Most of us have been there, experiencing others’ disruptive behavior at movie theaters, whether it’s someone whispering too loudly, chewing like there’s no tomorrow or even speaking on their phones. So we’ve got to wonder, what isAn etiquette expert, Jacqueline Whitmore, spoke with PEOPLE magazine and stressed the importance of keeping silent in movie theaters: “One of the biggest distractions is electronics. The light from a cell phone is really, really distracting,” she said.
The polite thing would be to come in early, keep silent, and not make a mess: “Don’t put your feet on the seats in front of you, and arrive before the movie begins,” Whitmore said. “When the movie begins, everybody should be in their seat, situated, quiet, ready to go, and ready to enjoy the movie.”She added that the same rules apply to everyone, including small children. So parents should be cautious when their kids are commenting loudly, being noisy, or trashing.
It would also be a good idea to go see movies at times more suitable for adults, like during school time or late at night when kids are asleep: “I can’t really control what other people do with their kids, but what I can do is control when I go see the movie. And etiquette is all about monitoring your own behavior and how your behavior affects others.”
It is definitely no one else’s duty to look after their kids in movie theaters other than their parents’. And if the kids are bored, maybe they should go see another movie… Or see a movie when they get older, as would have been appropriate in the Redditor u/Kinkaypandaz’s story.Some others thought the man was wrong for yelling
