My movie pet peeves:

1. Infants or very small children in ANY movie. Why anyone would perpetuate this sort of suffering on humanity, I don't know. Toddlers who continually utter "Mommy, who's that?" or "Mommy, what's that man doing?" throughout the movie should be instantly removed from the theater.

2. Smartass teenagers who feel it is their right and obligation to make noise simply for the sake of making noise. It really gives me a great deal of pleasure to have these little bastards removed from the theater.

3. ANYONE who talks during the movie. I just cannot understand the cretins who pay full price for a movie ticket and then talk throughout the movie. Many times, they don't even talk about the movie.

4. Self important ASSHOLES who don't have the common courtesy to put their cell phones on silent during the movie. What's worse, if the phone actually rings, they hold an out-loud conversation, then have the nerve to shoot nasty looks at the people who are shushing them and asking them to leave the theater.

5. If we can have great advances in medicine and technology, it would not be implausible to devote an entire industry and research making food wrappers and other such containers containers noise-free. I suppose that this would be asking waaaaay too much.

6. One of the earlier posters mentioned people bathing themselves in cologne or perfume, and gagging all of the people around them. I have indeed experienced this, but I have also experienced the other end of the spectrum - These subhuman food-stained t-shirt wearing assholes are sometimes (but not always) insanely obese, and barely able to squeeze into the theater seat without greasing it up first. They perpetually sweat profusely and have not worn deodorant since 1994. This happens more times than I care to admit.

7. When I am fortunate enough to see a movie in a empty or near empty theater, I usually have some twit that comes in and, despite a whole theater full of empty seats, sits either right in front of or right behind me.

Oh, I could go on all day.

It is for these reasons and others that I have curtailed my movie activities to times when I know that not many people are at the theater. I will sometimes even take a day off work (Monday of Tuesday) if there are many movies that I want to see.
