So what are they, folks?
Myself:
A huge load of commercials before the feature presentation >> No real explanation for this one. They just bug me.
Having to go to the bathroom in the middle of the movie. >> This one hasn't happened to me in a long while but when it did, it annoyed me. I hate missing parts of a movie.
baby crying / loud kids and loud, obnoxious people >> I had a hard time deciding whether to put these two in two separate options or one because sometimes, it's hard to tell the difference between these two. :dry: (not saying crying babies and loud kids are obnoxious but rather the other way around)
Sitting in front of people taller than you or wearing hats, thus partially or even fully blocking your view. >> Need I say more? Nothing against tall people but would it kill people to take their hats off for 2 hours?
People behind you who keep kicking the back of your seat (intentionally or unintentionally). >> This is an inconsiderate one, imo. Inconsiderate mostly to the one sitting in the chair being kicked. I have no desire to waste time and bug other people to turn around to some movie hall soccer fan to tell him/her to "please stop kicking the seat" but I must nonetheless. Hey, maybe the person really needs to go to the bathroom but is trying to hold it in to not miss the flick. Okay, but try not to kick my seat, eh?
overpriced snacks >> It's a peeve but I still go for them. :( So tasty....
Those Coca-Cola-sponsored "quizzes" that ask questions with obvious answers but are only there to show off the thirst-inducing beverage images that are shown with the questions merely to get you to run off to get some snacks before the movie starts.... >> This doesn't affect me. Probably because I already buy a drink before I enter the hall. But it still gets to me that they'd try such tricks on the public. Ha...gotta love reality.
