Actually, that's just called manners, etiquette, etc. Is being polite in a movie theater too much to ask? Trust me, if we were in the same movie theater, and you were causing a disturbance such as that guy did or that lady did, you would be the one being asked to leave, not me. Why? Because I KNOW better than to cause a distraction or what someone else might perceive as a distraction during a movie.

As for class, I don't know about your university, but at mine we have a week after class begins to change our schedules around. If you don't like the rules a prof has about cell phones, don't take their class. Otherwise you just have to suck it up, grin, and bear it. Personally, if a teacher wants me to have mine off, it's off. I do prefer to have it on, but it's no big deal if I can't have it on. I paid good money for that class so I should maximize my learning opportunity. However, instructors should realize distractions of all kinds happen--but it is in the best interest of themselves and their students to minimize those distractions as much as possible for the sake of creating a genuine learning environment.
