You could argue that in this case, by not moving, you are actually causing harm to another person. But I think its more correct to say that the lady caused harm to herself by coming into a movie 10 minutes late and expecting people to be nice to her by shuffling around to make room for her. I would think that's she's the insensitive person here. Even if coming late was not her fault, she shouldn't expect others to move for her and get angry when they don't. I certainly wouldn't, I would feel like an ass if I did, because I have no right to force people to move for me. Much about this is subjective though. I think most people would feel better moving for someone else than they would in having the perfect seat at the theatre; so to them it would feel "wrong" not to move. But if the seats were really magical and you liked them, then I think what you did is perfectly fine. | ||

Next time, move over. Being early doesn't entitle you to good seats, it entitles you to a good seat. As in, the one you actually planted your ass on. | ||

Read that sentence a few times and think about the situation. If you come to the conclusion that it was worth it, ask yourself why you go to a cinema which is so ridiculously badly designed that moving one seat makes any form of difference what so ever. | ||

If 30 minutes in you're thinking to yourself 'man I really would have preferred to sit 50 cm to the right' then it sucks and you shouldn't even torrent it | ||

Remember this if you ever find yourself asking someone to move so you can sit down - you've already indicated that courtesy is not required. | ||

The woman was a jerk for talking about the problem after sitting down, and giving you the deathglare afterwards. All in all, stress was injected into a situation where you should have been having a good time, so much so that it probably took away from the movie a little bit, and caused you to dwell on it long enough that you wrote a blog. Take that stress out of your life man, it isn't worth it. Moral of the story? Lie and tell her you have another friend coming who is running late. He planned his DAY around finding those seats, his DAY manifesto. Are you really about to tell the man he is a jerk for not moving? His DAY... | ||

I personally still would have moved though, because it's still just one seat over. | ||

It was fucking magical seriously. You guys are assholes. | ||
