Getty A Redditor went to the movies to watch the newFinal Destinationfilm with her mom, who loudly screamed during every scare scene Fed up with the noise, the poster covered her mom's mouth mid-movie to avoid more embarrassment Her mom was left furious, saying the movie was ruined, and gave her the silent treatment on the way home A woman turns to Reddit for support after an embarrassing and dramatic trip to the movies with her mother. In a now-viral post, she shares a mortifying experience that unfolded during a screening of the newFinal Destinationfilm. "Today I went to see the newFinal Destinationwith my mom at the movie theater," she writes inher post. "Every time a character was killed, she screamed bloody murder like she had just witnessed the character actually die in front of her." The poster explains that her mom has always had over-the-top reactions to scary movies, even at home. "Every time we've seen a movie where something even slightly scary happens, she gasps super loud or screams at the top of her lungs," she says. Getty While those reactions are fine in a private space, she admits things change in public. "When she does this at movie theaters it's so embarrassing," she writes. Once the movie started, things quickly spiraled. "A character dies and she immediately yells like she's never yelled before," the poster recalls. "I'm leaning away from her out of embarrassment and I swear the lady next to me is glaring at my mom." What began as awkward quickly became unbearable. "Well this happens again and again and again and it gets to a point," she says. In a moment of desperation, she acted. "During the next death, I cover her mouth with my hand and let her scream into it," the poster admits. Her mom didn't take the gesture lightly. "After she's done yelling and realizes that my hand is on her mouth, she pulls my hand off and glares at me," she shares. The tension between them simmered as the film continued. "For the rest of the movie she stays silent and I'm like 'cool, finally,' " the woman writes. "Then we watch the rest of the movie with no other yells from her." But just when the movie ended, the real drama began. "Movie finally ends, we get out of the movie theater, into her car, and she starts yelling at me," she reveals. Her mother accused her of being disrespectful "for putting my filthy hand over her mouth and that I was an a-hole," the poster says. Getty Trying to explain herself, she shared her frustration. "I tell her that every time she screamed like she'd witnessed death in front of her, I got embarrassed and people started looking at us!"

Unfortunately, the conversation didn't go over well. "Now she won't speak to me," the poster writes. "I heard her discussing the movie with my dad and then she mentioned that her experience of the movie was ruined when I put my hand over her mouth." Commenters, however, are backing the poster up. "If she managed to keep her yap shut through the rest of the movie then she's clearly screaming on purpose the rest of the time. Rude as hell to do in a theater. Personally I'd never go to a movie with her again," writes one. Adds another, "So let her be upset. Her experience was ruined to the same extent that she ruined your experience and ruined the experience of every other paying movie-goer." Read the original article onPeople
