Re: movie theater seating debate
With certain rare exceptions, I think its extremely rude to arrive late and then ask someone to move. I'd likely decline, esp since these past years I've been to the movies only rarely and only with my boyz...so I arrive early to make sure to get them good seats.
I could understand if it was a handicapped person wanting an aisle seat or a pregnant woman wanting to be close to the door for calls of nature, things like that.
Otherwise, let the rude latecomers sit where there are seats available, tell them, sorry we arrived early so that we'd get the seats we wanted.
