There were cinema staff actually approaching people sitting in the screen tonight (before the film started) and asking them if they wanted to order ice cream or Costa coffee. 8O

I could have used that shoe to hit the person with their legs over me and halfway into my seat. I need my space.

The worst was when this man actually lifted the armrest once at Greenwich because it was in his way. I was like WTF?????? Could you not do the one on your friend's side? :angry: And the entire time he sat so comfy snuggling up next to me. Urghhhhhhhhhhh. I don't do that shit.

He shouldn't have been at the cinema then. :angry: And he could have lifted the one on his friends side. Why did it have to be my one?
