I used to work in a movie theater, and I would just like to explain the sticky floor phenomenon.
Movie theater floors get mopped every night (at least big theaters in big cities do, the tiny theater in the podunk town I grew up in wasn't nicknamed the Sticky Shoe for nothing). However, drinks get spilled all the time. A large tipped over coke covers a lot of floor. Most theaters only have a few minutes to clean up major problems between showings. Add numerous spills, spilled candy, and tracking caused by walking through the spill, and it makes for very sticky floors.
As for my pet peeves...most have already been covered numerous times, but one thing I can't freaking stand is when people buy something with a crinkly wrapper and open it slowly, as if that will lessen the noise. It just extends the crinkling, so rip the damn thing open already and be done with it!
Anyone else have theaters with reserved seating? I hate that too.
