I think the fear of her getting worse may have been a factor in addition to my non-confrontational’ness.

I still love going to the actual theater, though. If that sort of thing starts happening on a regular basis, I’d stop going, but fortunately it seems to be relatively rare in my area. I get bag rustlers more often than talkers. I can handle that a lot better, but it’s still pretty rude. The people who do it seem to be oblivious. I think I may have to use my sister’s line of “we are NOT in your living room” one of these times and see how that works out. Ha!

I can’t believe a guy brought his 2-year-old to Con Air! That’s right up there with one time where two friends and I went to see Blade 2, which was just super-gory and violent… and there was some lady with a kid who couldn’t have been over 5 sitting near the front. That’s just nuts.

Fortunately, she didn’t challenge me to a fight in the parking lot.

This happened to us for the Lord of the Rings. Running commentary from a 7 year old, who loved the waterfalls, I can report, but was scared through most of the movie.
And then the cellphone calls being answered….

And that was the last movie we bothered to go to the theater for. I’ll wait for them to get to Netflix, thank you very much.

When did people get so rude and obnoxious, so self absorbed and unbearably narcissistic? She probably would have gotten even louder if you HAD spoken up to her. How DARE you shush her! She would have been indignant.

That happened to us when we went to see Con Air. A guy had a toddler with him who was crying and yelling. We said something to him and he tried to get my husband to go out and fight him in the parking lot. Now that’s class! Fighting in front of your 2 year old because you’re so sure you’re right, to let him cry for 2 hours in a rated R movie! ARGH!

I’ve been known to turn around and say, “Excuse me, but we are NOT in your living room!” While Dave sinks lower and lower into his seat, of course.

One of my pet peeves.
