How to Have Movie Etiquette

Do you ever get annoyed at the loud chatter, constant fidgeting or pushy queues at the counter when you go to the movies? This article will show you how you can have "movie etiquette".

Steps

1. Don't push or bump into people while waiting in the queue. Have your money ready so you can pay quickly and don't queue-jump. If you are bumped into, don't be rude. Just be polite.

2. Buy your snacks before the film starts. Do this so you won't disturb people by getting out of your seat all the time when the lights go down. Remember to switch your mobile off - out of respect for other movie-goers, most movie theatres have reminders to turn your phone off or at least set it to silent ring or vibrate only.

3. Keep talking to a minimum during the film. Laughter is a sign of appreciation for a comedy film - but constant arguing or overly enthusiastic laughter isn't always appreciated.

4. Do not text message or take a screenshot. Though turning off your mobile has been mentioned, some people do need to stay connected, and setting the phone to silent or vibe is a good option if you must remain available (you have a relative in hospital, or own a business, etc). Taking a quick look at a text message is distracting to others around you, but responding to it is rude. The light is very bright to those around you, so go out to the lobby or hall to reply. And taking screenshots should be right out anyhow - this is a copyright violation.

5. Keep your children under control. If you have small children with you, don't allow running around the theatre or making too much noise during the movie. Nothing is worse than a parent who refuses to quiet his or her children - the rest of the audience does not appreciate paying good money only to have your little "darlings" ruin the experience. If you cannot afford a babysitter, consider renting movies and watching at home.

6. Try not to move from your seat too much. Getting up once or twice is okay but always fidgeting around or changing seat mid-film can disturb people around you. Putting your feet up on the seat infront also isn't appreciated much.

7. Avoid making a mess. Do your best not to spill drinks over the seats or drop too much food on the floor. Leaving your chewing gum under the seat is also not a good thing to do.

8. Clean up after yourself. Know that when you exit the theatre, you should take all trash you accumulated with you and dump in the waste containers as you leave.
