It amazed us at the beach, 100 yards in either direction and someone would put their towel right next to us. And this really happens at the movies too. What is with these people?
Oh those poor souls. During the entire film—quiet parts as well as loud—they will have to endure the sounds of the Pennys eating all that food. Surely they sound like a pen of hogs. (No offense meant to hogs!) And talking. And then there are those smells! (I won’t comment further about that.)
I very seldom go to movies unless with grandkids, but then, all we care is a good place for us and sufficient seats together. I hear though, that many folks are happy to be sitting alone and annoyed when joined by folks like the Penny’s.
It never bothers me that someone sits near me (unless tall in front of me or kicking seat and behind me) – latter has happened more when flying. Little 5’ folks like me do not like to sit behind the tall.
I used to sit about in the middle of the theater, until one day 2 women came in late and sat right behind me in an otherwise empty theater. From that day on I try to sit in the back row. At least nobody can sit behind, but on occasion someone will sit right in front of me. People are so irritating!

“What about here next to these folks? They seem to think this is the best place..”
That was pretty much my thinking when I decided to post in this forum.

It’s that herd instinct.
Doubly so in the Pennys’ case… I heard they stink.

Okay, I’m a bit confused by the Find-It today…

Gee, now those haplessly-located unfortunates don’t have to even watch “THE OTHERS”: they’re sitting right next to them! Ohhhh, lucky, Lucky, LUCKY!!

I it were me sitting there …I would get up and move far far away…. just as soon as they settled in and started chomping on the popcorn…

This is why I avoid movie theaters like the Plague!
