Kids at the Movies

Last Friday night, my wife and I went to the theatre
around the corner to go see Stuck on
You. We wanted to go to the earlier showing at 4:20, but spent a little too much
time on our Xmas shopping, so we went to the showing later in the evening. What a
mistake that was.

Friday nights at the movies can be a painful experience, depending on the movie you
plan on seeing. The theatre was busy, which was expected. We got our popcorn and soda, and then went in to find a seat. The previews had
already started, and there were a lot of people already seated. The spot we chose was less
than ideal, but we had little choice. It was in the third row. The row in front of
us was normal, while the row in front of that had spots reserved for people in wheelchairs.

A group of kids was seated in the row in front of us, with a few more in the row in front of that. No wheelchairs.

The kids were being fairly noisy during the previews,which is often expected. My wife pointed out how obnoxious they were being, but I said
they would probably shut up when the movie started. I was wrong.

Now, when I was a kid, I am sure I talked a bit during
movies. However, I was always there to watch the damn movie, so I would pay attention. I don't think these little shits cared what they were there to see.

As you have probably guess by now, no, they did not shut up. The kid in front of, a little shit wearing a red hat that was turned sort of
sideways(I hate that look) was very loud, as was one of his friends seated off to the left, who I would recognize later cause his hair was a little spiky all over. There were a lot of kids in this group. I would say there were about 12 of them, maybe more.

About 10 minutes after the movie started, I leaned forward and said "hey kids, shut up". I didn't say what I really wanted to say. Well, I
know they heard me, cause a few of them looked back at me, but they continued. I could tell they were making a mess of their refreshments, and they were making a lot of loud comments at the movie itself.

Also, for some reason, they kept changing seats, or getting up to go out of the theatre and then coming back in.

A little while later, after my anger levels increased, I asked my wife if she wanted me to get the kids kicked out. I said it in a loud enough voice so that they would hear me. Yes, several looked back. She shook her head, and we continued to watch and try to enjoy the movie.

By now, I was getting too distracted to enjoy it.

The kids did not let up. By now, I was ready to reach out for the kid with the stupid hat and a few of his little friends and wrap them
around the guard rail in front of them. They got real loud, and I kicked the seat in front of me a few times, leaned forward closer, and said the shut up thing again. By now, spiky headed cocksucker was paying a lot of attention to me, even more attention after I mentioned getting them thrown out. He and a few of his smaller friends kept a close eye on me.

Now, I don't mind when people laugh during a movie. That is what is supposed to happen, and no one laughs more than me. But this was not
laughing at funny parts in a movie. This was constant talking, giggling, commenting at the movie, etc. So, I quietly spoke
to my wife, and it was not about the little fucks in front of us. I forgot what it was about, but that does not matter.

The spiky little ass looked back at me and in a loud voice told me to keep it down.

So, I smiled at him, stood up, and walked out. I expected to be heckled as I walked around and in front of them, but there was silence.
One thing I want to mention is the mess. I have seen some filthy messes in movie theatres, but there were piles of popcorn around them. I walked out, and I found one of their employees and asked if I could speak to a manager. He asked what was going on, and I told him what theatre it was and what the kids were doing. Apparently, someone had beaten me to to it and had already complained. As we walked toward the the theatre door,5 kids walked out, including spiky headed little dick. They then had the nerve to complain about me because I told
them to shut up twice. HAHAHAHAHAHA!

They were told to keep it down or else, the usual bullshit. I wanted them thrown out, but I was willing to give them a chance if they kept
it down. As I walked back in, spiky head dipshit held out his hand and said "hey, nohard feelings". I shook it lightly and said "yeah". Oh how I wanted to squeeze.

They could have been quieter through the rest of themovie, but they were nowhere near as loud as they were before. One of the kids got up
and came back with popcorn and a soda. I wanted to tap him on the shoulder and tell him
that he would not have needed to spend more of his parents money if they hadn't left
the rest of their popcorn on the floor. As he walked back, I heard this: "Man, that guy is an ass, he asked me if we were being quiet and that they have already thrown 5 kids out of the theatre".

Heheheheh.

As we all walked out of the theatre, I heard comments from people on the mess they left. They were all grouped outside the door, and I
was actually waiting for something to be thrown at me. Unfortunately, they didn't try
anything. Damn.

My wife told me that when I left during the movie, the kids started panicking. Comments like "oh shit, we gotta get out of here before we are
thrown out". A lady with her 2 kids in our row was constantly telling them to shut up.

I have thought a lot about this over the last few days. In May, I will become a parent(may God have mercy on us all).

Kids can be stupid, that will never change. I have learned that their is very little in this world that is dumber than teenagers in groups at
the mall. But these kids were in a public place where there is a certain etiquette that needs to be followed, and they were breaking all the established rules. You learn from a young age that in movies, you are supposed to be quiet. Did their parents not teach
them that? Are parents these days as lazy as I think they are?

I wanted these kids to be thrown out of the theatre. They needed to be shown that when you do something wrong, like act like an ass when you
aren't supposed to, that there are consequences. One of which is the humiliation of being thrown out of a movie theatre. I mean, how stupid is that?

Oh... almost forgot. The movie was ok.
