Paul (England): The typical thing that annoys1 people, or annoys me, in the theater is the rustling and crunching2 of different food types, and also the kicking3, whether it's intended or not4, the kicking of the back of your seat5. And also, in some cultures, sniffing6 and coughing7 is accepted, whereas in others8, it isn't. In my culture, it isn't, and therefore9, I find this habit rather irritating10.
Tim
(United States): One of the things that annoys me the most is
when I can hear people chewing11.
So, if people are eating their food and making a lot of noise12 when they chew, it really bothers13 me. And
that also happens outside of the theater, if someone is having dinner with me
and chewing out loud14,
it really bothers me. But it's hard to get
them to stop15, because they usually don't know that they're
doing it.
Sarah
(England): The
most annoying thing16 I find in a movie
theater17 would be when someone has a new bag of popcorn or
a new bag of sweets18
and they open it up halfway through
the film19 and be rustling20 behind21
you. You can always hear that more than the film.
Warren
(Canada): Well, sometimes, teenagers22 can be a
little obnoxious23 in the theaters, I've been hit by24 a few popcorn kernels25 or
two in the past, and that could be quite
annoying26. I think they're just having fun27, pulling pranks28 on some people, but it's
difficult when you're trying to watch a movie.
Lindsay
(United States): The most annoying
thing is when they actually bring their babies or their children. I don't
understand why they're bringing them, especially to a late-night movie29, and then the baby starts to
cry or it gets restless30.
I don't feel bad for31
the baby; I feel bad for the people. And I feel
mad at32 the people; I mean33,
why are they bringing their baby to this movie?
Dani
(England): Me, especially, it's talking33. Or like if
they won't be quiet and you're trying to watch a movie, that really annoys me. Although35 the one
that really annoys my mom, especially, is when they kick the back of your seat.
Always she uses to get36
that one kid who makes that.
