MISSING MANNERS

Recently we attended a concert at the Universal Amphitheater and we were surrounded by talkers and smokers. Why these people pay good money to talk through a concert is beyond me. But could they please do it somewhere else? Some of us actually buy concert tickets to hear the concert.

We asked the smoker to put out his cigarette since it was a nonsmoking auditorium, and he wanted to fight over it. I had to get an usher, who escorted him outside to finish smoking. When he returned he had the nerve to ask for our binoculars. Did I miss something here?
