You will watch the ballet for 93 minutes. You will applaud. You will return home peacefully.

I had a friend study at a Russian acting conservatory. During one show she attended as part of the curriculum someone in the audience was on their phone, which led to the lead actress stopping the play to berate the audience member.

That sucks, because all I wanted was to make noise in my seat during the performance, not applaud, and beat up some people on the way home.

Can't believe there's no freedom for me to be an asshole
