Unacceptable theater behavior

Later today, the family and I will journey to the movie theater to see Moana 2.

A new survey asked Americans about potentially divisive behaviors in a movie theater.

The results are disturbing.

Video chat on their phone
4% approve
90% disapprove
Talk on their phone
6% approve
88% disapprove
Talk at a regular volume with someone during the movie
11% approve
81% disapprove
Bring a child under age 3
20% approve
54% disapprove
Text on their phone during the movie
36% approve
50% disapprove

While the majority of Americans agree with me on all points, the movie theater is a special place where only one idiot can ruin everyone else’s experience.

So the fact that 4% of respondents think video chatting on the phone during a movie is okay, 20% believe that it’s acceptable to bring a child under the age of three, and  36% are fine with texting during a movie is upsetting because just one of these idiots can ruin the movie for an entire theater.

Who are these people?
Why are these people?

What are these bottom-of-the-barrel, scum-dwelling, tiny-brained monsters thinking when they say it’s fine to place a video call during a movie?

Sadly, Americans and I disagree with the one solution — absent cellphone jamming technology — that exists:

Yell at a stranger violating theater etiquette
17% approve
65% disapprove
Perhaps not yelling because volume never constitutes an argument, but maybea subtle scolding?
