They traipsed into screen 4, using their phones to light the way in the near-darkness.
It was obvious they'd be trouble. They laughed loudly, and one of the girls screeched. The film - Ouija: Origin of Evil - had barely started. Up and down, down and up, like a child's yo-yo, throughout the entire film. Phone on, phone off, on again, off again. One girl {the screecher} even managed to hold a quiet conversation on hers.
And not just the phone. They also spent much of the film vaping. Vaping. It sounds such a glamorous thing to do, and yet it looks so ridiculous. Especially when it's done in the cinema.
What is it with people who are unable to live for two hours without their phones or their pretend smoking? What monsters have we created in the form of the next generation?
And, perhaps more worryingly, why does nobody feel the need to ask them what they think they're doing? Even me.
*sigh*

It's a long time since they employed enough people to be in attendance for each screening! Can you believe they even did away with the intermission and the perky blonde selling ice-cream down at the front?! What is the world coming to!?

complaining alone might have just made them hostile to you - the cinema management should have realized they were that bad and vaping should be banned in cinemas

If they'd been immediately in front or behind me I would have had words. After twenty minutes of winding my belly into knots I finally managed to mostly forget that they existed. Vaping is banned at the cinema!

@poppylicious Now I remember why I don't go to main stream cinemas. And yes, vaping does sound rather dashing. No doubt vaping jackets will be all the rage this Christmas, even for those who don't vape .

We usually go to morning screenings, unless it can't be helped, as the riff-raff tend to be sleeping still. This one was late afternoon.
