Open Letter to Movie Texters

December 7, 2014


Dear Movie Texters:

Please turn off your cellular device while the movie is playing! There is a reason why they have signs placed around the theatre and a commercial before the movie clearly stating to put the phone away. You are the people who ruin this experience for everyone. Not only are you distracting others away from the movie, you are being flat out selfish.

The brightness of your phone overpowers the movie screen. It's like I have a constantly glare on the corners of my eyes. I feel like I need protective glasses to avoid the lighting in a dark room.

The click-clacking of your fingers rapidly gliding across the screen to each letter is an extreme annoyance. I get very agitated after the first couple of seconds.  If it's that important texting your friends or family members take your cell phone outside away from the people who are actually paying attention.

The laugher and comments when you receive a call is obnoxious and rude. If the call is not important then wait until after. If it's that important take your cell phone outside away from the people who are actually paying attention.

I can't stress it enough, every time I go to the movies I always see at least three people around me texting. I don't think that constant chirping every time you receive a text message is a bird flying around the theatre. Is this a new trend?

People pay good money to go out and watch an enjoyable movie. If you're not interested in the movie it doesn't mean others aren't. Texting can wait, it's not going anywhere. So please people the next time you text just think about others before yourself.


Sincerely,


An Angry Person
