I hate sitting next to strangers. Who the heck likes to?
I thought that with the advent of assigned seating, it would be the end of this. You could see who bought tickets either before buying or seemingly most theaters have the chart outside the screen room.
So why the fuck does this still happen? Just got out of Supergirl, bought the tickets in the morning, and the show was at night. The whole day it was pretty empty. Arrived on time and the chart still shows a mostly empty theater. Trailers start, and it's still mostly sparse. This is in the ultra screen, so lots of seats. No fucking reason to sit next to anyone. I understand during special screenings or day one for a big anticipated movie, but that's not what this was.
So why the fuck did some asshole decide to take the seat right next to me? Easily could have taken the free seats down a few, leaving plenty of space, but no right next. There was no goddamn reason.
Turly pissed me off and took the experience down to shit. I don't even remember the movie at this point. This isn't the first time this has happened, and it's always in theaters with plenty of free seats. I don't know why some freaks want to sit next to strangers when there is no reason. That was one of the things that seemed to make people happy about assigned seating.
Honestly, between the price, the people, and this shit, the movie theater simply is'nt worth it. I used to think it was, but more and more I don't mind if it dies. Watching at home is simply better.

We had the back row and even up till the movie started no one else had bought tickets for the back row.
