I recently dished out some of that customer Sh ite myself. I rushed in to watch youth in revolt after mis-managed time and ended up just catching the last film trailer. I decided a quick dash to the toilets was needed.

5 Mins later

Come to get back in the screen and the bloke who had ripped my ticket 5 minute earlier asked for my ticket. Idiot here had left it in his jacket pocket. Explained to guy who then ranted at me about carrying it with me as it is a reciept and people like me make his job a nightmare. He then followed me to my seat and made me produce the ticket whilst blocking the film for the people in the row behind me.

After the film I handed him my ticket and asked if was ok for me to leave the building without my ticket. Turns out it was.

Moral of the story alway carry your tickets.

I usually do. Just in a rush I left my ticket at my seat. Sometimes a little benefit of the doubt goes along way with customer relations.

I must admit, I don't believe I have had a truly bad cinema experience, but just a few that started off a bit rough: I've been sat next to hecklers and people that want to chat all the way through the film. Of course, the hecklers left halfway through the film (why pay for a ticket then!? Too much time on their hands...) and I did end up telling the chatterbox to shut it - I go to the cinema for the film and not the people in the room.

I have read the first page of this thread, and I must admit, some of the experiences other users have had are much worse than mine - definitely Projectionist's with the horny couple at 2 in the afternoon... much respect to you for showing that chav who is boss though - so I'm starting to think: am I due a bad cinema experience soon?

I had a pretty guff one in America, Dad and I went to see The Core not only was the film a pile of c0ck but some pleb kept opening the door, said pleb kept shouting to his mates and then he proceded to start throwing popcorn and the likes around. It ended well though, he didnt see me and Pa sat at the back, some poor aimed Hard Gums came our way...well, my Dad is a f*cking big bloke, and the hash tones of my south London accent sent the little scrotes packing, despite the funny end to the day it was still a pretty sh!te experience at the cinema.

Good man, I have now found a fondness for American Hard Gums and shall have to add them to my pic n mix in the future, just in case I encounter any scrotes.

I didn't know I had the Noro Virus, the stuff you get on cruiseships, and I've never been on a cruiseship. I went to see the movie Alexander and during the Indian battle scene I started hyperventilating and feeling pukey. I almost passed out and was rushed to the ER. I was so out of it I couldn't remember my name. The first doctor said I had a panic attack, brought on by Oliver Stone but the second doctor discovered that I had the virus and 4 weeks later when I healed up, I went back to see Alexander again. This time I sat through it without getting sick, not that I didn't doze off a few times though. I laughed a bit too at the unintentionally funny parts (mainly Colin with the eyeliner and the blonde surfer curls )

I am generally pretty filled with fury over most cinemagoers. It's the ticket-purchasing that bothers me. Earlier today, I was going to see Scott Pilgrim, when the four people in front of me appeared to take twenty minutes to get their tickets. They waited until they got to the front of the queue to strike up their gormless faces and go "So what are we seeing?". Unbelievable, after they finally decided to pick a film and stick with it, they then all paid separately, most by card therefore taking far longer than necessary. So finally I get to the till.

Scott Pilgrim is now sold out. Motherfu-


To those wondering how it could have sold out, I was purchasing my ticket on a different level, so punters were buying tickets at differing locations.

The mong that sat behind me during 'Inception' and complained to his mate that the film was 'pish' every 10 minutes because he had the attention span of a thick goldfish and cant follow anything without using his finger.
