View submission: Is theater etiquette dead?

Bro I straight up feel no shame in responding with a loud “SSSHHHH!” to these people. You’re not going to be any louder than they are, and you’ll likely get them to shut the fuck up—so even if anyone thought about being annoyed with you for shushing others, they’d appreciate it soon after.

This really does work. I’ve had to do it before several times during a movie in theaters, and that was $12, not $250-$600.

During intermission, you can also grab an usher and ask them to pay attention to whatever row the commotion is coming from, so they can catch them in the act.
