You know you're getting old when you start hating teenagers

I shush them and if that doesn't work I take them out.I wish more parents were this understanding. Too many parents have that attitude like "I have to listen to the kid cry all the time, so you shouldn't be upset about listening to him for a few hours." :rolleyes
Kind of like what Krystian mentioned about the ticket price. I'm sure many parents (with crying kids) think "I paid too much money to leave". So their selfishness ruins the movie for everyone else
Someone needs to put them in their place and tell them to stop going behind the theatre when they get bored and giving random guys blowjobs.I oughta start going to more movies!
I'm not entirely sure what pleasure people get out of kicking the seats of the people in front of them... it's horribly irritating for the kicked!As has been pointed out previously, some people just get their jollies by being an annoying ass wherever they go. Knowing that it irritates you only fuels their childish behavior.
While wanting to confront the troublemakers is all fine and good, it won't change anything. They'll just double their efforts because now they know they're under your skin. I think the only solution is to take this up to the management level. More than complaining, you have to demand your money back or free tickets. Of course, you have to leave whatever film you're watching (I doubt you'd get passes or a refund if you stay for the entire film and then lodge a complaint). It's very apparent that managers only care about one thing: profits. If they continue to lose money because people are being rude and disruptive and people want their money back because they didn't enjoy the movie because of it, I'd think they'd figure out a way to put a clamp on these bozos. Whatever it takes, we have to hit the theater managers in the wallet. That is the only way change is going to happen.

I ended up giving the tickets to a co-worker because I realized there and then that I was fed up with movie theaters altogether.
