What annoys you MOST at the movies?

Question

...it could be from the price, to the people. Please tell me! this is for a paper! please & thank you!

Answer 1

The people who don't find a baby sitter for their babies. The babies can't even understand the movie and they cry through most of it anyway.

Answer 2

I cannot stand the lack of leg room in most theaters. I'm 6'7", and trust me, I don't want to kick the back of your chair, but I don't want to fold myself into a pretzel for 2 and a half hours either.

Prices are a very close second! $10 bucks for a ticket, and then $5 more for a soda. Forget about candy, and if you have a date, you'll need to take out a home loan!

And they still don't make enough money so they sell commercial space before the movie and product placement IN the movie.

And they wonder why there is such a market for pirated DVDs ... not that I own any, nor support such a thing... it's like stealing!

Answer 3

1. People that sit behind you and kick your seats.
2. People who answer their cell phones, talk for 5 minutes in a loud whisper, and THEN say, "I have to go, I'm at the movies!"
3. People who loudly try to predict what is going to happen next ("He's gonna die!" or "Oooh, they're gonna get it on!").
4. Parents who bring their children to a movie that obviously will have adult content.
5. People who show up to the movies drunk.
6. Couples who sit in front of you and not just make out, but get downright NASTY.
7. People who throw their popcorn and/or candy.
8. People that make 25 trips during the course of a 90 minute film ... to the bathroom, the concession stand, the bathroom again ....
9. People who smoke in the restrooms instead of going outside. And like you can't wait an hour and a half for a cigarette!
10. Theatre workers that check your ID over and over ... when you purchase your ticket, when you enter the theatre, when you come back from the bathroom ...

Answer 4

******************************************

1) Giggly teens.

2) Cell phones ringing.

3) Conversations on cell phones.

4) People throwing food.

5) Food stuck to the screen.

6) Shoes making that sticky sound on the floor at your seat.

7) Having to sit too far to one side because of my next one.

8) Crowds. (Everybody has to be first to see some movies so you have to park a mile away, bad seats when you do get in, and always people who can't figure out which theater is # 12 even though they're in order straight down the hall)

9) Movies being sold out clear into the following day. (this really annoys me. I'm here now. They aren't. But I can't see the movie because they stopped in and picked up a ticket earlier today or yesterday)

10) Indecisive people in the concession line. (been in line for the past 10 minutes in front of you, now it's their turn, and they have no idea what they even want. There should be express lanes. 'Popcorn and drinks only' sold there.)

Answer 5

Noise of any sort that is not part of the movie. There is one particular noise that no one has mentioned that is a particular pet peeve of mine. It occurs when someone has bought a candy item that is wrapped in a material that make a particularly loud noise when they open it and peel it back. They almost always think that if they do this SLOWLY it will somehow seem less annoying when in fact if they would just take two seconds, open the damn thing, and pour the candy in their hands it would all be over. I've had to restrain myself from reaching over to someone and opening their candy for them.

Answer 6

The ridiculously loud volume that the movie is shown at. Maybe this happens just at cineplexes, but come on! The last movie I saw at an actual theater was Signs (what was that, like 5 years ago?), and the volume was so high it was painful (OK, the film was painful too, but that's another story). I haven't been to a movie theater since.

Answer 7

Ignorant people who:
A) Don't turn off their phones
B) Laugh at pivotal moments
C) Laugh because the movie is in a foreign language with subtitles.
D) Talk

Ticket prices.
******* that work behind the snack counter.
Workers who constantly inspect your tickets.
The fact that there are few good movies out these days.

Answer 9

I'm undecided between people who talk as if they are on the couch at home - and the folks who bring an entire dinner.
But they are usually the same people.

Rent the movie folks! Leave the rest of us in Peace!

2 things. Cell phones going off in the middle of the movie, and
