Message to Theater owners — Page 2

I would love to join this coalition as well...Some patrons really just piss me off.

Latecomers & talkers are ones that drive me up a wall

Next time, I am taking Jordan with us.Recently in a movie theater the woman in back of me was talking on her cell constantly. Finally I turned around & asked her if she wanted me to ask the projectionist to mute the sound so it did not interfere with her conversation. That shut her up until about 20 minutes before the end. She started up again where upon I said "The bitch with the phone is at it again". I got a smattering of applause from the 20 or so people in the theater. She shut up & at the end of the movie as we were leaving I told her "make sure you don't forget your phone"

I did see Patti with a new coat recently...

I like to tuck 1/2 a Valium or a Xanax inside a jellybean or a Junior Mint, and then just offer it next to any kind I'm seated next to at the theater or on a plane.

It's usually better to make nice to the parents first, so you don't get blocked by that whole "never take candy from a stranger thing."

It also works tucked inside a suppository when you go home with the wrong trick. Only it's better to use 2 Ambiens instead of 1/2 a Valium. The minute he starts yawning, you just say, "Oh well, I guess you're too tired. Why don't we take a rain check?"

It's the worst when you can't do anything about it.

I went to see Uncle Vanya w/ Cate Blanchett at Sydney Theatre Company on New Year's Eve. And there was obviously some poor old Lady with arthritis who was in serious pain and couldn't move in her seat (or something like that). And who I assumed was her daughter kept having to walk/squeeze back and forth down the row to seek help from the usher and bring things for her mother (they were in the centre and theres only two roles on both sides of this auditorium).

Very disrupting, made more awful by the fact that I couldn't really say anything to her. I mean she could have waited for a break in between scenes?

^LOL. I like those.
