So random and it’s probably a million other things in my mind that this was just bothering.

you get up to go to the loo in the cinema/theatre. Do you face face the people or you face the screen stage so your butt is in their faces?

Interesting!! Well I didn’t realise I booked was an in corner seat! I darent leave my seat as so worried about how to get past the people. I kept looking around to see others leave but missed them.

I go to the theatre and cinema a lot but on my recent trip I needed the loo! I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to get past!!

I tend to make eye contact, smile and say excuse me, then sidle out facing the screen. Facing the people I’m squeezing past feels too in-their-face.

If you’re going to need to get up to go to the loo, surely you’d book an aisle seat?

face, so I can do that awkward raised hand and say ‘sorry, sorry…..sorry, thank you’ as I go along 😂
