Today, my friend and I were seeing a movie. We ended up sitting next to a man who was continually laughing, clapping, and bouncing up and down on his seat. Extremely annoyed, we turned to him and told him to "shut the fuck up". Turns out he had downs syndrome and ran out of the theater crying. FML

Why would your first course of action be to tell someone to "shut the **** up"? I agree with #3.

#61 said it best. I even have a developmental disorder that keeps me from running, jumping, or walking long distances. But what, am I supposed to be able to play sports and say "EVERYONE NOT RUN JUMP OR WALK TO MAKE ME FEEL BETTER!"? no! i just avoid those particular things because i can't follow the instructions of the sport properly. if he has down syndrome and cannot follow the rules of the movie theater properly, he should watch it when he is home alone. but YDI OP for yelling at random people in a movie theater. dick.

yea, not your fault, dont feel bad, its kinda like when you hear a young kid misbehaving in the theater.. someone should have made sure to take care of that, totally not your fault.

FYL because it's not so normal to assume that people have down syndrome. You can tell him if he annoys you. YDI for being rude from the beginning.

"Wahhh you told the downs kid to shut up, you're a bad person, wahhh" People, shut the **** up. The OP didn't know and is thus excused. That's the problem with the world, everyone all PC and what not. Grow a set.

Next time you should say it nicely, but just because someone has a mental disability doesn't make it okay for them to be a public nuisance. If he was that in need of help he should have had someone there to take care of him/control him.

Why is a man with downs syndrome even THERE? If theyre so "distant" that theyre bouncing and clapping, it's whoever took them to the movie. So they can act normal? i'm sure all they get out of that is stares from little kids/ignorant people. so why bring them to a movie unless they can follow along what's going on? theres a girl at my school who has severe downs syndrome, she just walks around the school with some aide, screaming at the top of her lungs and clapping. she still goes to classes and everything, except it's actually her aide telling her where to go and sitting with her during class. WHY would anyone send their child to school so they can "learn" when they are, realistically, just disturbing other students with noises and just be subject to humiliation?
