Mind your manners

Save Print E-mail

Grab a tub of popcorn and treat yourself to a night at the movies. But don’t forget your manners! Get ready for movie-going with these tips from David Meagher’s book: It’s Not Etiquette: A Guide to Modern Manners (Random House Australia, $29.95).

• Popcorn should be chewed slowly rather than chomped down. No food, in fact, should be consumed so loudly that others can hear you.

• The movie may be loud but that doesn’t mean you should talk.

• It’s not your living room, so don’t put your feet on the seat in front of you.
