Conversely, people talking, cell phone calls and all the rest are just f**king rude. I've got no problem telling someone to shut up. (If they don't respond to the first three times I politely shush them.) I think people need to be FAR more aware of their surroundings.

I know that on this website you are preaching to the converted, but nevertheless, thank you again for saying it.

When I worked at the discount house and we had "Dark Knight", the assistant manager was a lazy gal, younger than me (seniority sucks). One night it was just us watching the place. She didn't have the balls to deal with these siblings (no parents with them. a couple were older. 13-15?) making a ruckuss. She asked me to deal with it when we got complaints about them switching seats and talking. I went in and said firmly "We've received numerous complaints about all of you. Now you stay in one seat and shut up or when I come back, I'm throwing you out. Am I clear?" and they agreed. 5 minutes later I got another complaint. I went back in and said to the group "Get up. Come with me". One started to follow. I walked back and said "No, ALL OF YOU. Get your stuff. Follow me". I got them in the lobby and said "I warned you about your behavior. Now you can leave. There's the door". They started yelling and complaining. I said "This is not up for debate. You were a nuisance. You were warned. Get out or we call the cops". One of the girls said "Well we need to pee first". I said "You have 2 minutes. Hurry up". The girls of the group went in the bathroom. They started getting louder and 2 minutes went by. I looked at the manager lady and said "I'm knocking on the door. Do you have a problem with that? She said "No get them out". I knocked on the door and said "Come on get out!" producing a "What the fuck?!" from the bathroom. They came out and I said "I am done with all of you. Leave in 30 seconds or the cops are coming". They said
"It's cold out".
"Not my problem".
"What about our money back?"
"You forfeited it"
"What?" (lol. my fav part)
"You don't get it back when I have to throw you out!"
I started pulling out my cell to call the cops. The lead girl went "You calling the cops?! Who the fuck do you think you are?!" and she walked toward me with a fist. I showed her the screen with 911 punched in and ready to call. She stopped walking. I simply pointed toward me and the door and said "Pick a direction. In one button, cops come. She said "Fuck you!" and they left.

I have many stories I know of. I always tell people to put the phone away etc… but I have to go clean my house for guests tonight. "Ghostbuters" Blu-ray and hot dogs!

I worked at a movie theater from last summer to this. It was a 2 screen discount house. If I peeked my head in, even during trailers and saw a cell phone, I walked right over and said "You need to put that away right now or you'll be asked to leave. Thank you".

When I saw "Defiance" with my dad a few guys came in during the opening credits. They were like "Oh man! We're late! It started already! What the hell!?" and sat behind us. I turned around and said "Will you be quiet, its the credits, you didn't miss anything". Then they kept talking in a normal voice, ignoring people shsshing them. I didn't even turn around and said "Why don't you just shut the hell up?!" which got some minor claps from the audience. The guy said "Excuse me?! How dare you talk to me that way! Say that to my face!". I turned to my father and I said loudly enough for everyone to hear "You're right. He's not the person to talk to. I should get a manager. They'll get thrown out and we'll have peace." That brought a few "Woohs" and chuckles from everybody else. The guy said "Fuck you!" and was silent for the rest of the show.

When I worked for the discount house the owner also ran a first run theater in a neighboring town and my friends and I could see movies for free. We went to see "Inkheart" for something to do. We went to the last show of the day and had the whole movie to ourselves! Then these like 15-16 year olds went bouncing around and started screwing about in our movie. So I turned around and yelled at them "Go screw around somewhere else!". 40 minutes later, anticipating the concession stand closing I went to refill the popcorn. They were still going in and out of movies. I walked up to them and said "I know the owner. I work for him, and he's upstairs. You obviously don't have tickets to something, so leave now, or I will go get him." One of the girls said "You don't know the owner!" I said "That was a bad theory to test and started walking toward the counter and someone I knew. They ran like hell.

I had somebody in a "Wolverine" showing pull out a lighter. The theater staff said unless he lit something up or they witnessed it, they couldn't do anything.

When I went to to "Star Wars III" the 2nd time, a mom brought her kids. The film had died down a bit in audience. When kids started getting murdered by Anakin she grabbed them and they left. My friend Sara & I were like "Could have told you that!"

When I went to "The Patriot" years ago the guy in front of me answered his cell and was like "Yeah man. I'm at a movie. Huh? The Patriot. You know Mel Gibson and the Civil War (yes he said CIVIL War)". I leaned in, and mind you I was 12 years old, and said "Put the damn phone away"

I don't like doing that and certainly don't like being forced to do it, but… man, you gotta draw the line somewhere.
