Feelings are running high today, the takes will be scorching and rightly so. Everyone is bringing their own baggage and experiences to their analysis of this fucked up situation. With that said, I read Jezebel quite a bit and never saw anything like what you’re describing and if someone did post something like that…

THREE! Like how can they allow that jury to walk away with not guilty? I just...I’m at a loss. And I know the problem is bigger but god damn, how couldn’t three jury members take a stand??

no-mi, why are you doing this? the theatres put up notices before the movie starts not to do this, and YOU KNOW it’s rude. why insist on being rude just to look at your stupid phone? it may sound silly to you, but i’ve lost a lot of respect for you for what you’ve said in this thread. you know you are wrong but you…

I wish I could downvote your post. If you’re not trolling then you’re one selfish motherfucker.

Then ask for a manager next time. Movies cost a shit ton now. I am not going to spend $15 and put up with people being rude.

I’m the same way but if it continues to happen I’ll usually pipe up a polite request for them to stop. My absolute favorite related story was when I took my Mom’s husband, who I find to normally be kind of a rude jerk, to go see a movie for his birthday. Texter reveals themselves in the row in front of us and he…

You can figgity fuck right on off with that bullshit. You should not be allowed in public :)

You’ve lost this one, I’m sorry. Getting up and going to the back of the theater to check your bright ass phone is absolutely the proper thing to do. It’s far less distracting than a glowing screen popping up in the periphery. Literally no one with a shred of common sense is going to be on your side here. Furthermore…

Step 1) “Please put your phone away”

Or, how about you be an adult and adhere to the social contract that we have all agreed to when going to a fucking movie theater. I didnt pay 15 bucks to be distracted by your shit.

I go to Alamo Theaters. I will have you thrown out for talking or texting. It’s a pleasure and the policy of the theater I like to exercise. Whine to them that you’re too special to care about the rest of the theater for your precious texts

It is not unreasonable to expect someone to not look at their phone for 2 hours. In a dark movie theater, the bright screen of a phone is immediately noticeable in your peripheral vision. C’mon you already know this.

No, fuck off, you have no defense. The money you paid to be in the theater isn’t more valuable than the money other people paid to be in that theater. You want phone time, go where the phone booths used to go, outside the fucking theater.

I can guarantee that nothing you will ever do in your life is so important that it can’t wait 90 minutes. If you are in the midst of a crisis you can stay the fuck home.

The theater tells you before the showing that cellphones are distracting and not to ruin the movie for everyone else. 

“If you’re that distracted, don’t go to the movies”

You are a garbage person.

You should have told the usher and then requested a refund.
