Candid Camera Classic: Lousy Movie Seats

[@GrnXnham]

Good one! This reminds me of when I park my car in a HUGE parking lot at the store. I always park a long way from the door--out where no one else parks. I do this just because I get tired of people dinging my car with their doors when they park next to me. So it's a running family joke that when I park miles from anyone and then go into the store, often when I come back out SOMEONE is parked right next to me far away from the door and far away from all the other cars!

[@coz7891]

That's exactly what this video reminded me of. This happens to me all the time. I'll park far away at the mall, run into the store, & when I come back out all these cars are on top of mine.

[@coz7891]

@Karate Kid 🤣

[@SarahDigsHockey]

That could have been me. I park far away as well but that's because the extra walking is good for me and I'm sure someone else would appreciate a closer parking spot.

[@swedishpsychopath8795]

Why are you fishing in a movie theatre?

[@jayniekinser7029]

Yeah, I know fishing. I think maybe if you’re there first they think you must know what you’re doing and maybe there’s fish there. It’s actually just everything where there are other people. There’s someone almost always doing something like that.

[@hansel2001]

One of the best Candid Camersas I’ve seen. Classic. When the lady at the end asks, “do you have any more people coming? We’ve moved 4 times.”, the person in front should have said, “Oh, we don’t know each other.”

[@golamakberzahirulislam2821]

Hilarious 😂 🤣 😅 - loved the idea. Wished I could see their reactions when told they are on Candid Camera 😀

Why don’t they show that? That’s the best part!

[@XXgenderloveXY]

Right?? That's what I was waiting for. So disappointed!

[@darrenmiles-morland8038]

I don't think that some of them bothered to wait around for that long, especially the one who stormed out of the theatre before the movie started.

[@joeterp5615]

That was the only weakness of the show - believe it or not, they didn’t always show the reactions. And I agree - those are the best part! We need that resolution lol!!

[@markstrouse3101]

This is probably one of the greatest videos I've ever seen.

Not at the theater I go to. I don't go very often because of outrageous prices, but when I do I usually do have it all to myself or only a couple others. It's at a mall where few people ever go. I honestly don't know how the mall is still even in business.

[@slp-mu6uj]

Does anyone remember the episode where Peter is interviewing Steve Mariuchi, then coach of the 49s? Peter keeps interupting Steve in the middle of his answers.

[@marynorth235]

This actually happened to me at a shool play. My husband and I were the first ones in, and people kept sitting in front of us, every time we moved! Finally the theater was full and we had a blocked view, even though we were the first people there.

[@JC-sg5uo]

Reminds me when my kids were younger, whenever they had events at school, I was always one of the first ones there so I could get a front row seat or at least a good second row seat. So one time I get there real early and a lady had saved the whole front row! I was so annoyed. She had placed papers, books, purse, etc. on all the seats. I asked her why they were saved and she said for family members. So I sat in a seat on the second row in the middle so I would be able to still take pictures and see my daughter clearly. The family members start coming in close to when the event was beginning. Sure enough a large man sits right in front of me and I'm straining to see. I got there almost an hour early just to have this man come in as the event was starting. I told the school staff and they made announcements after that for people to only save 2 seats, but it was never enforced.

[@jayniekinser7029]

My mother and I decades ago were at a staged musical and the first ones there. We got the best seats in the house in 45 minutes later it was clear full. The director of the musical came up to my mother and said I’m sorry these two seats are reserved for me and my assistant you’ll have to move and the ushers will help you find a new spot. It was pretty amazing, but we discovered that all seats in the theater were good seat seats.

[@carlawilkinson5831]

I had something like this happen at a doctors visit a few years ago. I walked in, the waiting room was huge, like 50 people could sit down in there comfortably. But there was only like 5 people, so I sat away from everyone else where I couldn't even see the tv.. a few minutes go by and some older lady sits right next to me, puts all stuff down and asks if I don't mind, I said it was fine.. even though I didn't like it. Then a old dude that was tall as hell comes in and sits right on the other side of me.. so after a minute or so I get up and go to the bathroom and come out and sit on the other side of the room and minutes later a mom comes in with her kids and they all sit right next to me.. 😖😔 There was plenty of space in the middle, by the front desks, etc. Thankfully they called me up soon after that, I stay away from people in general, so it was pretty uncomfortable.

[@baddie1shoe]

Ha ha

[@darrenmiles-morland8038]

That's why programs like this one shouldn't be encouraging it, even though it isn't real and they are only trying to have a bit of fun. Some people really don't like others to come and crowd their personal space like this when there are so many other available spaces to choose from. This sort of thing just encourages inconsiderate people to be even more inconsiderate.

[@richardstewart429]

Or some punk making a KZbin video.

[@JC-sg5uo]

Once years ago I went to a James Bond movie with a friend. We chose some seats at the end of the row but there was one left beside me on the end. The theater had plenty of empty seats at that time. A young guy walks in and sits in the end seat right next to me. I thought to myself there are so many seats, he just has to sit right next to me? During the movie, you know how adventurous James Bond is. I was fully engrossed in the movie when suddenly I felt something crawling on me. I started to brush it away and I looked in my lap when I realized the guy had his hand in my lap. I looked at him and he was staring at me so creepily. I crossed my legs and told my friend what happened. She looked over at him and said where did he go? I looked at where he was just a few seconds earlier and he had left. I looked down the aisle and didn't see him. I don't know if he just left the theater or quickly sat in another seat. Totally creeped out!

This is like the time that I was at Universal Studios about to see a show. There was plenty of available seats but for some reason people kept coming up to the row I was sitting in and asking me to move so that they could sit down. I always like sitting on the end of the aisle so got up about ten times, so that they could get through, until there was no more room in that row. I was with my parents at the time (they got up each time for people to get through as well) and I said to my parents (after getting up ten different times and the row becoming full) “all these available seats here but everyone wants to sit in this same row”. They said to me, “well there is no more room here now, if someone else asks tell them no”. Sure enough, almost immediately, someone else came up and asked me to move again.. had to finally tell them no, that there was no more room in our row but there was still PLENTY of seats for them to sit in ANY other row.. I actually felt like it was a Candid Camera prank that day.. 😆

The movie started when suddenly four very tall people, one wearing a hat, come in and sit right in front of us blocking our view. We couldn't believe it. They were so tall that it really was hard to watch the movie.

Not long after we got there, boatloads of people trooped into our spot and hung up banners, proclaiming that they were "The Thompsons". They began a whole barrage of photo shoots, invading our personal space and blocking our view of the surrounding woodland. They occasionally shot us angry glances, and it went on for at least half an hour before they finally got their way, and we left. Now, any time anything like this happens, we call the people 'Thompsons'. 😅

I think it’s true. I have to tell you something. The very last time I ever went to a movie, it’s really interesting. There were two married couples sitting together in the middle of the theater, and this random lady went in and sat down just to the left of that couple and I actually sat down in front of a couple right in the middle. We were the only people in the entire theater and yet we were there all clustered together. I just realize that.
