[QUOTE="sniffles, post: 2820999, member: 30035"] I would've wanted to say, "What business is so important it can't wait for 2 hours?" (well, 3 if it was Kong, but you know what I mean). Even doctors get time off occasionally! My fiancee once had the experience of having the person behind him kick his chair back repeatedly during a movie, then start yelling and cursing at him when he asked her to stop. When I went to see the most recent Star Wars film, a woman behind us kept chatting loudly to the children with her. Finally one of my female friends, who's usually a very retiring soul, turned around and asked the woman to be quiet. Unfortunately it only worked for a few minutes before she started yakking again. She seemed to be explaining the movie to the kids, although they looked old enough to me to be able to understand it on their own. Even if they hadn't been old enough (in which case they shouldn't have been there) she could have told them she'd explain it later. I also shared the theatre during [B]Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban [/B] with a couple and their young daughter, who looked to be about 4. The little girl never sat down. She wandered up and down the aisle during the entire movie. Then the whole family left about half an hour [I]before [/I] the movie finished. I wish I could afford to waste money like that. And once we sat next to a father with two kids in a crowded theatre. He kept the smaller child in his lap. They were sitting right next to my fiancee, who wasn't very happy about having two people in the seat next to him. When the child started complaining of being ill the father kept shushing him. Finally when the child continued complaining, Dad picked the kids up and left. I can understand that he didn't want to waste the money he spent on tickets and refreshments, but I kept being afraid his kid was going to throw up on my fiancee. :\ [/QUOTE]
