10 Pet Peeves Everyone Has At The Movie Theater
Digital Trends

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."

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
