I work at a theater. Here is what I hate.
People who complain the floor is sticky

People who complain the floor is slippery because we just mopped it so its not sticky.

People who change thier children during a movie and leave the dirty diaper wedged in between the seats so we can't find it until 3 weeks later and the whole theater smells.

People who have sex during a movie and leave the used condom on the ground for me to pick up.

Junior High kids who come to movies in groups of 20 and insist on doing EVERYTHING together including going to the bathroom. This means that usually an ENTIRE row of kids get up in the middle of a movie at least several times during a movie.

People who ask for a certain size "drink" then stare blankly when I don't do anything.

People who say "Wow hard at work" when I'm standing there waiting to rip tickets.

When buying tickets, people who don't say the name of the movie correctly and want me to figure out what the hell they are talking about.

People who flood the bathroom when they use a broken sink. This instance occured when the drain pipe was cracked so I shut off the water to the sink at the wall. Mind you there are 3 other sinks in the bathroom but instead someone went through the effort of turning the water back on again and then use the broken sink.

People who ask for a large popcorn drenched in butter and a diet coke.

People who dont' shut off cell phones in a movie.

Junior high kids who insist on talking and running around while a movie is playing.

People who try to trick me into getting a free movie because they think I'm dumb. When infact I probably am much smarter than they are.

People who watch and entire movie, then complain because the sound was too low/high, temperature was too hot/cold, talking kids, or picture was messed up. Then they get a free movie for their trouble.

People who bring in old large cups/bags for refills and act like they are being rebelous and really getting the best of me. Mean while I know right off what they are doing but I just don't care.

I think thats it for now. I'm tired and I can't think of any more although there are MANY more.
