You stay home if you can't adhere to the rules of the establishment you enter and others pay for.
Agreed. It's also the reason that the argument of "well getting up to go to the lobby to take a call is just as big of a distraction" doesn't fly. The fact you acknowledge that it's rude to take a call or text in a theater despite being asked not to by the establishment, makes it the lesser of two evils and palatable.
That is just flat out a lack of understanding of the issue at hand. No way around it
You can text at home all you want, girl.
What is it to you what they do? Stop worrying about other people tbh.
Ive gone to Spurs/UTSA were people appear to be there to drink instead of watching the game.
What an epic burn. I may never recover, tbh.
This is an easy argument. If you text in a theater and someone complains, you will be ejected, not the person who complained. You will then end up in a hilarious Alamo Drafthouse promo when you think your logic will fly.
That's not a movie theater.
Are you really this stupid?
Fkla trolling now
Firstly, that implies there are times you want to watch a film without peace and quiet. Why?
Secondly, just because peace and quiet isn't important to you when you watch a film, why the need to with everyone else's?
She specifically mentioned the fact that it bothers her when people don't focus on what they payed for dummy.
As long as they keep quiet why give a whether they get their money s worth ?
No .Fkla trolling now
"I've been to spurs games where people yell out loud right in the middle of the game!"
Golly!
I'm not saying its wrong or right, I'm saying its just the time we live in. I'm not gonna be a -bag and get all worked up because someone is texting. Its never bothered me at all.
Turn off your phome. It's easy.
It took you 6 pages to finally change your stance about other annoying things in movies theaters besides text. At first you had no opinion about people snacking loudly because "it's always been there". Now on page 6 you say it's not OK to do that. I'm glad you realized the hypocritical error of your ways.
Nope. I never advocated loud anything. Neither have theater owners.
I hope you realized you need to turn your phone off.
If I get ejected Ill leave. Thankfully in my experiences most people don't have a stick stuck up their ass like y'all do. Have never got a complaint or witnessed anybody complain about the horrible 'glow'.
Do it at the drafthouse, Madonna.
That's fine that it doesn't bother you. I get that. The fact is, it bothers enough people that the theaters felt the need to make rules and express their views loudly that texting/talking is not ok. So despite the fact everyone has a phone and is very connected, everyone knows before going in and especially after they are in, that talking/texting is not ok.
It may not bother you or even a lot of others, but it does bother enough people for it to be an issue and that should be enough.
I could get if someone was saying that you watching porn in your own home bothered them morally and you having an issue with that. But this is different. You are in a private business with rules and not only that, even if there were not rules, if enough people took issue with something, common decency dictates that you should not do those things. It's like if you are having a serious conversation with someone and they start texting during your conversation. It's not that you can't continue talking, but it's just considered rude and shows a lack of consideration of others feelings.
We've asked you repeatedly how you felt about people eating their food or drinking loudly. You didn't object to it at all and you said, "it's always been there". Go to page 2 If you forgot what you typed.
Texting isn't loud.
I have seen people do exactly that.
My money, too, and I paid it to watch a film.
So you're just being an asshole because it's more convenient for you than not being an asshole and you don't care if everyone thinks you're an asshole. Got it.
I'll stop worrying about what other people are doing as soon as they stop insisting upon doing it while in a darkened, enclosed room with me.
If you don't have the self control to be witbout a phone for two hours, you're doing life wrong.
I know right. He's all over the damn place.
Going to the Cinema is an experience, people laughing, kids yelling, annoying teens walking up and down the aisles, it is what it is.
Like I said before, I don't see it as right or wrong, its never bothered me so that's just my opinion.
