The movie theater-going experience is one to be cherished. An auditorium can be filled with laughter, joy, sadness, and love. Some people go to the movies to escape reality and enjoy some action from the likes of "Mad Max: Fury Road." Another group may go to the movies to find relatable stories. There's never a bad reason for going to the movies.
The movie theater can provide seats and delicious snacks. However, there are issues that occur way too often in the theater. If you've been in a theater, you'll recognize these pet peeves.
1. People showing up late!
"Making my way downtown, walking fast, faces pass, and I'm distracting as many people as I possibly can!" Are people aware that they're distracting others when they show up late? (Yes, I made up the last part.)
2. Annoying kids
It would be nice if all parents taught their kids how to act in the movie theater.
3. PDA
Have you ever had that one moment where you're watching a great scene, but you're having a hard time hearing the dialogue because there's a make out session happening? Same. For those who commit PDA, GET A ROOM!
4. Overreacting
If you've seen a horror movie, you'll know exactly why "overreacting" is on this list.
5. Talking
Shut up.
6. Cell phones
There is no good reason for anyone to use a cell phone throughout the runtime. Cell phone use is beyond distracting for all moviegoers. If you're one of those people who can't go two hours without checking your phone, leave the theater. One more thing, don't record the movie!
7. Dirty theaters
While it is the employee's job to make sure every auditorium is clean, it would be nice for patrons to clean up after themselves.
8. Munchers
Chew with your mouth closed!
9. Someone you don't know sits next to you
It's one thing when the theater is packed. It becomes creepy when a few people are there.
10. Not every theater has pre-select seating
Do you know how much easier life would be if every theater in the United States had pre-select seating? You wouldn't have to wait for hours in order to get a good seat for "Beauty and the Beast."
