CELL PHONE movie theater antics

[timiddoor]

Been to the movie theater lately

I have a bone to pick with the cell phone addicts at movie theaters.

When I walk in they are busy messing around with there cell phones texting or checking mail constantly and for long periods of time. They can not sit still and relax. They behave like crack addicts. They also leave there phopnes open during the movie and the light bothers me from the cell phone screen.

Please leave them closed and the light off.

I have certain procedures in place when I enter the theater to avoid the lights from cell phones.

1 I always bring wet towels from the bathroom to place in the seats next to and in front of me. I figure a person will not move a towel or other related trash and sit else where.

2 I always sit in front of a cell phone person. I have moved in front of a rude cell person when he was the only person in the theater other than me. He than did not want me in front of him and moved further back and to the side.

3 I sit down some times and as the movie starts I move to a better location climbing over people just at the start of the movie.

4 Think about that next time when you enter a movie theater with a cell phone out. DO YOU want me to sit in front of you and do you like moving wet trash if the theater is crowded.

I also sneak in burgers and the wrappers with mayo on them are perfect seat savers. I also cough and clear my nose a lot to get some people to move away for fear of catching my fake cold.

I've long stopped going to the cinema, for most of the reasons stated above. Sometimes I'll go to the nearby indie one that shows world cinema titles and documentaries.

interesting, all your antics wouldnt scare me one bit. i'd most likely would be ignoring, well, yano, since im too busy on my cell phone. doing all your childish things makes you just like the cell phone people, i mean climbing over seats would have me get an usher and have you removed from the theatre. then in the end, im right back on my cell phone. have a nice day, schmuck :wave: :rofl:

I wonder how long it will be before the big cinaplex install a cell phone jammer.

I always turn my phone off when the movie starts. It's a distraction to other people and to be honest, if you can't stay off your phone for about 2 hours then you have no business being at a movie theater. If you have it on in case of emergencies, then that's what vibrate is for.

per rasq's reply-- not to pick a fight

but I do not actually climb over people or chairs but I sometimes move late to a good permament seat for the movie.
this makes a lot of to people allow me to choose a seat in the middle by standing up or move their feet so I can squeeze by from the side aisle location.

I scan for phones in the beginning and move to a good location later on.
I do not trust young people as they are generally cell phone crack heads.
My using paper products as seat savers in no more than people leaving paper wrapper in the theatre after the show {I only leave them quicker plus it gives the ushers a job to get paid for).

CELL PHONES are the signal for me and people like me to sit in front of you.
The light can not bother me if I am directly in front of you

Getting the usher to stop a cell addict means I lose 10 minutes of a movie- so that is not an option.

I think theatres thought about jamming but I suspect it would create dead spots near theatres which cell companies do not like- nor do their customers if you live near, drive by or work near a theatre.

bottom line --the presentation of a phone early b 4 a movie starts is a good thing . so people who are bothered by the light on the small screen interfering with the light on the big screen can plan ahead.

GENERALLY talking on the phone is not a problem as it normally does not happen. thank god.

I have thought about bringing water to spill on the floor above a cell phone persons seat so they are putting their shoes in water. (it flows down hill)

in the darkness I have taken a pee out the sides of my short short pants- worth it as most gets on the floor

 

[timiddoor]

I was going to come with a device that scrambles cell phones. They sell them on line and disrupt the signal. They cost a lot and do not work on all cell phones. I think the cell phone industry got those banned for obvious reasons. I was going to wear a shirt that said "cell phone reader.com" as if I was getting info on them over the air.

You're pissing on the floor in a theater and you have the balls to bitch about people looking at their fucking cell phones? News for you, amigo....you piss on my shoes and you'll be missing some chiclets faster than you can stick your little weenie back inside your "short short pants". Oh....and thanks for the fascinating revelation that water flows downhill. I'm sure none of us ever realized that before!

Here's a tip for you that'll solve your problem forever. Sit in the front row. It was designed for people like you.

Three things I picked up from this post, in addition to your obsession with cellphone users in theaters:

1) you wear short-shorts (you're one of those metrosexual guys or something? :wtf.

2) You object to cellphones but you pee on the floor of the theater?!

3) You pee on the floor out of your shorts... and most of it gets on the floor???


For the people here who wonder why I've recently said that I look forward to the day when the sun goes dark & cold, thank you for your posts, timidddoor. :yesyes:

I think this may have been written as satire. It's funny if not a little out there. But yeah, cell phone users need to turn their phones off during movies.

 

[hedonis]

Not a fan of the constant phone users in a theater, but gosh, pissing on the floor seems a tad extreme. In fact, ANYTHING other than just sitting somewhere different (Jagger was right about the front row), or reporting to an usher that it's bothering you? Is just as bad as people on their phones during a movie. I can make it a couple hours without my phone, but clearly, there are people who cannot do that, and that's too bad. But strategically placing garbage or wet towels on seats (Vandalism), or pissing on the floor (REALLY vandalism) are actually, physically harming the theater.

I recommend for timiddoor- Netflix. Hulu. Some kind of streaming site, because you don't seem fit for public viewings of movies.

Those people should expelled from the theater after one warning

We are sitting in a theater waiting for the show to start. 5 women are sitting a row behind us off to the left. The lights go down and we are getting a waft of KFC up our noses. They had boxes of chicken and coleslaw and mashed potatoes with gravy and fries. How they got this shit through the door I'll never know. They were asking and passing stuff back and forth, asking for more gravy exchanging wings for drums, I thought we were at a picnic. This continued throughout the entire movie. Glancing over down their row as we were leaving there was a pile of bones, boxes, napkins, they just left the shit there on the floor not even wrapped into bags.

So far haven't had a problem with ppl using their phones in the theaters since they keep showing trailers of DO NOT use cell phones while movie is playing. The only problem I have is ppl talking or singing during the movie...It's really annoying like just stfu already and watch the damn movie...

pissing is not usual but a payback for rude behavior. rude you = rude me. in the dark when no one is in the aisle your in it can be done. as for trash/ paper products how often do you pick up after yourself at sporting events/movies. I sit in the fifth or seventh row and prefer sitting further back but visible cell phone presence forces me further forward. rows 1-4 are too close but rarely people sit there.

if people would be considerate of the light on there small screens it would be more enjoyable for all on the big screen.

the admonition to not talk on cell phones is not enough as some do not realize the light bothers some people.


GETTING THE USHER is not an option if you have to go down the elevator and miss so much of the movie.

another time a person sitting near me moved to the front row of a stadium theater so everyone could see the bright light of her phone

1--- PEOPLE should say whether the light bothers you at a theater or whether just talking bothers you.

the kfc chicken picnic out does any of my experiences as for leaving it. it provides a job for the ushers so they can pull down a paycheck.

purses, coats are a good way to sneak in food. In cargo shorts I can sneak in burgers fries and a can of pop and a tootie roll or two

 

[darkwarrior3007]

Wait a minute, let me get this straight. Your answer to combat people that use their phones during a movie is to whip your dick out and pee on them/floor?

 

[Little Red Wagon Repairman]

They pick up their phone and I cut the cheese and aim it that way. I probably had a couple Egg McMuffins with hash browns and coffee about an hour before going there. Annoyance < Riot

 

[Chopper3000]

I always wear a blindfold to prevent glare from mobile (cell) phones distracting me from the enjoyment of the film.

I don't find it that difficult to lug an empty soda cup and popcorn bag to a trash can, so yes, I do clean up after myself in a theater. But what you're doing by pissing on the floor is actually committing a crime in most jurisdictions. There are reasons people aren't supposed to just get out ole scratch an hose down the floor with urine. You are fucking causing the theater to violate any number of health codes, in most places (Whether or not you get caught) you're not supposed to have your dick out in public, and also- you are pissing on a floor. And also, with your other awesome tactics- you're bringing trash INTO a movie theater.

In short- after seeing three threads by you- you are a classless, passive-aggressive troll with no regard for other people.

Enjoy the movies!

I agree about the cell phones, the lights bother me too. What bothers me the most though is people talking. If you're spending the entire time talking to your friends during the movie, gtfo. Lost nearly an entire half of the movie Noah to a group like 8 people when that came out.
