11. Although I love movies, going to see them makes me a little crazy
Although I love movies, going to see them makes me a little crazy! First of all, getting to the movie theater can take a lot of time. I have a 35-minute drive from my house to the theater. Then, with a popular film, I usually have to wait in a long line at the ticket booth. Another problem is that the theater itself is rarely a nice place to be. A gross smell suggests that there has been no fresh air in the the theater for a long time. Most of the seats look like they are falling apart and the floor is often sticky from spilled cola and other drinks. The worst problem however, are the other moviegoers. Kids running everywhere. Teenagers laughing and shouting at the screen. Older people loudly coughing, burping, and elbow you out of the armrest on either side of your seat. So I would rather stay home and wait for the latest movie hits to appear on TV in the safety and comfort of my own house.
