The movie theater
In my view, the theater needs a lot of improvements. Why do people just pay an arm and leg for tickets prices and food? Also it annoys me a lot to hear constant munching on popcorn and the noise of wrappers during a movie. Are people that addicted to eating? I remember several studies that proved people eat more when they are watching something on television, and at the theater. They just keep shoveling the food in their mouths, and don't even realize it! My advice to prevent this: eat before you go to the movies. This saves you money, and makes you less annoying in the first place. The movie theaters don't need to make your money from their overpriced food.
Random Thoughts #5
I've been sick since Sunday. My nose is stuffed up, I have a headache and a sore throat. I've been taking nasal spray, and some pills. However they haven't done much yet. It's just a cold I believe, but it's annoying. I can't seem to even stay awake for long. Then when I do sleep, it's for a long time.
A warning to people that buy used books: look inside the book more. Many stores sell used books that have pen marks, ripped pages and even stickers stuck inside. I find this a horrible resale practice. The store should take the time to clean the book up more, otherwise sell it for cheaper.

It could have been PR or something, but I recall hearing that movie theaters make little money, if any at all, on ticket sales, and that they need to mark-up prices to make money.
It sounds as though you yourself don't buy refreshments at the theater, so at least take solace that you aren't being suckered out of $10 for a tub of popcorn. ...or whatever a tub of popcorn costs--I don't know. I love popcorn more than the average person, but I don't like wasting money on it. Though, I hear that popcorn prices are going up.
I don't go to the theater very often, but I don't remember ever being particularly upset about people being noisy with their food during a movie, but I can imagine being very irritated by it. Then again, I even get annoyed when people clap after a solo in my sister's school concerts, so I guess everything irritates me.
