Why do people act like this?

I hate going to the cinema. It took a great act of kindness for me to agree to take my 10 year old brother to see Karate Kid. When we were sitting in the cinema, a really loud group of about 5 or 6 came in. They were making loads of noise, and using a lot of foul language. I went to the toilet, and when I came back my brother said that he'd been hit in the head with a penny.

In the film they kept making loud noises, and using abusive language. People were turning their heads so I knew they were getting annoyed. I decided to take matters into my own and I told them to shut up. bold move, as I am a pussy :p

Then they started to threaten me, and said stuff like "who said it? was it that ****?" A couple looked the same age as me, the rest looked a little younger. But most bigger. Curse my petite physique :o

They didn't make much noise after that. Still more than everyone else put together, but nowhere near as bad as before. I walked out of the film and they were waiting for me outside. They told me to bow down to them and to get on my knees. "NO! I'm not gonna beg!" I said. Then they pushed me into the wall and started punching me, WTF :confused:. I wasn't that scared, I knew they wouldn't hit me that hard as it was a public place. But then I looked over and my brother was crying :(

Then I just pushed my past, and grabbed him. At this point the other members of public got involved and the group left.

I'm really sorry, I know that much worse happens, and I'm trying to explain this to my brother. Just needed to vent :mad:

Next time I'll keep my mouth shut, now I understand why people don't say anything :rolleyes:

Yeah, no of course, no point losing your life over that right? Who knows they could've been carrying weapons or had it in mind to kill you.

To be honest, they wouldn't have killed me. It was in a public place, there were people around, it would be stupid of them to do anything like that. I think that's why I wasn't afraid, there wasn't really much they could have done.

No respect and no common courtesy.

Fantastic bravado in a group but rabbits in a headlight when on their own.

My thoughts exactly. If it had been one of them on their own, they wouldn't even have made any noise. If it was two of them, they would have made noise but not done anything afterwards.

I hate the group mentality. That's why I hate being part of large groups in public.

Moronic scum with no upbringing, probably no decent family life and no future.

That's the thing. I suppose the assumption is that they do not come from the best of backgrounds, but then how can they spend £4 to watch a film, shout and throw stuff at people the whole way through it, and then abuse an Indian guy afterwards who "got rude" to them.

Oh no, don't get me wrong, I didn't do anything like that as a kid either, but in my thread about the teens who killed the old guy in a happy slapping attack, I was reliably informed that it was just boys being boys and something that is common behaviour :)

I don't know who said that. But hitting strangers and filming it isn't common behaviour, otherwise, you would know that it was common, as you would have experienced it :)

I had this last week.

Me and 3 friends went to see the A-team, ye we talked while the trailers were on but once it started we were silent.

15minutes into the film, 6-7 lads came in, running around infront of the screen, rugby tackling each other, throwing popcorn n stuff around at each other before sitting in the row right infront of us.

Two of them started playing music on their phone which just sent us over the top, my mate leaned over and told them to be quiet which they didnt listen to anyway.

all of them turned around and starting saying really abusive language, so we thought what a bunch of ****s.

film finished, we went outside and they were stood right infront of the door wating for us to come out, what they didnt realise is that we were meeting a few more mates :) which scared them off.

That's really awful. That's absolutely ridiculous. Did everyone else sit there and ignore it?

They weren't really chavs. They were black. I don't think there's 'black chavs' But I could be wrong

I've been there a few times. Haven't had any bad experiences myself but I've seen it happen in other cinemas. Every time it happened I simply walked out and alerted security. They soon had a word and in some cases chucked them out.

I really wish I did that now :(
But it was in one of the small screens. It would have involved squeezing past some of them as I was quite far from the aisle.

To the OP, in future when you are having troublesome people in a cinema, go outside and find a member of staff or the manager. They will send somebody in to monitor them or throw them out if they are observed messing about. If you really want to get there attention, maybe mention that you also saw them filming the screen!

I know that telling people to shut up sometimes works, but then it helps if you are older... also you often find you get a few people backing you up when you say something. In your case where its a gang your same age or what have you, I would defiantly have gone down the staff route first.

Thanks :)

To be honest, if I'd left to tell a member of staff, they'd know it was me, and they'd probably have still waited and then they would have been waiting for me a bit further outside.
 
Thinking back now, I felt so weak in that situation. Mainly because no one enforced my "shut up"

one person at the front went "shhhhh" but that didn't really work. But after the film when they shoved me against the wall, at least people tried to get involved I suppose
