Showtimes are staggered to prevent crowding in hallways, lobbies and restrooms, and when tickets are purchased, adjacent seats are blocked off.

Obviously cell phone use in movie theaters is rampant, and sometimes very distracting. I’m not sure pepper spraying the person on their phone is necessarily the proper solution to that issue, though.

A better solution might just be alittle more empathy, both from someone using their phone and showing no concern for the moviegoing experiences of the patrons around them, and from those around them who are trying to to enjoy the movie without distraction. I recognize that is not a value appreciated by a lot of people these days. (I mean, obviously. A dude pepper-sprayed a stranger over using his phone duringThe Uprising.) But maybe we could try it, and see what happens.
