I'm not paying top dollar for a theater ticket to be uncomfortable. If my need to politely accommodate basic bodily functions annoys you, that's too damn bad.

If you're not able to comfortably sit for 3 hours, don't see a show.

Well that's a little ridiculous to say. I can sit comfortably in the same spot for three hours, doesn't mean I won't need a quick bathroom trip during intermission, especially if we've done pre-show dinner or drinks. Should people not see a show if they have to go to the bathroom once in a while?

Going during intermission's not a problem. No one's saying that. But in the middle of the show? Hold it in.
Did you even bother to read before making your snarky comments? My posts were entirely about using the restroom at intermission (and the associated difficulties with lack of facilities).
Bravo to you for bringing this up. Etiquette has been ignored or lost over the past 20 years, and more so in the recent 10. I think that people who don't observe the common rules of theatre. Lutes should be removed from the theater.
Maybe the theaters should adopt policies from United Airlines. Talk during show or tie up bathroom lines will get you dragged out with a bloody face. Little levity folks.
Unfortunately there are too many rude, self absorbed folks in theater.
Saw the closing weekend of Mamma Mia: The Farewell Tour in St. Louis. The show was fun as always but a lady two rows in front of me spent most of the first act on the phone! When an usher finally came over, he pointed out that she was on the phone and was not supposed to be, to which she rudely replied "So?!" , he then informed her that if she wanted to keep talking, she had to take it to the lobby. She then said "No, I'll just put it up". I wanted to take her phone and smash it against the theater wall. Her sense of entitlement was sickening.
