Ah, Karrie! This thread is LOOONG overdue.

And yes, texting is becoming a bigger and bigger problem. We went to see Indy 4 this weekend (finally), and I could see someone texting who was sitting about 10 rows (or more) in front of us. The angle was just so that the little blue-white light was right in my eye line. I can only imagine what it was like for people closer.

Seriously, people (and by people, I mean you teenagers and young 20-somethings everywhere), no one, and I mean NO ONE is THAT important. Unless you have the letters D and R in front of your name, and/or have a JOB that requires you to be chained to your electronic leash AT ALL TIMES, then you can TURN IT OFF. It won't kill you, I promise.

As for the popcorn bag crunching - yes, people, it is entirely possible to actually put your hand in the bag of popcorn withOUT crunching the paper bag around it. It takes a bit of skill, I'll admit, but with a little effort, it just isn't that hard.

And Karrie, you left off one of my favorites - chair kicking, especially for kids. I was all but accosted by some kid's mom one day after a movie because I had the audacity to ask her child to please NOT kick my chair. She got right in my face after the movie and told me I didn't have the right to correct her child, that I was not his mother. I told her that he was kicking me, and she said, "but he's just a kid." Unbelievable.
