I think it falls under theater etiquette for sure.

Sounds like you were focusing on the wrong thing at this. If they are on speakerphone that’s one thing, but texting is not intrusive to your experience unless you let it

Don’t love texting during someone’s performance. They worked hard to get there for you to enjoy it.

It’s rude. You pay for a performance. Enjoy the performance and it distracts others that are around you

THIS!!! Drives me nuts. It’s rude and smacks of insecurity. If you can’t just be somewhere without constantly checking your phone/security-blanket, you’re insecure. And constantly checking your phone feeds the validity of that insecurity. People say ‘movies are meant to be seen in theaters’ and I agree but people checking their phones ruins it.

One time I pulled out my phone to text *before* a performance started, and my two Gen Z sons (23 & 26) were all over me telling me how rude it was, so their tolerance is zero! 😂

staying present is something that those who've only had computer phones for their entire lives struggle so hard to do
