Texas movie theater makes an example (and a PSA) of a texting audience member

Ever been annoyed by a loud-talking patron at a film? Had that nail-biting darkened hallway scene ruined by someone turning on their phone to send a text? Well, one Texas theater has your back.

Alamo Drafthouse, a local chain of dine-and-screen movie theaters in Austin, Texas, has long waged a war against impolite moviegoers. And the latest customer to object to their firm rules against talking and texting during an evening out has become the unwitting star of a PSA released by the company on Monday.

Thank you! Damn. You see the bright ass light of a cell phone and it totally distracts you.

It's one of the mysteries of life, why some people never click-over to the 'vibrator option'. I really don't mind hearing phones go-off in movie theaters too much... but stage-plays or lectures, it's definitely a total bum-out.

LOL, here, she responds.

Alamo Drafthouse:

...Recently, we had a situation where a customer persisted in texting in the theater despite two warnings to stop. Our policy at that point is to eject the customer without a refund, which is exactly what went down that night. Luckily, this former patron was so incensed at being kicked out, she quickly called the office and left us the raw ingredients for our latest "Don't Talk or Text" PSA. You can check it out below, or come to the Alamo this weekend where the video will be playing before all of our R-rated movies...

ah hahahaha
