I don't buy popcorn at the movies anymore. Part of it might be because whenever I got some, my dad would grab popcorn by the handful and waste it (as opposed to my 1-piece at a time, like you). The bigger reason though is that the popcorn just got to be so darn expensive and unhealthy for you. I rarely go to the movies but I share most of your exact reactions to movie etiquette. I sigh when my dad takes out his phone during the movies to check for any calls. How rude lol. Other people might get annoyed by the light from the phone.

Since you mentioned it in your blog, I'll also state something about restaurants. I'm always a very courteous and pleasant customer. I say "thanks" when my water is refilled, I say "please" after ordering my meal (even though I know I don't have to), and I'm generally a very nice person to the employees. I seem to be the nicest one in my family, but my dad really is the worst at restaurants compared to me. He always back-talks the waiters/waitresses when they make a slight mistake, don't check up on us while we're eating (which they probably should, but he still makes a scene), brings something to our table a little late etc. I can remember a time we've gotten free food because he started yelling at the waitress for not taking our orders correctly and being very late. Sometimes it's helpful, but often it's much more than I'd care for.
