What are your Movie/TV viewing pet peeves?

Inspired by my roommate. I just started Mad Men on Netflix last week. Watching an episode right now (roommate has never seen the show) and every 2 minutes there's a question or comment from the peanut gallery and it's driving me bananas.
Other pet peeves:
-Being at a movie theater with no one in the row in front of you, and someone comes and sits in the seat right in front of you, preventing you from putting your feet up.
-Cell phones in movie theaters (goes without saying).
-Commercials being way louder than the show you're watching.

I absolutely HATE it when the person (usually my gf or friend - my roommate last year was the worst at this) I'm watching a blu ray at home with asks "Wait, what's going on?" "What just happened? I don't get it."
I usually ignore said question/statement. It's not my job to explain to them a movie, especially when it's my first time seeing it as well.

Small subtitles in white in foreign movies or ones that disappear mid-sentence.

someone that's been doodling on their phone a lot of the time all of the sudden has a question about a major plot point they missed, or by the end of it they're all like "um...this movie sucks" even though they're pretty lost as to what's going on.

In theater:
1) People who talk, even during the previews
2) People who use their cell phones, even for texting
3) People who are obnoxiously loud eaters
4) People who kick your chairback
5) When the volume is not right, almost always too loud
6) When all the lights in the theater are not dimmed enough
7) People who make frequent trips to the bathroom and concessions stand
8) When during the middle of a film, someone who obviously has just come in from another film sneaks in and sits down
9) Employees who enter about ten minutes before the end of the film and stand off to the side, but completely visible
10) People at the ticket counter who don't know which movie they want to see and stand looking up to see what they want, holding the line up. Couldn't they have looked at the sign while they were standing in the middle of the line and not in the front?

I hate when I'm watching movie with someone and at the start of the movie they are like "Who is that?" "What was that?" ect. Shut up and watch the damn movie and find out.

On an opposite note of that, when I'm watching a movie for the first time with someone who has seen it before and they try and explain the movie to me as we go. Like "did you get that" "make sure you pay attention here, this is important" "that means..." STFU and stop talking to me.

A way that I've found to counteract all the annoyances of people is to view a movie I really really care about alone in my home or in the theater. On movies I don't care a lick about or movies I've seen before I'll happily watch them with other people.

I already hated the crowd at my midnight showing of HP7 part 2, but when people started getting up to go piss during the last hour I thought I was gonna have to choke a bitch. The snape scene was probably the best scene in all 8 movies and people were getting up for popcorn and shite.
