Not trying to sound mean, but if he was there with someone, shouldn't they have tried to shush him?

Did you ask politely first? If you did and the noise didn't stop, then you were (sort of) justified. I say "sort of" because calling someone a moron isn't really necessary when a simple, "Hey, shut up!" will suffice. You sound like you're a bit of a jerk, but you still had no way of knowing he was special needs.

Even if he wasn't mentally disabled, you should be more polite before you call someone a moron. YDI

When you complain of someone else spoiling your fun, whether you are in the theater or a restaurant, or even at the mall, you are always the "bad guy." There is no help for this in today's society. When a tall individual sits in front of you at the theater and refuses to remove his or her hat, you can't ask them to do so because it's entirely possible that said hat has religious significance. So, you're stuck. If you feel a bit cheated at having paid a premium for your seat and having your fun spoiled, vote with your money. Leave, ask for refund, and come back another day. You have only those choices: be the "bad guy" and fetch a manager or ask the individual to stop spoiling your fun, or leave, being sure to take your money with you. I've had a hostess seat me in a mostly empty restaurant next to a party of many very drunken, loud, revelers. Request for another seat was denied, what else can you do but leave? Don't pay money to raise your blood pressure and feel bad.

Watching a movie is like watching a big tv someone talking quietly isn't going to disturbed you but the person in another row shushing or saying be quite will. What movie did you go see

There was no way for you to know. People with special needs can't be babied their whole lives, it's detrimental. They are supposed to start being integrated into society when most people go to college (with an aide or such). You're fine, don't sweat it.

Stay safe, kids. Don't insult people.

People who are special like that, shouldn't be allowed in a theater. Just like people shouldn't bring babies or small children who might cry, if an adult has a disability where they can't control themselves, they shouldn't go to the movies.

Even 'special' people can often be taught appropriate behaviour in public places. Whoever took him should have put a stop to it, or made him leave. It makes life a lot easier for those people if they can learn what is and is not considered acceptable behaviour. There is no reason everyone else's movie experience should have been ruined to cater to this one person. If they can't be taught, then perhaps a private showing with a group of similarly disabled people would have been better. That way everyone is happy, and nobody would care how much noise was made. People with screaming babies generally remove them from social situations when they are creating a disturbance, and they can't help it. It's just common courtesy. But having said that, whoever said go get an employee to deal with it was right.

at least you didn't call him a retard.
