What would you have done/ what do you think the outcome should've been here?

DP and I took DD and some of her mates to the local multiplex cinema last week for her 11th birthday.

It was a Sun afternoon and the (rather small) cinema was fairly packed.

Film starts and very quickly it becomes evident that there is a female behind us with special needs - there was intermittent loud clapping and prolonged whooping and hollering and stamping of feet, with breaks of silence for about 10 seconds.

I could hear some (what sounded kindly) Shhh noises I'm guessing from the people with her but to no avail.

WWYD?

Quickly exit the cinema without making a fuss, find a manager and ask if there is anything they can do.

Of course, they can't block the person from entering (anti-DDA) but they usually have the right to refund your tickets. It's annoying but I'm guessing taking several 11 year olds you probably were expecting some noise anyway.

What Northerngirl says really. I cannot think of anything else other than just sitting there and waiting to see if the person behind eventually calmed down.
