Behaviour at concerts/theatre/cinema

[Paddington68]

Last night I went with a friend to Wembley at see STEPS, yes they were brilliant, thank for asking. My friend kept glancing back to two women behind us and I became more and more aware that they were chatting. No about the concert or STEPS but about I said this he said that, blah blah. STEPS were on the stage at the time. The woman next to me was also bothered by them and rolled her eyes to her husband/boyfriend.
After them talking through three songs, I turned and said,
"I've paid to see them (pointing to the stage) not listen to you, so can you pipe down." The woman I spoke to said "sorry." like a tantrum four year old and looked at me like dirt.
AIBU to think that people no longer know how to behave and need to be told.

Sadly an increasing number of people are just selfish entitled pricks.

I think my worse experience was when some bloke behind me took off his shoes and rested his smelly feet on top of the chair next to me, literally a few inches from my head. I am a reasonably big rugby playing bloke and I just slowly stood up turned around and told him to behave. Not everyone has size on their side and it makes me furious that these arseholes just intimidate others into putting up with their crass behaviour

I haven't been to the cinema for about 10 years now because of utter vile people like those referred to on this thread. It's a shame as I love seeing films on big screens but the minority spoil it for the majority. Can't think of anything I wouldn't wish on these 'people'.

The constantly going to the bar annoys me. I get taking a beer into the gig with you, but if you need several drinks in two hours then you might need to be at an AA meeting, not a concert. Plus drinking beer means you need to pee all the time so miss half the show.

Picnics annoy me too. Most people go for dinner before or after a movie, is there really a need to eat a smelly hot dog or bucket of popcorn during a film? Again, it’s two hours. You won’t starve. I guess cinemas need the money to survive, so we’ve been programmed to believe that you HAVE to snack at the cinema.
