people telling you to be quiet during movie trailers

Post Reply New Topic

I talk loudly sometimes too. My friends just tell me to shush

Some aggressively shouted at me to "shut the f*ck up" at karaoke at a convention recently though. All my other friends were being quite loud, everyone talks at karaoke, it's a social gathering, and she picked ME out and shouted "SHUT THE F*CK UP!". Everyone else was being really loud too. I KNOW it's loud in there from other people, because you can't actually hear the people singing karaoke.

I dislike being shushed. I feel it's ironic for me to be told to be quiet because I am generally a shy person and haven't got a lot to say.

I always find it frustrating when I am in a group of people in a room, and they're all chatting and laughing, then when I contribute to the conversation, something comes on the telly like a song or something, and everybody all looks at the screen suddenly and somebody yells ''oh, sshh, listen to this a minute...!'' And then when I just sit quietly and don't take any risks by speaking, people are like ''you're quiet, Jo'' or ''you should join in more!''

I know it's such a silly thing worrying me but when it happens to you a lot it does upset you. After all, I do have Asperger's, so it doesn't take much to upset me. I wish these sorts of things didn't upset me but they do.

If you are sitting in front of me, and I tell you to pipe down, and you don't....you'll be wearing popcorn.

For the insane sums people pay for an evening out at the movies, I'm surprised she only told you to shut up.

If you want to say the trailers blew, rant on your blog.

I have a feeling your whisper is still way too loud.

I like those rules, Max000.

The law doesn't care if you were in a meltdown or not, you would be assaulting the person. You haven't though, and aren't, so it doesn't matter.

I would honestly take the advice of the person who told you to be quiet, take it away with you, and be mindful next time. I personally appreciate someone politely telling me to be quiet or shut up, than to have someone shout at me, mock me, or try to cause a fight or argument.

See this as a good thing, so people don't think you're a jerk next time.

I remember going to see the transformers movie, and the whole theatre collectively making happy noises with the big reveal of Optimus Prime. Sometimes it's fun to have the theatre-goers react all together. It's one thing you don't get watching them at home.

But there's no excuse for talking OVER the movie. If the actors are talking, you should not be.
That's always been my motto.
