We’ve all had it happen – you’ll be settling in for the movie when some clown sits behind you and puts his feet on your chair, or talks loudly to her friends sitting two aisles away, or starts taking off their trenchcooat. So, I’m dedicating this weeks podium to my all time top three favourite movie going jack-asses.
You don't always get to choose who you sit next to.
3. Woops-I-left-my-phone-on-I’ll-just-take-this-call-real-quick-guy.
We’re seeing less of this cat nowdays, but there are still a few holdouts. If you’re waiting on a call that is too important not to take, maybe you shouldn’t be going to see the movies.
2. Talking-as-deeply-as-I-can-is-kind-of-like-whispering-guy
No, it’s not. It’s the same volume as your usual voice, only deeper. Dickhead.
1. Plastic-bag-full-of-plastic-bags-guy
My kind of jack-ass. The guy who packs some sort of plastic bag full of snacks inside another plastic bag and then spends the entire film rustling about trying to find them. I would have sat next to at least three incarnations of this guy over the years, and each time he has added significantly to my movie going experience.

‘Angry, stupid, hissing, giggling, kids who just came to hang out somewhere in the dark’ need one of those medals I reckon. They really need to suck all the air out of the cinema when they arrive. Adults, bring your own breathing apparatus.
