A friend and I went to the cinema on Tuesday night. Hadn't seen her for a while so it was an evening out to catch up on gossip. Obviously the cinema is not the 'ideal' place to do this but being Brits we're too polite to ruin a movie for anyone. Honest.
We arrived at an early show (6.40pm) of the movie we wanted to see, Freedomland. When we got into the theatre it was more or less empty apart from maybe 3 other people. We sat in the middle of the back row and as the trailers and commercials were on we had a bit of a natter (as everyone does).
There was a woman sitting on the end of the row infront. Alone. Wearing a large furry hat. She turned around and started shouting at us to shut up. We were quite taken aback as it was only the ads but we quietened down.
The film came on.... it was a 6th sense style 'what's going to be the plot twist?' movie, and at one point roughly 10 mins in, my friend leaned over and whispered a question to me. I whispered back and immediately, the woman in the large furry hat got out of her seat and came and sat directly infront of us. Her large furry hat was then blocking our view of the screen. We were a bit confused by this so we decided to get up and move ourselves, and moved over to the side of the row. The woman then got up and moved infront of us again!
Lisa and I were cracking up at this point so we leaned over and asked the woman if we should call the management or would she leave us alone. She started shouting in a loud voice that she had decided not to watch the film anymore as we'd ruined it for her and that she was going to continue sitting infront of us. Obviously there was no reasoning with her so we got up and moved back to the middle of the row and put our feet on the chairs infront to stop her coming and sitting there and thankfully she quietened down, but not before placing a scarf and a hood on top of her large furry hat!
