I don't like it when people put their feet up on the chairs next to my head, especially when they take their shoes off. When I say next to my head, I'm not saying "right" next to it or one seat over, but it's usually 2-3 seats over, and it bothers me. I think it's gross, especially if I'm eating popcorn.

I hate when people take their shoes off period. I tripped on some girl's shoes that she left on the floor while I was trying to get to my seat once and almost knocked the guy out that was sitting in front of her. Of course, I looked like the jerk.

OMG! YES! I think: "This is not your house and I do not know you!"

It is so disrespectful. I wouldn't even let people I did know do that, so why should a complete stranger feel the need to kick up their feet and let it all out next to my face. My boyfriend takes his shoes off EVERYWHERE including the theater! I have to constantly remind him that he's not a child and this is not his house, be a big boy or wear more comfortable shoes!

What about for people who want to keep their carpet clean. Walking inside someone's house with your shoes on can be disrespectful, especially if it's new carpet.

I'm ok with people taking their shoes off in the house and in other people's houses (I certainly do that) but not at the movie theater. At the movies or in restaurants the only thing I can think when I see it is "GROSS!"

If you're in public and you aren't playing sand volleyball, you should have shoes on your feet.

Plus, people's feet smell bad. This kid took his shoes off next to me at the library one time and I had to move, they smelled so bad....

lol lol I swear this post made me laugh SO freaking hard. Ewwww, that's SO gross!!

I forgot about this one.

I also hate it when people arrive late and find a seat at the other end, but start walking on my end to get to it, especially when it's a group of people. I remember this guy was walking by me with a group of friends, and he fell backwards and rather than holding on to something to break the fall he just sat on my lap. I think I lost half of my popcorn from that.

Has anyone ever had to leave to tell a manager?

Strangers
 
There's nothing worse than strangers trying to get to know you during a movie. You know people who feel like the movie theater is the best place to meet new people. If you go to the theater alone there's always that one stranger that you share a laugh with during the previews that takes that as his/her opening to try to get to know you. Then they want to talk with you like y'all have been bffs since the womb during the whole movie. And you dont want to be rude and say STHU. You dont want to be more rude and move away from the person. So, you either sit there and pray they shut up or pretend to go to the bathroom and then come back and take another seat.

Probably already been said, but I hate people who talk in movies.

Particularly those who have verbal reactions to things or who ask questions to the person sitting next to them about what just happened. I especially don't like it when they're asking me those questions. WE ARE WATCHING THE SAME DAMNED MOVIE PEOPLE, I DON'T HAVE SOME SEPARATE SOURCE OF INFORMATION WHICH IS GOING TO RESULT IN ME HAVING MORE INFORMATION THAN YOU DO ON THIS SUBJECT.

YES. And people who feel the need to give backstory during the movie. I went to Wolverine with a large group of friends and had to suffer through the guy in the row behind us who had to give his wife the life story of every X-Man who popped up on screen.

He must have been wearing some cheap azz shoes. Cheap azz shoes = funky azz feet. Folks buy cheap shoes, and then wonder why their feet go to stinkin' like lukewarm, expired, foul smellin' mayonnaise.:D
