Going to the movies is one of those great past times. It was when you were lucky enough your parents took you to the movies and got you buttered popcorn. It was the first date and your hands met in the popcorn bag and it was "so romantic". It was your one opportunity to wear that cute shirt and not stay home on a Friday night. Going to the movies holds a special place in your heart.
But, let's be honest there are some experiences that will make you wish you just streamed a movie at home.
1. The tall person who could have chosen to sit anywhere else but in front of you.
So, the seat to the left didn't look comfortable?
2. The kids who are way too young to be seeing an R rated movie.
Excuse me! Where is your mother? Or worse...Why is your mother watching this with you?
3. The people that enter the movie late looking for seats in the middle of the row.
It's okay. I can just crouch up on to my seat while you shuffle into the middle of the row 15 minutes into the movie. Not a problem.
4. The person who is trying to reunite with a friend they haven't seen in 3 years during the best scene of the movie.
I'm just saying. . . Starbucks is right down the street.
5. The people who clap at the end of the movie.
Wow. I didn't realize I was at the Oscars.
6. The people who keep spoiling the plot because they've clearly seen the movie already.
What do you mean he dies?! Dangit!
7. The teenagers who have to Snapchat every moment of the movie.
Don't forget to mention on your story that you are actually the worst.
8. The person who decides your seat is a soccer ball.
It's totally fine I love the feeling of someone punching me in the back repeatedly. Keeps me on my toes.
9. The people that brought in the really good smelling fast food or the noisy food.
Gosh, dangit! Now I want Chick-Fil-A.
10. The couple that shows more PDA than the couple in the movie.
We get it, you guys are adorable. But, please go be adorable somewhere else. I'm trying to watch Ryan Gosling take his shirt off.
11. The old people who don’t know how to turn their brightness down on their phones.
Lesson Time: Go to settings on your phone, select display and brightness, turn it down. Tada.
12. The stranger who sat too close even though there were so many other seats.
So, rock, paper, scissors for the arm rest?
13. The person who laughs so loud it’s funnier than the actual joke.
Honestly, this just tends to be added entertainment.
14. The person who falls asleep and starts snoring.
Yes, you did just pay $15 to take a nap. But, I don't remember paying $15 to listen to someone snore.
So, you're out at least $15 for the movie, you're annoyed, and you had to throw on clothes. Maybe, PJ's, a pint of Ben & Jerry's, and Netflix doesn’t sound so bad.
