Which way you turn to leave a cinema/theatre seat…

[Bodyshame1980]

So random and it’s probably a million other things in my mind that this was just bothering.

you get up to go to the loo in the cinema/theatre. Do you face face the people or you face the screen stage so your butt is in their faces?

I book aisle seats for this exact reason which is exacerbated by my weak bladder.

Either is fine, just don’t be this woman when someone else walks by.

I am in an aisle seat most of the time, so does not arise. Part of the reason for an aisle seat if going alone is so that the venue can sell more seats I think, and I want cinemas and theatres to survive.

Similar situation but so different - passing in corridor of old fashioned corridor trains - a research report I read some years ago suggested that men faced the people they were passing and women turned their back on them, possibly a "modesty" thing - women protecting themselves against any unwanted touching from males. Similarly any passing in a narrow corridor where both people are standing up.

And if you're not normally the sort of person who is likely to need the loo during a performance but gets caught short?
