Cinema and people

I would love to know why people go to the cinema.... Now I go for the film personally but others go for all kinds of reasons.

They go to text their mates, talk all the way through, put their feet up on the chairs and some go and sit next to you and stare at you throughout.. The last one happened today.

I took my son to see the race to witch mountain film and we are sitting down with a few seats spare either side and some girl and her mate come in late and sit down next to us. No problem so far except that I am beginning to sense she is uneasy and that her perfume is over powering luckily I don't suffer with asthma or I might have keeled over then and there. but then it begins. I have my bottle of water in the cup holder to my left and she stares at it then she stares at me and throughout the film this goes on. It is somewhat un-nerving and there is no reason why she should act like that, she has her drink in the cup holder to her left and her mate even has hers in her left one too so no it can't be the cup holder. So what gives.

She then straightens her bag out on her lap smoothing it down and with each hand movement another waft of perfume spreads out. Then I looked up at her at the same time as she looked at me and I just wished if there was something bothing her she would just come out with it. But then in a flash it came to me. Not everyone visiting the cinema is 'normal'.

Just as well really or they wouldn't have allowed me in but luckily I was accompanied by a responsible 13 year old.
