You see these thickos all the time, I always just hope the previous person with feet on seats has stood in some dog crap, and it covers their clothes!!

She had probably been in the cinema all day - paying for one film and sneaking into other screens afterwards. It cheapens the experience of course, so if the experience is cheapened for her - why wouldn't she spend it on her phone?

maybe so but for 1 hour and a half people should be able to cope without a mobile phone,

what you described i guess can be easily done re cheapening the experience, maybe its something the cinemas should look at from happening

If you hate mobile phones so much take a signal blocker with you.

Where can you get signal blockers from?
There is a t****r at work who I am sure sends texts to himself,and I would love to stop his gallop!
Asking him politely to put his phone on silent does'nt work as he is a thick skinned knobnuts!

Went to see a film last night at cineworld and a girl (a late teen/early twenties) sat next to me and sat down and took her flipping shoes off and put her feet on the seat. What annoyed me was the fact her bloody blackberry must have been attached to her hand as she just couldnt put it down when the film was showing.

If [STRIKE]your[/STRIKE] you're going to pay to see a film [STRIKE]your[/STRIKE] you're going to wnat to see it rather than text on her phone throughout the film. I accept people can pay to see a film and choose whether to watch it but if [STRIKE]your[/STRIKE] you're going to do that then why not rent the dvd and watch at home?

And another thing why put your feet on the seat, do people have some kind common sense gene that's missing from the blood line.

Some of you may disagree which is fine.

I would have discreetly whispered in her ear the sweet words "might I suck your toes, my fair maiden?"

Works every time.

I'm another one who puts her feet up, sorry. Not if anyone is sitting within several seats in that row though, and you aren't putting your feet where people sit so I don't see a problem. You'd need legs about 5feet long to reach right round to the seats! I kind of squish my feet in to the gap at the back where the armrests are - more inbetween the seats - and no, my feet don't stick right through to where people put their arms.

I do this too- I find the seats really uncomfortable so rest my socked feet on the back or on the back part of the armrest, never anywhere where anyone would actually sit, and never if there is anyone in front of me or even to the sides (not a problem as I always go when it isn't so busy).


As for the pic 'n' mix, I urge everyone to not touch that stuff! For years I worked in a place that sold it and we were constantly picking out dead wasps and flies and customers were always using their hands. One time I saw a little boy with his hand down his shorts run up to them, take his hand out of his shorts and proceed to just rub them all over the sweets, it was gross. We would never have been allowed to just empty it or anything though as there is no profit in sweets being thrown away.

Mobile phones are a major annoyance for me. Just the other week I was at a lovely intimate gig in a church in London, everyone sat in pews facing the stage, and during the support acts all I could see if I turned my head sideways were rows of people texting and tweeting. How sad for the band on stage who could clearly see them all!

Back to cinemas though, probably the worst experience I had was with French daytrippers sat behind me translating the film line by line into French for their classmates who did not speak English very well- extremely annoying!

In the old days of silent movies, cinema theatres were right old noisy places, apparently. People would gas and gossip throughout the whole film (perhaps understandably). Nowadays it's not too much to ask surely, for a bit of peace and quiet when you're watching something that, quite frankly, you've probably paid about a billion pounds to see.

I told a gaggle of teenagers off for talking once. I booted the back of their seats, and said 'Oi! Shut it!' fairly loudly in a vain hope to stop them squeaking and sniggering. If I'd have looked more closely I'd have probably seen one of the lads with his nob in a bag of pic 'n' mix. It happens.

I'm sure that never happens.

Someone would have mentioned it if it did.
