Was at the movies last night with the wife, the couple behind us was persistently talking/ laughing at stuff that was definitely not the movie

Especially noticeable in quiet parts.

The wife whispered to me how annoying it was

So I’m like (not yelling but definitely raised voice)

CAN yall keep it down??


Was I wrong?


By the way, this actually worked

Go and ask the guy working concessions. He will come in and turn the volume up on the movie. If they’re still talking, then go and ask the guy to turn the volume down to zero. That way they’ll realize they need to whisper. Then get him to come and turn it back to normal. Works every time!

The proper response is a couple solid crop dustings.

Stand up, turn around, and say something to this effect:

Shut your traps and stop kicking the seats! We're trying to watch the movie! And if I have to tell you again, we're gonna take it outside and I'm gonna show you what it's like! You understand me? Now, shut your mouths or I'll shut 'em for ya, and if you think I'm kidding, just try me. Try me. Because I would love it!

I might be inclined to turn around and ask them why don’t they tell the whole room what they’re talking about…

Sounds like you handled it properly if it worked without incident.

People need to stop worrying if they offend someone.
