People are becoming worse about using phones in the movie theatre

Went to see The Lion King with my family at the beach last Thursday. It was the premiere, and it was at the beach, so it was crowded. There were so many people openly using their phones during the movie. One young lady sitting in front of my niece was holding her phone up high while she texted and used Snapchat. She did not even care that she was shining light right into my nieces eyes as my niece tried to watch the movie.
It’s just frustrating to see the open lack of respect that people have for others. If you are desperate to use your phone that much, don’t go to the movies.

Did you say anything?

I always enjoy waiting for an hour in the doctor’s office and listening to people get a text every minute - and hearing their phone conversations on speaker

like talking in line at the grocery store. 20 years ago anyone who did it was an a-hole, now it's "why do you care"?

It's why you don't go to theatres. Just like ballgames. Watch it on TV.

Could have just ended your statement right here and you would still have been correct.

At the beach? Was this an outdoor experience?

I haven’t been to a movie theatre since cell phones became a thing

Why anybody would pay to see a movie in a theatre escapes me.

People are becoming worse about using their phone in general. It's becoming a major pet peeve of mine.
I've made it a habit of leaving it across or in another room while visiting my family. It's too easy to waste quality time with family on my phone reading what you dumb asses have to say. It's a tough habit to break though.
I don't hide the fact that I attend AA meetings. I've figured out that I have to leave the phone in the car or I'll spend too much of that valuable hour on the phone if I don't, especially when some part of what's being said doesn't apply to me. If it's in my pocket, I feel it going off and my mind become instantly focuses on who or what is going on with my phone and I stop being engaged in meeting content. It's a problem.

We use to have to hide our narcissism now we as a society just show it at every corner.

Which is why I only go watch movies at the Alamo Drafthouse. They don't put up with that shite.

I politely say something when it happens.

I have used a cell phone jammer for several year now and this is why i do it.
No one knows i have it and i turn it on in settings like that. It’s about the side of Walkie talkie
Some people get antsy and look like they freak out which makes me laugh and others just decide they are gonna just watch the movie. Which is exactly what should happen.
