At The Movies
My brother-in-law is a really soft-spoken guy who keeps to himself. That said, he’s also huge. In addition, he’s covered in tattoos on his head, neck, everything. So you can imagine he’s a pretty intimidating guy, which is why his soft voice and very chill demeanor can be surprising. We were in a movie theater enjoying a flick when the kids behind us started acting up and throwing popcorn, talking, and generally making a ruckus.
My brother-in-law stood up, turned around, and asked them to quiet down since they disturbed everyone else. They behave for fifteen minutes but then slowly start acting up again. He stood up without a word, grabbed the lead instigator, lifted him out of his chair one-handed, pulled him in close, and yelled, “shut up.” And sits him back down gently. The rest of the movie was very peaceful.
