Nowadays, people can enjoy a lot of things. They can go on a date at amusement parks or visit a spa to unwind. They can look for all-you-can-eat restaurants and pig out. Out of the various entertaining activities available to people these days, visiting a theater to enjoy free movies should be one of those at the top of the list.

It is definitely a fun activity that anyone can indulge in. There is no need to pay anything at this. However, you better bring your etiquette with you when you go to a theater. There are simple etiquette that people have to follow when they are watching films. Here are those etiquette that one should observe.

First, avoid using your cellphones when you are on the theater. You can either turn this off, keep it in silent mode, or not bring it at all. It is only fine to use the cellphone at the theater when you reply to a text or when you light the way down the aisle but it is never right to talk to someone over the phone.

Watch where you rest your feet. It is actually acceptable for you to rest your knees or feet on the armrest or chair right in front of you. No matter how much the ushers do not like it, you have to keep yourself feeling comfortable the entire time. However, make sure that the seat is empty first before doing anything.

No taking pictures. It is an illegal act and you may get fined for it. There is actually nothing more annoying for the people in the dark room off of the theater than a phone or a camera flashing intermittently. Not only can that be distracting, you will also be annoying them.

Talking is basically not forbidden but it is better if you do so in a whisper. If you need to talk to the person who is sitting beside you, you have to do it in a low voice. No need to use a loud voice or even your conversational voice because these can be really annoying to the people around you.

Making out is a big no no too. Do not let your passion run over you while in the dark, cold setting of the theater. Do not do it when there are kids around, when there is no one else in the theater, or even when there are lots of people. No one wants to see you making out with your partner, after all.

Pee breaks are something to watch out for. While it is true that everyone has to go to a bathroom to pee at some point in time, it is not forgivable to always get up every thirty minutes just to go to the bathroom. That will just disturb the other people who are actually intending to seriously watch the show.

Snacking is okay just as long as you do it nicely. There is no need for you to chew on your crunchy food so noisily. You should also refrain from making the cellophane of the food you are trying to open make noisy sounds. You have to eat noiselessly and neatly.
