In cinema - man smells of fags & booze next to us

[isyoursave]

But its a packed screen, hes next to dd shes really upset by it. Im swapping but still, i suppose nothing can be done?

They honestly seem like very dodgy prople

No cinema in the land is going to issue a refund on the basis of a smelly person in the vicinity 😂😂😂

I once got a migraine and fainted on the bus after sitting beside a woman wearing opium in the cinema. Do you think I can ring up and get a belated refund?
It was 1993 I think, reshowing of Cocktail with Tom Cruise.

Fucking hell, just what would you want the staff to do? Kick him out?

You are out in public amongst other people, and sometimes they can smell.

And what do you mean by he "looks dodgy"? Do you really pay much notice to how someone looks in a darkened cinema?

Being on your phone in the cinema is a more serious offence than smelling of fags and booze.

There is woman that gets on the bus near me, I can only cope with 5 minutes. Then I move. The smell is horrible.
Local cinema charges £16.99, I would complain.

Could be worse, you could have just come from the pub where you worked the Lunch shift to go to the cinema with your kid and be sat next to the inconsiderate arsehole who's texting in the cinema

In future bring some febreeze with you and squirt it all over anyone in your general vicinity. Or stick a couple of vicks sticks up your nose holes and breathe in the fresh tingly menthol goodness

Or just bring your vape in and make the whole cinema smell of raspberry and banana toxic toffee sundae or whatever your flavour is

I hope you enjoy the film

Complain about what? The cinema haven't done anything wrong.

Is this them?

What does ‘dodgy’ mean? I’d love to know.

They're probably one of the great unwashed. That doesn't mean they are any less worthy than you to visit a public place.

I am smoking a fag! 😂

How on earth do some of you get through life??? What do you want to be done OP? As far as I understand there is no law saying someone can't drink and/or smoke before going to the cinema. If it upsets you so much then leave, but there is no need to make such a drama about it.

😂😂😂

Have you gone to see a new release on a Saturday evening? They tend to be busy and people tend to sit beside you. Smelly people, people on their phones, people crunching nachos, people snogging. The works.

Always go and see a film at the end of a run when it's just you and 5 other curmudgeons in the cinema. Heavenly.

As for complaining to the cinema staff about there being a man smelling of fags sitting beside you? Good luck with that one.

Bloody hell, just deal with it! It’s a public place. Book a private viewing if you’re so bothered about someone else’s smell.

Is it Johnny Depp

Google the name if you are unsure. There are lots of pictures of him online.

I would ask for refund them. I go to cinema all the time and loads of people stay on their phone until main feature. Not me because I like the trailers.

I can not believe you bothered to even post this.

How do you "smell dodgy" I think you should stay at hime in future.. 🙄

I'm currently drinking vodka and lemonade, I had a fag out the back garden about 20 mins ago... I MUST be dodgy!! Never mind I'm a retired police officer, FGS I SMELL dodgy therefore I am.. 🙄

Never go out without some tampons and panty liners that can be quickly utilised if you encounter dodgy, smelly people.

Tip - unused tampons work best.

Haha, brilliant!

Ah but you only smell dodgy, not smell AND look dodgy.

I have had a vodka and San Pellegrino Lemon, and a rollie, plus I'm wearing trackie bottoms, a t-shirt with a hole (courtesy of my cat who did not want to go in his cat box) and I have tattoos. I reckon I may tick both boxes. We now need someone who looks, smells, AND sounds dodgy....Anyone? It's a Mumsnet version of "I went to market and bought..."
