Just had to walk out the cinema after 10mins of the showing of Kingsman because the couple next to me wouldn't stop using their mobiles , i politely asked the girl to stop using her phone she said it was an emergency so i said please go outside then she refused , i then said i'd go and complain she told me to go ahead , the manager came and asked her to stop , her boyfriend or father i couldn't tell told me to get a life you old '''uck.
Got a refund and complementary tickets but feel awful stomachs churning.

-Movie theatres are desperate for audiences to actually pay to watch a film there when they could just as easily watch the same film at home, so they don't actually care how bad audiences now behave as long as they pay.
-The employees are teenagers working for minimum wage, part time. They're not going to get in a conflict with paying customers.
the declining standard of audience behaviour reminds me of another related thing: remember when theatres used to play one single coca-cola commercial before a film and audiences would literally revolt? now there's 20 minutes of car commercials before a film, and audiences don't even notice anything weird about that. Partially because they're all fiddling with their cellphones, so they can watch ads of their own choosing.
* Ironic because people that are that attached to their phones generally don't have lives other than the fake one they post on Facefook.
Chriscoop , i didn't see the manager till i'd actually decided to leave the young attendant came into the cinema to ask the couple to stop using their phones , the film was only 10mins in and relatively full . I wouldn't have been able to watch another 90mins with these two next to me .
I hope you enjoy the film with your wife in a theatre full of respectful and polite people.

It even rang and was answered during the movie.
My dad and I can't deal with these people and moved to other available seats in the cinema. Luckily, it wasn't full.
I should do the "manners maketh man" routine on these people.

I think the bad behaviour is caused many times because peoples know that there is no conseqences to that behaviour.
I know my way of thinking is so different but for this I do not apologise, I just think that you must stand up to the bullies and the theives. Things will only get worse for you if you do not stop this.
I completely agree with you Joshua. I once tackled 4 burglars who were raiding my office, I lived in the apartment above at the time, when I heard them smashing the door down with pick axe handles I shouted out of the window and they didn't even flinch, so I charged down stairs and dealt with them 3 ended up in hospital, one with severe damage ( had to have his jaw wired and nose stitched back on he also lost a lot of teeth) they were arrested at hospital, they'd used a car that was stolen from a few streets away and had been responsible for many burglaries in the area. As for me I was cautioned for assault on the scene, questioned about an inert 50mm cartridge that was on my desk and the burglary was classed as an agreivated burglary. I was never charged with anything but annoyingly the wpc who questioned me advised me that in future it's better to leave them to it and claim from your insurance.
I wouldn't think twice about doing it again, in fact a couple of years ago I ejected 2 young chaps from a bar who made offensive and vulgar remarks to my wife who was standing next to me! I live by an old saying
" if you play with the bull you'll get horns up your arse"
It's always enjoyable.
I was thinking of the boy racer who was doing some crazy over taking , once on my way home.
I just had the words out, " Where's a cop when you need one ?" When up pops PC Plod with his
Red torch, to direct the young driver over to the hard shoulder.
Loads of drivers have him a friendly toot on the car horn as they passed.
i guess that i will not be answered but I think it is best to tell these people at the cinema what the experience is and why it is spoiled and then get the reply and tell us here what the reply said.
Oh I forget. the only other person who helped the lady I told about was my wife. She aided her while I chased the thief. Some others then helped her but only when they thought they were not in danger I think?
I would have got a serious bolloc''ng if i'd have cycled 50yrs ago showing my age now.
When I was younger we lived near a very big Park with miles and miles of footpaths, the park warden would put his stick through your spokes if he caught you cycling on them.
