10 Annoying Types of People in the Movie Theater

1. Patrons of the Concessions/Bathroom Relay

Alright. Let's go through this nice and slow. The best time to get concessions? Before the movie. Why? Because you don't miss the movie. The best time to use the bathroom? After the movie. Why? Because you don't miss the movie. I get it. When you have to go, you have to go. And no one will throw a hissy fit if you get up to use the restroom mid-movie. It's a minor annoyance, but it's very forgivable. But don't turn into the type that sits fifteen minutes into the movie, goes and gets popcorn, comes back, goes and gets candy thirty minutes later, comes back, and then goes to the bathroom. Because people in the theater will do their best to make sure you don't come back. Maybe violently. Or maybe they'll settle for stealing your firstborn. Common courtesy is going to save you in the long run. What about you folks? Anything to add? Any stories? Share your testimonies, people. Let it all out. Let's keep the theater a place of respect...or at least try to get it there.

Cameron Carpenter is an aspiring screenwriter, current film and journalism student, and self-diagnosed cinephile, which only sounds bad in certain circles. Devoted fan of comics, movies, theater, Jesus Christ, Sidney Lumet, and Peter O'Toole, he sometimes spends too much time on his Scribd and comicbookmovie.com, but doesn't think you're one to judge, devoted reader. You can follow him on Twitter to watch him talk to people you didn't know exist. Oh, and Daredevil is quite the big deal around here (my head).
