999 now! Your daughter is at serious risk from being exposed to hoi polloi.

Dodgy AF.

What did you do in the end op?

I would have hated sitting next to that man too, it's more the smell of alcohol on someone's breath that would sickened me than the smell of fags, I don't know if I would have been able to stay sitting next to someone who stinks like that.

What’s the name film of the film?

Oblomov22 · 11/06/2022 22:13

I can't believe the grief op is getting. I would simply move. I wouldn't sit next to someone who is Stank so badly.

Why don't you speak to the staff at the cinema?

pushingpoppies · 11/06/2022 22:18

Love the Mumsnet entertainer these days, fascinating window into people's weird and wonderfulness and sense of entitlement

Extremely Smelly And Incredibly Close?

How the fuck do some of you get through daily life? Maybe stay at home if you can't handle being in public places with other people.

I posted during the trailers and have come out to the loo now

Im not inconsiderate

They look and smell dodgy

Grow up you judgemental so and so

@Athenajm80 HUD. THE.BUS. I also have tattoos, I also am I retired police officer... my hair hasn't been washed for a week, I'm covered in dog hair and I def look do(oggy) dgy!! I may win this, I'm just looking around making sure I'm not in the cinema but no, def watching gary Anderson getting humped at darts in the final x

😂😂😂 it's you in the cinema then!! Don't think this is turning out as OP hoped

newbiename · 11/06/2022 22:28

Why didn't you move ?
I used to smell of booze and fags - I was a barmaid 😳

Deadringer · 11/06/2022 22:30

Dodgy people like movies too.

I worked in a chippy, OP's child would have had an attack of the vapours sitting next to me. OP must work in lush and smells like soap. OP have you ever farted in front of your child? Be careful if you haven't, may bring on a panic attack

OnaBegonia · 11/06/2022 22:34

Your DD is upset at someone smelling of booze and fags?
Have neither of you ever left the house?
What a horrible judgy post and very odd.
look dodgy really?

RagingWoke · 11/06/2022 22:35

good lord, someone dares have a fag and a beer before the cinema 😵

The audacity of these dodgy looking AND SMELLING people using public spaces? Won't somebody think of the children!

SlowHorses · 11/06/2022 22:39

OP sounds annoying AF. The “dodgy” people sat next to them are probably posting a parallel thread on another site about the obnoxious family next to them who keep moving seats, staring, going on their phone, wear smelly perfume and are generally looking down their nose at everyone. They hope you leave as well.

XenoBitch · 11/06/2022 22:40

OP is onto a winner here. Complain about a smelly person in the cinema... get a refund. Rinse and repeat.

PinkSyCo · 11/06/2022 22:42

You need to teach your kid resilience and stop being so entitled and judgemental yourself.

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.

Complain about what exactly, not like he's shit himself
