We've only been warned once, though, and that was during a screening of 9 1/2 weeks, but really, could you blame us for laughing hysterically through most of the movie?

Are you being serious? I hope not.

I'm ashamed to say it, but yes. I've since gone to movies with others who don't like me talking at them during the film (which was off putting at first) as a result, I'm trying to behave.

Nothing new here:

Talkers (especially that bunch o' teens who just snuck in 15 minutes into the film) are terrible. I really don't mind folks shouting at the screen appropriately (e.g. "Don't go down there, you fool!") but when they're talking to their date it can get annoying.

Call me insensitive but also crying babies. I can tolerate it most times but sometimes it can be pretty annoying - especially if it breaks the mood of an engaging scene.

Cellphones - What's worse is when someone actually carries on a conversation in the theater. Yeah I've seen it happen.

The guy drinking in the back row who kicks over a beer bottle every 10 minutes.

The fella who decides to lean his feet on the back of my chair. I'm not too shy turn around and say "Cut it out!"

The person who spilled their soda on the floor during the last screening.

When, out of the corner of your eye, you notice that the stranger beside you is picking their nose.

The really, really, really tall person who sits right in front of you.

I work in a theater and its getting so I dont even like going out of my house to watch a movie. It seems people are getting worse and worse. I hate the whole idea of cell phones. its very distratcing when they even open the damn thing. Hate the lights from it and find it very distracting. Or kids who bring there Game Boy.. YIKES go to the frackin lobby and play it kid! I better stop here or I will go on and on. Oh and yes I have caught people humping there to. Thats not so bad as long as there are not any kiddies around. One night I had a couple alone in there after the movie going at it. Wish they would have asked me to join..

The guy at the end of the aisle wearing a trenchcoat and using the old-popcorn-bucket-with-a-hole-in-it trick to secretly masturbate.

Having my wife's wallet stolen out of her purse by the idiots that insisted on sitting directly behind us in an empty theater.

People who bring small children to late-night shows (after 9 pm), let them wander the aisles, get lost and cause the manager to have to shut down the projector to reunite the child with the parents who didn't even know he was missing.

All 3 have happened to me in the last 5 years.
