There is no contesting that the incessant back-pounding, obnoxiously distracting behavior of “The Movie-Seat Kicker” needs to be reprimanded. However, situational factors complicate delivery. First, there’s the movie theater factor. Yes, you are being interrupted by the jerk store behind you, but to breakout into a fiery rage in the middle of the theater is to lower yourself to the culprit’s level and risk having all other movie goers looking to then punch you in the face. Second is the fact that very often, movie-seat kickers are children, which beckons the question, what kind of parent brings a four-year old to a two hour documentary about Cuba? And who deserves the punishment?
In the end, only you can decide how to approach the problem. But, if you’re struggling to find a quiet, yet efficient means of discipline, the right-after-the-credits-start-rolling-dropkick is highly recommended.

Uh oh… thats me
I think the back of movie-theatre seats should be electrified and/or equipped with tazers for the children that like to kick the seats.
That’ll learn em’
Another one that pisses me off totally is the little knob that kicks your seat on an aircraft or pounds on the tray table when it is down.
dude! I totally agree with this one.. PLUS people who still have their feet up on the seat in front of them knowing that there is someone sitting there…. it annoyes the hell out of me
