The Rudest Things You Can Do At The Movie Theater
HuffPost
From leaving trash behind to talking (and singing) during the film, these common faux pas ruin the moviegoing experience.
With the rise of streaming, many people opt to enjoy new movies from the comfort of home. But there’s still something magical about going to the movie theater, ordering some buttery popcorn and taking in a film as a shared experience with friends and strangers.
That’s why it’s also very important to keep etiquette and respect for your fellow moviegoers in mind when you do venture out to the cinema.
“Seeing a movie at the theater is a public activity, meaning other people’s experiences will be positively or negatively affected by your actions,” Mariah Grumet Humbert, the founder of Old Soul Etiquette, told HuffPost. “It’s important we have a strong awareness and care for others as it pertains to common courtesy at the movie theater.”
With that in mind, we asked Humbert and other etiquette experts to share some common rude behaviors at the movie theater ― as well as their advice for avoiding these faux pas.
