Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : Hi AITA,

Roommate has been praising this sub to me all week so I figured "I know how this may go, but I want the fine folks of reddit to nail it down for me."  He was there and can back up the truthiness (Hi roommate probably reading this)

I was in an IMAX viewing of the film First Man with my roommate, both of us are dudes (important later). As the opening moments roll I see that the woman next to me is on the phone. I'm one that always gives the benefit of the doubt because I too have had the last minute "oh crap my phone is not silent" feels and had to take care of that after the lights have dimmed. So I just shrugged that off and didn't screen look to judge. A few minutes later about the time Neil bounces off the atmosphere and has to make a crazy landing, out comes the phone and clearly a messaging app appears. In what I hoped was a nice low whisper I said "Ma'am please put that away." and don't feel I was incorrect for doing so after the second appearance. Her response was "... Really?" 

I replied with "Yes." 

"Ugh... idiot."

That one threw me a bit. I replied with "Well I could ask the ushers..."

"My uncle is in the hospital." &lt;-  This line was said such that I only gave it a 20% chance that it was true. 1) If you care about who is in hospital you ought to maybe not ditch and see a movie (if he's local) and 2) if it's so important take yourself to the sides where you won't be interrupting folks' movie and make extended phone time for calls or texts. I gave an "I'm sorry" that sounded to be like "Sorry for your uncle" and not "sorry for asking you to put your phone away in a dark theater." I then move my drink between my legs and give her the arm rest as a subtle polite move. I also thought maybe it would keep my drink from "accidentally" spilling. 

So, the movie goes on. The film is kinda dramatic and tense at times in the wild world of space but it's peppered with humor so it works really well to draw a laugh. For example this speech is in there and I gave a chuckle [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\_RaRC6YuYCQ&amp;ab\_channel=bazi](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RaRC6YuYCQ&amp;ab_channel=bazi) 

Every time I would chuckle she wouldn't side eye me- she would turn her whole dang head and stare at me. This happened at least 4 times after I first noticed it. Could have been more. The previous mentioned drink was an ice cold coke zero (delicious). The carbonation got to me and I had what I'd call a 1 out of 10 of a belch (mouth closed, milliseconds long ). She turned to me again: "Scuse you." I didn't thank her. I was that moment out of drink so I would not have the opportunity to be scused again as it was down to 4 or 5 ice chunks. Lucky me.

Here's my AITA judgement zone:

End credits roll  and the lights come up. She reaches in her bag, jacks the phone brightness up to max, and promptly places it 3 inches from my face and asks "Is this bright enough for you?" Within a beat the top was off my cup and ice landing on her lap. That interrupted the word "you" and she leaped to her feet knocking my drink with a slap then following up with one to my face nearly knocking off my specs. Mind you I train martial arts so I have been hit harder and I just smiled/laughed. She started pointing at me and my roommate and gave a "You and your little boyfriend" and my roommate was like "You don't have to be a d\*ck and a bigot" then as she was yelling at me and retreating the usual "you don't know who you're messing with etc." while fleeing I just said OK and my roommate followed up with "You're a bigoooot." I never reacted to her other than the ice (no liquid) and the sarcastic "ok" to her empty threats.

So fine folks of reddit. AITA?
