Those two women were just f**king rude. They walked over all the way even though me and c_t were telling them there are no seats available in this row. They then went to your OH making it clear they wanted him to move and then he said, "sorry this seat is taken." The lady responded, "How is it taken?" WTF? She then had a strop because she said it's unfair the seat is kept when the person is in the toilet. Actually you stupid little bitch, Beate was sitting first and then decided to go to the screening. If she went to the toilet during the screening, not only would it be irritating, she'd still come back to sit there anyway or were you planning to move to that seat during that period? Really irritated me (and c_t ) especially considering how lovely Beate's OH is. Glad they got some shit seats elsewhere. :twisted:
Actually, the two women may be deaf as well as pig ignorant and rude. I told my aunty and mum about this and they said that they had already told those two women there was no point going down there, as there was only one free seat. Although the younger woman was reluctant to go, the older woman said to the younger one 'if there's no one there, we can sit there' and pushed her towards Beate and OH.

Thanks. I was worried it might have been Tyrells or Kettle. I feel much better now... unless there were worcestershire sauce :shifty:.

I am so excited that Everyman have appeared on the free preview list for this film, along with Picturehouse. As I'm also lucky enough to have the day off, this means I can actually see a free preview at my nearest cinema (within walking distance, even, unlike Crawley and Croydon). The last public preview Everyman did was in February 2009 (!), so I do hope they are now going to make up for lost time.

How awful! These two obviously don't get out enough. This must have been their first outing in a long time, that's why they have no social manners and are completely oblivious to cinema etiquette.

That happened to me at the Flying Monsters screening at IMAX. When I got back from the loo, a woman was sitting in my seat, when I complained, and said I had just gone to the loo, she said I was not there! :blink: She had actually removed my jacket to sit there! :wall:
