Rudeness at the Movies

The main thing that I see at my local movie theater is the way young people act during a movie. I don't mean to categorize, mane young people have good manners, but there are those that are immature and want to turn the movie into a laughing stock. I had it when its a serious movie, like a drama, where you need to be into the movie to be able to understand it. I do wish we had more ushers!

I used to work in a movie theater and we were supposed to walk the aisles every 20 minutes or so. But this was years ago! I was in my teens, but that was our job. After we worked the concession stand, and it slowed down, we would start walking the aisles every few minutes. I do have issues with going to theaters now. We went to see Transformers with a bunch of friends and there was this very large lady that just plain out stank to the high heavens. It was that yeasty cheesy smell from not bathing frequently or cleaning well. We were in the aisle above her and we could smell her. I felt terrible for the gentleman sitting next to her. It was so bad my friend and I had to put napkins up to our noses to stop from smelling it. I am not putting down larger ladies, I am a plus size lady myself, but for crying out loud, take the time to clean yourself and be presentable. Hygiene is important! Not to mention the cell phones ringing and people talking on them during the movie. I have witnessed toddlers being brought into movies and causing a ruckus. I have reported it to management but they don't really do anything. They just want the money that's the bottom line.

Fortunately for me I've never had this problem. I'm a geek for my movies too, so I loathe being interrupted and the like. I don't go to the theaters often though and when I do it's odd times when the theater isn't all sorts of super crowded. I used to know a lot of folks who worked in the movie theaters. The easiest thing would be to go out and get a manager. The theaters in my area have walkie talkies. They'll get a manager if you can't find one yourself. Also if the theater is good they'll give you a free movie or something more for your troubles. As long as I'm compensated I'm good.
