Here is what I don’t get.

How does ‘texting’ bother other moviegoers ?

It would make more sense if he was TALKING on the phone, or had the SPEAKER on, but texting ? That makes no noise.

Gee... I remember the good ole’ days when People got new LED watches for Christmas and set the alarm to go off during the movie. No one got killed, that I remember.

I’ve sat behind jokers who text throughout the movie. It is really annoying to have their phone light up every 10 seconds. But sheesh, not enough to engage them. Like most folks here have said, you just CHANGE SEATS.

I’ve also had a couple ‘road rage’ experiences with - RETIRED cops. Yes, they think THEY are gods; Don’t we know who they THINK they are??? How DARE I pass them??

I’m not knocking all cops. But I’ve witnessed enough abusing ones to not like them very much anymore. Which is a darn shame. I hope this clown doesn’t have ‘connections’ with the court and gets off easy.

There is light and a repeated "click click clickty click click click click" sound. Not everyone has an iPhone. And even an iPhone likely has a glowing screen.
