In future bring a couple of pegs with you.

Ask her if she wants to stay and if she says no then leave and go another day. I'd make sure I got my money back.

MindYourHeadDoggy · 11/06/2022 19:23

Are you posting from your phone during a movie?

If so, you’re hugely inconsiderate.

HunterHearstHelmsley · 11/06/2022 19:25

Leave and go back tomorrow/next week? I can't imagine the cinema will give you a refund based on how your seat neighbour smells.

Penguinsaregreat · 11/06/2022 19:26

I’ve started saying if it smells.
Juat that really “Wow it smells in here.” Would be my response.

You’d ask for a refund because someone had been smoking and drinking before they entered the cinema?? 🤣

bloodyplanes · 11/06/2022 19:28

Are you for real? By all means swap seats with her if she feels uncomfortable but you can't complain because someone smells and you don't like it!

MajorCarolDanvers · 11/06/2022 19:29

It's the risk of going out in public.

BO
Minging perfume
Smoke
Tomato flavoured crisps.

Hold your nose or leave.

Maybe he doesn't like how you smell.

Dodgy because he smells of fags? That was most people in the 1980's 🤷‍♂️

NotKevinTurvey · 11/06/2022 19:33

I know how you feel. There was a woman next to me when I last went to the cinema using her phone during the showing.

Some people should just stay at home.

This. Inconsiderate twats with screens.

Im not inconsiderate

Posting during trailers is still hugely inconsiderate. If you can’t keep your phone off then please don’t go to the cinema, people like you ruin it for others.

UrsulaPandress · 11/06/2022 20:14

fags and booze are not necessarily dodgy

What would that achieve? Do you think Mr Smelly is going to produce some deodorant and air-freshener?

picklemewalnuts · 11/06/2022 20:23

My last trip to the cinema was spoiled by a man with disgusting BO somewhere behind me. Also noisy, chatty and rustling/slurping all through.

Inklingpot · 11/06/2022 20:24

Jesus Christ. Mumsnet gets more and more ridiculous every day. Get a fucking grip.

You always this judgemental?

PuffinMcStuffin · 11/06/2022 20:27

I'd rather sit next to someone smelling of fags and booze than someone on their phone during a movie.

Sunnytwobridges · 11/06/2022 20:29

Yuck, I hate the smell of cigarettes and combining it with booze would make me gag. Plus I have asthma so it would also irritate that too. I would probably leave.

Just laughed really hard at the crisps Grin

My mum always had a thing for crisps that she couldn't stand the small of too!

Jfc someone call 999

I can't believe your child is actually 'upset' by this.

Log it with 101. Anyone who has smoked AND drank (cigarettes as opposed to weed) is definitely dodgy AF. The smell will never fade.
His breath won’t be less smelly in a short while.
Clearly a degenerate of the highest order.
