Some of the patrons are even more of a problem than the theater itself. Little kids race
up and down the aisles, usually in giggling packs. Teenagers try to impress their friends by
talking back to the screen, whistling, and making what they consider to be hilarious noises.
Adults act as if they were at home in their own living rooms and comment loudly on the
ages of the stars or why movies aren't as good anymore. And people of all ages crinkle
candy wrappers, stick gum on their seats, and drop popcorn tubs or cups of crushed ice and
soda on the floor. They also cough and burp, squirm endlessly in their seats, file out for
repeated trips to the rest rooms or concession stand, and elbow you out of the armrest on
either side of your seat
