rude things people do in the movie theater

i know we have all been to the movies at some point in our life. and, most likely we have all been to the movies and probably wanted to punch someone sitting near you in the face. that happened to me today.

it really blows my mind the things that people will do in a movie theater. there are the people that bring babies to the movies. a baby can't even make it without crying two hours at home, a place where there are no strangers and there are plenty of things to occupy them. what makes their parents think that they may just make it through a movie without crying? then there are the people that talk and comment on literally every single thing that happens. this woman sat in front of me, annie, and my mom when we saw the count of monte cristo. i think this person also sat behind laurie at the sisterhood of the traveling pants 2 (yes, I saw that movie and loved it). there are the groups of teens who sit with their feet on chairs, laughing at parts that aren't funny and chatting with their friends as if they were sitting at starbucks. why do you choose to go to a movie theater to do this? are your friends that hideous that you need to pay $10 to sit in the dark and talk to them? go to a park bench . . . ITS FREE. then there are the texters. news flash people texting in the movie theater, its dark and there and everyone can SEE WHAT YOU ARE DOING!

well, today, as i sat in the theater seeing funny people (funny but too long), the man sitting in my row (two seats away, i had the pleasure of sitting next to his girlfriend), chose to take multiple calls on his cell phone during the film. not only did he take calls, but he had conversations. he didn't answer and say 'hey i'm at the movies let me call you back,' he chatted with the person on the other line. first of all, WHY ARE YOU ANSWERING YOUR PHONE TO BEGIN WITH? what in gods name is that important that you are answering your phone during a movie, and if there is something that important that you need to answer your phone for, WHY ARE YOU AT A MOVIE TO BEGIN WITH. i decided he was a drug dealer and that there was a problem with his drug shipment. so, he was kind of like a sonny corinthos (GH) type of guy. still, if that's who you are, get the movie for free on your home theater. no one wants to listen to you talking on the phone when they've paid $10 to see a movie.
