I go to the movies a LOT. I review them, so it's important to see them as soon as they come out. I love seeing big blockbusters and getting popcorn and just being a part of the theater experience. But lately, there's been one thing keeping me from enjoying the film, and it's probably my biggest pet peeve of all time.

You're not supposed to do it anyway, but if you're going to the movies PLEASE STAY OFF YOUR PHONES!!!!!! It's one of the first things they tell you to do, yet as of late I've seen TONS of people doing it as of late!!! Even if it's a quick text, your screen is still super bright on it's lowest setting and can be extremely distracting to those around you.

I have ADHD, so paying attention to things is already hard enough without people sending texts every 3 minutes. I can't even have my own phone on silent (unless I need to be super aware of time), I need to turn it completely off because the vibrations distract me. But now ON TOP OF THAT, I have to sit in the first row of the back seat or along the handicap spots just to avoid people on their phones. I had to put my hood up just to hide my peripherals today and there was STILL someone in front of me texting!!!! Unbelievable!

If you're going to the movies please be courteous of other movie goers and stay off your phones. I understand that things have been more relaxed as of late, but don't waste $10 of your hard earned cash if you aren't even going to give a film your full attention.
