people who use their cellphones inside movie theaters

Well before starting the movie there are rules that should do, like silent your mobile phones because it may destruct others. Yes and i do that. But if someone will call me inside the movie house ill not answer it. Because i really focus on the movie and i don't want anyone to bother me. I remember the last time when i watched "law abiding citizen", there are many scenes that made me shock, and i was screaming loud. And those at the back were saying to me that i should keep silent. lol and i couldn't help myself i still did the same thing. But after that i talked to them for my forgiveness. And we became friends.

For me, well, I don't care as long as I don't hear it. If I don't hear their phones going off and if I don't hear the annoying sounds of texting, then I wouldn't notice it. If they are noisy, then I'd get irritated and maybe even go "Shh" if I get pissed off enough. Some people are really THAT inconsiderate. They remind me of those ones who also never turn off their phones during church service.

Cell phones are evil and even worse are the people who use them in the cinema

I probably wouldn't dare say anything, though if it happened more than once I'd probably turn round and make appropriate noises...lol But I find it HUGELY annoying. And rude. SHUT UP!!

I will never understand why certain people feel the need to use their cell phone inside movie theatres. It's just downright ignorant and obnoxious to begin talking on a cell phone during a movie, and ruins the experience for the rest of us due to such needless inconsideration. If you receive a call during the movie, at least have the common sense to step out of the screening to resume your conversation, instead of blurting it out for all to hear over a movie that everybody else is trying to enjoy. Also, what I can't understand is people who constantly text during a movie. In the past, I've been to the movies with people who watch the screens of their phones more than they do the actual movie. Why even bother paying for a movie if you aren't even going to watch it and pay more attention to your phone than what's happening on-screen?

It is really annoying to hear someone screaming at his mobile phone when you are watching a movie. Well we should accept that we are in a public place. However, the movie/theater owner should ensure to have a house rule that can be applied to all cinema goers that all mobile phones should be silenced or switched off. Anyway, we are paying to watch a movie, not to hear a telephone conversation from another moviegoer. Moviegoers should practice politeness and be considerate with others. I think this boils down only to a character of the person.

When I went to watch a movie in the cinema, the first thing I did was to set my cell phone in a silent mode and I would remind my hubby to do the same. Some people have no cell phone etiquette, that's why they just answered the phone without concerned about their surroundings. They were actually disturbing other people even when before the movie was playing, there was a warning sign for the audience about the silence mode! I never encountered anybody who would reprove other persons because of this, but what I normally did, I just said something loudly either to myself or hubby to show my annoyance. I didn't directly say it to this particular person, but if he/she heard it, he/she would realize that the words were actually meant for him/her!

I had experienced the same thing that you went through. I felt annoyed and disturbed especially that I was so intent in listening to the conversation that transpired in the movie. Everyone was looking towards where he was seated and there was someone who called his attention. He must have forgotten to set his phone to silent mode. I am sure he has read announcements about this on screen and as posted in the entrance of movie theaters but, human as we are, he, too, forgets things or fails to do something. I don't think I should waste time for such a small misdemeanor; I would just let it go.

It's very annyoying when someone brings their cellphone wirh them to the movie theater. You just get to to a climatic part of the movie. you are on the edge of your seat. Somebody's cellpphone is ringing. They carry on a conversation that interrupts your movie experience.

Yes, also i hate this type of manner. Now a days it seems very fashion. People are thinking that, cellphone is a prestigious one. It is very common thing. Not, only theatre's and also hospitals, they should break the rules. Even educated people also doing the same. They know it, but they like to do it.

Hi, I really dislike people who actually make a small noise in the cinema, for godsake you are interrupting a huge amount of people who actually pay their money to watch the movie in silence. I suggest you close you cell, and just pay attention to the movie. It is only a win - win situation if you do that.

I am an avid movie goer and I just hate it when people use their cell phones in the theaters. I think that it is very rude. Sometimes you can't hear the movie because they are talking a bit to loud and don't even think of others around them who are trying to watch the movie.

Hi Ya I too had this experience.. We are all in India. All weekends we visit a theatre..One day we all friends went to a hit film... Sitting very interestly seeing that film.. Suddenly what happened in a very thrilling scene a suudden ringtone we heard behind us.. We turned and see.. An old lady switched on her mobile and started to talk in her mobile continuously.. We are sooo angered and dont know what to do... Its a hot incident happened to me on that vacation

Ok! that was rude i mean who talks on the phone out loud in a cinema. Well in Cairo where used to lived before it was so common to not put your phone on silence, i mean you would suddenly hear a guy speaking arabic out loud jsut beside you and they don't even bother walking away. So annoying but i guess it's just their culture. Since nobody mind that he was screaming on the phone except me, was looking at him and gave him the look so he walked out. But other then that i've been to the movies in much every part of the country and Egypt is the only country where people do this! They even try to scam you while you're buying popcorn!!!!!

Its really hateful when you are watching a very interesting movie and there are cellphones ringing.Why does a person has become so callous that he does not care for other people.I too, get annoyed with such people and feel sometimes that i should better tell the person to behave properly but most of the times keep silent and hide my frustration inside.I remember when we went to watch one very good movie that a person came talking in his phone loudly and was obstructing my way and the movie has already started.I felt very angry at that time,but soon he disappeared and I felt relaxed and enjoyed the movie.

I have seen this in the theater before. These are peopl who don't know or want to follow the rules. They tell you on the screen to please shut off all cellphones. However, I guess they don't have to follow or obey the rules. People like this make me sick. When it happened the last time I was in a theatre someone yelled at him and told him to shut it off. That could have started a big fight thank God it didn't. Its just plain rude and ignorant.

hi,ybong007.i dislike talking on cellphone in a theater,and I don't like other people doing so ,either.unfortunately,it's a common phenomenone in a theater.and the man talking on the phone is always talkin loud,making the others near him can't hear the movie cleary.when someone stare at him angrily,he pay no attention at all,seeming enjoying other's look...it's too impolite. cellphone brings a lot of comvinience to us,it has changed our lives to some degree.and I prefer we don't use it at unsuitable places and occasions. have a nice day!
