A woman took her daughter to a children's movie and noticed a man in the theater, watching the film while 'munching on snacks'
The woman took to a popular community forum to ask if others thought the man's behavior was 'odd'
The vast majority of commenters said they thought the woman was being extremely judgmental and that she should 'live and let live'A woman voiced concern after seeing a man attend a children's movie on his own, but people on the Internet think she needs an attitude adjustment.
The woman shared her experience in the 'Am I Being Unreasonable?' forum on Mumsnet.com, a U.K.-based community site where women can seek advice from other women. In her brief post — which she wrote from the theater — the woman said that she was currently watching the new live-action Lilo and Stitch with her daughter.
Her issue? There was a guy there, apparently by himself, 'munching on snacks.'
'Is this odd?' she asked her fellow community members, adding, 'Is it just me?'
The vast majority of commenters said that they considered the woman's post to be judgmental and unnecessary.

'Man watches film alone whilst eating snacks - normal. Someone goes to the cinema with their child and sits on their phone b------- about the other cinema goers - you're the weird one,' one person said.
'I don't think it's weird, I always go to the cinema on my own — not to kids films granted, but maybe he really likes Disney.'
'Not remotely weird. Probably a cinema pass owner who goes to whatever happens to be on. What a strange thing to be judgmental about," another wrote.
Another person said, 'Live and let live. Maybe it holds special memories for him because of his grown children, maybe he knows someone in the film, maybe he's a journalist or maybe he just wanted to go to the cinema on his day off.'
The same person added, 'There are so many depressing things going on around the world, let a man enjoy a film without fear of judgement and be grateful you have your daughter to share these experiences with.'
