How to Know if You Are an Asshole

[missmacabre]

I put my feet up on the seats, but either on the back of the seat or so that my feet are over the seat and not touching where someone else will be sitting.

What I hate even more is when parents want to see a movie so they bring their 7 year old kid to an 18A movie. Then spend the whole time telling the kid to close his eyes, or blab on about how they will never take them to see a movie again because they had to spend the whole time taking care of the kid. That's right ruin my movie by complaining about how you chose to bring your child and in turn ruin your movie AND you kid doesn't even get to enjoy it. We all lose.

the seat isnt always going to be empty - the next person to sit there will have their head where the dirty fucking soes were.

it wouldnt be acceptable behavior in your home on your furniture .. it's not acceptable in a theatre.

Think it through, if there is nobody sitting next to said feet, the part of the body resting on the seat would be the backs of the ankles and NOT the bottom of said shoe.

i forgot that one ..


bringing kids to age inappropriate shows - then they scream because they are scared. or crying babies.

Exactly. I went to see Matrix Reloaded on opening night and a guy dressed as Neo told me to get my feet off the seats. :eek:

i see it every time i go to the show .. the soles of the shoes are on the back of the seat where your head or neck rests - depending on how tall or short you are oryour posture in the chair.

this is no debate ... its common fact

[_____V_____]

I was watching X-Men 2 in the theater awhile back, and because I m good friends with the owner, he got me the front row corner seat in the top box.

The movie started and I was feeling good about sitting in the best seat of the house watching a kickass flick, when this guy comes in (about 20 minutes into the flick) and crosses right in front of me to sit 4-5 seats away in the same front row.

About 5 minutes later, his mobile rings.

Muttering something about always getting disturbed, he moves out (again from right in front) to talk into his cell.

He comes back 4-5 minutes later, CROSSES AGAIN, and sits.

(I glare at him, and say nothing. He doesn't notice me.)

His cell rings again, LOUDLY, and he hastily walks out by CROSSING IN FRONT OF ME AGAIN.

(Peeking from the corner of his eyes at me, who is glaring back with flaring nostrils)

About 5 mins later, he is back, AGAIN CROSSING ME IN FRONT.

(I mutter something loud enough for him to hear and look back without reply)

And guess what? 15 minutes later, his mobile rings as loudly as bells of a fire brigade.

He gets up, and 4-5 of the people sitting around start yelling at him. As he crosses me, I say "Dont you DARE return back, motherfucker!"

He didnt return.

It's not common fact, if I put my feet on the seat my feet hang over the top of the seat and the back of my ankles rest on the top of the chair.

you are an asshole if :




6) you talk during the movie

I admit to stage whispering instead of regular whispering when I tell my girlfriend not to talk during the movie. Does that count?
