00:00A woman behind me in a sold-out IMAX theater
00:02spent 30 minutes scrolling TikTok
00:05on full brightness with the sound on.
00:08When I politely asked her to mute it,
00:10she rolled her eyes and snapped,
00:12I paid 20 bucks for my ticket.
00:14I'll do whatever I want.
00:15Instead of causing a scene,
00:16I quietly walked out and flagged down the head manager.
00:19The manager didn't just whisper to her.
00:21He paused the entire movie,
00:23turned on the house lights,
00:24and walked straight down the aisle.
00:26Over the theater PA system,
00:28he announced that a patron was illegally recording the screen,
00:31which violates copyright policy.
00:33Two security guards escorted her out
00:34while 200 people cheered and clapped.
00:37She didn't get a refund,
00:38but everyone else got free passes.
