The man next to me laughs all through the movie – can he be imagining the same thing? I think not, but he must be one of those people who have to make their derision or approval loudly known to the rest of the audience. This is especially annoying in foreign films, when people grunt or snort their appreciation of the French with nanoseconds before the subtitles have come up.
I thought that it’s quicker to scan the subtitles than to listen to the dialogue, and therefore I’ve held back my loud acknowledgements until the precise moment of the utterance. Yes, I am an annoying person.
