Like a hole under a tree to a fairy-obsessed child, every night out at the movies holds the promise of magic and the potential of a bloated, stinking squirrel corpse. And when you find yourself face-to-face with the cinematic equivalent of the latter, there’s no reason to stick around staring at it.
But maybe you don’t have a problem with the squirrel corpse itself. Maybe the squirrel corpse reminds you of a more traumatic squirrel corpse, and although this squirrel corpse is perfectly fine, you just can’t really handle looking at it. Maybe it’s a bunch of other kids, all crowding around and trying to poke it, that ruins the squirrel corpse for you. Okay, this metaphor got away from us…
The point is, there are all kinds of reasons to walk out of a movie. When user The_sweat asked r/AskReddit, “Movie theater goers of Reddit, have you ever walked out during the movie? If so, what movie was it and why did you walk out?” Reddit proved that.
