Title text:

You also need to account for where the really tall people are in the row in front of you. Social optimization be damned, I want to see!

And group people based on how loud their snacks are.

Also, am I the only one hating that person who keeps talking how the seating is suboptimal while everyone else tries to watch the movie?
