People that manage to spill their popcorn and in the process empty it all over the row in front.

Still if there was a suitable screening to do this in I suppose Project X was it!

Ask Beate. She had one at a screening (before the film started) when she sat next to me. And it smelt gross. Then again I have never liked hot dogs and so don't understand what's so good about it. And she did apologise.

I agree with MG though, when you are hungry and sitting through a 2 hour movie, sometimes hot food is the way to go. I think I'd prefer hot food as the person is less likely to make noise then someone munching on popcorn.

The one thing that really gets to me is when people slurp when drinking. I really do want to strangle them.

When I was in Wimbledon yesterday, I saw people with really long glasses! Can you imagine how long they would take to drink the whole thing (slurp).

Glad I wasn't at Wimbledon then!

I hope they didn't get up to go to the toilet during the screening. That's one of the reasons why I try not to drink during a screening.

Luckily they didn't slurp or go loo.
