Move seats

accidently spill my coke on his leg

If it was an accident I'd probably just keep quiet to avoid a conflict, if they were doing it purposely though I'd probably give them a bit of a serve and/or move lol

Same as on an airplane! Please stop, as it's triggering my anxiety.

Just ask them politely to stop kicking my seat and if that fails just move to a different seat if available.

Get up and go get the manager and let him or her handle it and they might give you a free movie for next time or move to a different seat but go get the manager first.

Easiest to move as you never know how they will react but I have asked politely in the past and it generally is 50/50 if they stop.

the last time i was at a movie the guy behind me was a homer simpson, farted, burped, slurped and crunched, his way through the previews then i was told you could buy the movie on prime for 28 dollars so we left as others did, haven't been back since, we bought a big blow up screen and buy movies and watch with family and friends , when we want to see a movieEdited 10-Mar-25 07:29am

I would politely ask them to stop. If they persist, I'd speak to a cinema attendant

I would ask them nicely to stop. If they keep on doing it, I would go & get a seat behind them & do the same thing to them.

I EXPERIENCED THIS ONCE AND I TURNED RIGHT AROUND AND ASKED THE PERSON IF THEY HAD A PROBLEM WITH THEIR FEET AND THAT WAS THAT. I WAS ABLE TO ENJOY THE REST OF THE MOVIE. 😉😉😉

calm and polite usually fixes the problem.

move to a seat behind them if available, and start kicking their seat............ fair is fair!

Same as people doing it on planes.no manners

I just move seats, they may be too tall for the space, or suffer from tourettes syndrome, cut them some slack!

Stand up face the person and shout at the top of your voice STOP they won't expect this reaction and everyone will be looking at them they will try to leave before movie ends .

I usually sit in the back row, so there isn't anyone behind me

You should go to the movies with a partner or a group of friends, I received 1 lonely point for my answer. I'd turn around and politely ask them to stop what they are doing as it's childish. In the Movies here seats are actually a fair way back and are super comfortable so for them to actually kick the seat in front takes a bit of effort from their part to achieve. Movie places can be smarter with their seat design to limit this behaviour from happening. Used to happen heaps in the old style design where you were crammed in like sardines. :D

This has never happened to me. We seldom go to movies when they are crowded so this will probably never happen.

I would turn and ask them politely to stop doing it. If they persisted I would report it to an usher or more likely - move to another seat.

5 points for Move seats if any available. I very rarely go to the movies even though there is a Hoyts multiscreen theatre across the road from me at Warringah Mall.

'1' lonely point for not going to theaters but, if I DID, I'd politely ask them to please stop because it's distracting! ;-D

When saying that be sure they understand what you are referring to

Smash em bro.

Give Them the Benefit of the Doubt – Sometimes, people don’t realize they’re doing it. A quick glance back might be enough to make them aware.

gjhgjfghdf along with STOP FOOTS irratating me !Edited 10-Mar-25 10:00am

I would politetly ask them to either stop kicking or if they dont, i would simply move seats.

Turn around give him a piercing glare then slowly stand up and turn towards him and lean slowly forward on the back of chair and say Do you really want to keep doing that. The rest will be in the hands of the perpetrator. From there only 1 of 2 things can happenYou get my driftEdited 09-Mar-25 10:41am

I do not suffer fools gladly.

I don't go to theaters but if I did I would ask them to stop or move to another seat if available.

3, ask them to stop

I remember when I was twitching my foot behind someone seat because my foot had a problem, then eventually they turned around furious at me and told me to stop. It felt very embarasing when I didn't realise I had been harrasing them for so long. So maybe I would do the same. Although I don't think I could be that fuious my self. Now I don't think Neo's are going to be programed to kick seats, but you can certainly program them to ask those turning around to move to another seat.

Simply stand up, move in front of them, when they ask what I'm doing, explain I'm moving to a new seat where no one is kicking my back

Move seats if I can & give them an evil glare when I do, perhaps sit behind them & kick their seat if I was really daring!!Edited 09-Mar-25 08:30am

I would actually ask very politely to stop it.then if they don’t I’d get someone to talk to them whilst I move to a different seat.

Why say anything as they now they are doing to piss people off. If you say something to them they will just do more to piss you off.

Just stand up and block their view.

HI, TY Ashley 1461269

Go sit behind them and do the same thing, let's see how they like it!!!

Do you just move seats if any available .. especially if there is one free just behind the wrong doer ... maybe give a coupld of kicks then move! Funny if it was a Musical and you're actually playing musical chairs ... that would be real audience participation!!!

I don't go to movie theaters - anymore. Fortunately, when I went to movie theaters - that never happened to me.

I no longer go to the movie theatre but would definitely ask them to stop.

5 points for I don’t go to the theatre

I usually sit up close to the back wall so that I have the best view and don't have that issue, and I do not kick someone else's seat, that's very rude to do, especially since you have to pay a good amount just to sit in there in the first place.

Throw my box of popcorn at themEdited 09-Mar-25 00:17am

If it's a child , lw old speak to their accompanying parent nicely . If it's another adult I would either move or report it or both ! Edited 09-Mar-25 00:07am
