Today, I learned that when a man in the row in front of you at a movie theater tells you to shut up, you shouldn't tell him to fuck off. He might be 6'4 with a short temper. FML

Shut up

Today, I was working as a manager of the local movie theater. A six year-old came in with no parents or anyone else. When I asked him where his parents were, he looked at me and said, "Shut up white boy, I don't have to listen to your shit." I just got told by a six year-old. FML

Move!

Today, I was at the cinema. There was a really tall woman in front of me and whenever I leaned to the right or left she would lean to the same side I do. Later, she started laughing. They guy next to her was telling her where I moved. FML

Today, at the cinema, I sat next to a guy who couldn’t stand a minute without laughing or making comments about the film. FML

Today, I was having a rough day, so I decided to go to the movies to unwind. 15 minutes in, some assmunch behind me said "This movie sucks!" then dumped his drink over my head and ran out. FML

Today, I was late to a sold out movie in the theater, so I had to shuffle in during the previews in the dark. I sat down in what I thought was the last vacant seat, but I'd really just sat in a small woman's lap. She was not happy. FML

Today, I went to watch the Movie "UP." At one point in the movie I got really sad and started to cry a bit. The 7 year old girl next to me noticed and told me to shut and man up. FML

Today, I went to the movies with my husband and our 6-year-old son. My husband kept stealing popcorn from the guy next to him, to the point where the guy punched him in the face. The movie was stopped, the police were called, and my son is now inconsolable. FML

Today, I went to a movie with this guy. He was late so the only seats available were the ones in the very front which he refused to sit in. As we were looking for two seats, he spotted one near the back and sat down, leaving me to sit by myself in the front. FML

Today, I went to see my favorite band in concert. Not only did the people next to me have a loud conversation through the entire set, the guy behind me repeatedly tried to lecture me for head-butting him. Given he was a foot taller than me, I'm not even sure how that was possible. FML

Shut up

Today, I was sitting in a theater waiting for the movie to start when a hot guy sat next to me. Trying to impress him, I made seemingly witty comments to my friend throughout the movie. When it ended, he loudly complained to his friends about the 'annoying girl' sitting next to him. FML

You are the worst kind of person, talking through a movie. You monster.

You're lucky to live in US. In Latvia, an incident like that once ended up with a murder. True story!

In the US incidents like that have ended up in murder too. The last one I recall was an off-duty cop shooting someone for telling him to shut up or something, IIR Edit: It was for texting. And the cop was retired.

Reading the comments, it's hardly surprising though, is it? With the number of people who think responding to rudeness with physical violence is okay...

Your next FML post should be, "I learned that I am an ass hat by posting my story to fmylife.com".

Why even go to the movies if you are just going to talk and annoy other people?

Why do people feel the urge to talk all the time? We rarely have anything interesting to say...

Really? You expected a single movie-going person to give you sympathy over that? Even the person you were yakking at was wishing you'd shut the hell up and just watch the movie.

I want to know who the 2000 people who voted fyl are, because they sure aren't commenting! This is 100% YDI! If you're going to talk during a movie, you really can't get offended when someone inevitably tells you to shut up! Nobody paid to hear you talk through the movie, so please do everyone a favor next time and shut up!
