mobile phones in cinemas
I make my paltry wage ushering at some unknown cinema in Yorkshire and the sheer ammount of gobshite chavs that pay five quid for a ticket just to sit through a movie they don't understand whilst texting is staggering.

I really don't mind phones being on so long as they do it right, leave the phone in the bag and if they just so happen to get that sudden urgent text, they should for gods sake make sure the phones on silent and quietly piss off to the toilets where I don't have to care about it. They shouldn't waft the phone about in mid air claiming the signals shite because the answer they can expect is "it's a fucking cinema what do you expect your not even meant to have them on in the first place." (minus expletives i take pride in not being fired)

And a final warning in the very unlikely event that anyone here is inonsiderate and stupid enough to try this, don't whatever you do once your caught loudly exclaim that your phone has to be on cause your "birds preggers and ready to drop." because the first thing i'll say is "why are you in a cinema?" the second thing I'll say is "I'll do you a favour I'll throw you out of the cinema now so you can go check up on her." and the third thing I'll do is go to the security cameras get their faces image on the way out stick it to the box office with the message "This guys a complete prick please never let him in again."

And the moral of the story, if your 'birds' expecting at any moment be a gent and stay with her just in case it happens soon, don't fuck off to the cinema with her mates like a complete nob. and in the very likely event that it's a lie, its really is just all the more reason to throw you out of there.

i love the cinema I just wish people knew how to act sensible in them.
