I went to see a movie last night and I was reminded of why I don't go see many movies anymore.
For whatever reason, there seems to be a complete lack of etiquette in the movie theaters. Just for those who don't know here is a list of things not to do in a movie theater.
1. Don't talk while the movie is playing.
2. Don't talk on the phone or text while the movie is playing
3. DO NOT PUT YOUR FEET OR SHOES ON THE SEAT IN FRONT OF YOU.
4. ESPECIALLY DON'T PUT YOUR SHOES OR FEET OVER THE TOP OF THE SEAT IN FRONT OF YOU.
5. Don't bring small children or babies to a PG or R rated movie.
6. IF you need to get up frequently sit at the end of the aisle
7. If you are going to need to get up and you are overly large sit at the end of the aisle.
This is what I have. IF someone has more to add, please add away.
I have been to movie theaters all over the country and depending on the type of movie that I see and where I see it seems to determine the lack of etiquette of the customers. My experience with Arkansas, particularly Fort Smith, is fairly good in comparison.
The one thing that I have noticed in Fort Smith and Arkansas in General is that people seem to think the movie theater is like their home and they put their feet on the back of seats in front of them, thereby making a part of the seat in front of them whatever nasty crap they had on their shoes when they came into the theater. The worst is the person who puts their shoes on top of the chair in front of them.
Last night I saw this moron who put his feet over the top of the seat in front of him with an old lady sitting in the seat right next to his shoe. I am sure that all night she had to look at his nasty shoe out of the corner of her eye. This is rude. I was sitting about 8 rows up so I did not say anything, but I can't believe no one else said anything. I guess they were too nice to put this moron in his place.
Location: I currently exist only in a state of mind. one too complex for geographic location.

You need to chill out. Trust me, I don't think society all of a sudden started acting rude in movie theaters. I was waiting for you to blame Obama for it!

No. It is not all of the sudden. It has been going on for a while. I am not blaming a political party or a person for the loss of civility. I was simply making an observation. What does Obama have to do with it?

^ I have my own home theater system so I don't go to movie theaters. The rude people are usually poor people on welfare who are probably Obama supporters
