Movie Behavior

Tweet

Why is it that everytime I go to the movies I have some idiot behind me that keeps kicking my seat and talking and laughing loudly enough that I miss things being said? Why do people allow their children to talk and kick the seat in front of them at movies? I have a very strict rule when I take my step son to the movies he is not allowed to talk or fidget, I will not allow him to ruin the movie for someone else and he knows that if he talks or fidgets we are leaving immediately so he sits quietly and he watches the movie UNLESS my husband is with us, in which case he will do anything he likes, thus INFLICTING himself upon others and detracting from their enjoyment of the movie, which is why I absolutely refuse to go to the movies with him if my husband is going, I will only take him if I can take him alone because I know if we are alone he will behave. Since I am sooooo strict about it with my own kid, and so courteous to others so that they may enjoy the movie, why is it that when I go to the movies I have to put up with other people's rude kids? I thought what goes around comes around? Should'nt I be able to enjoy a movie in theater without having to miss a bunch of it? I do not like to be confrontational, so when people keep kicking my seat I look around at them, sometimes give them a dirty look, but I don't say anything, but they see me, they know they are bothering me, yet they do it anyway. It makes me want to just wait for the DVD. I think there should be a pre-movie announcement on the screen along with the one that says, "Please turn off your cell phone" there should be a "Please do not talk, laugh loudly and excessively so people miss what is being said next, or kick the seat in front of you and please make sure your children are quiet, well-behaved, and do not kick the seat in front of them and for godsakes, close your mouth on the popcorn!!!!" GRRRRRRR
