A question about etiquette at the theatre?

You were at fault by being out in public around other people.

Everyone has an over-inflated sense of entitlement. They think they are the most important person in the room and everyone else come's a distant second to their wants and demands. You were at fault by being a polite person in an impolite world. You 'wronged' someone. It doesn't matter that it was a complete accident. It doesn't matter that you apologized. It doesn't matter that you replaced the drink you spilled. All people see nowadays is the initial 'wronging'. And the hold you responsible for it no matter what good you do to rectify the matter.

You did everything right. Sometimes ppl are just nauseating. She's going to act like that with the wrong person who isn't going to give a flying crap about theatre etiquette and she's going to find her butt in a cast (literally)when somebody kicks the bone out of it.

Staff should have put HER out. Drinks and all..

Some people are simply rude and have no manners and take the smallest thing as a 'slight'. OK I would have initially been annoyed that you spilled my drink but as you apologised and replaced it, I would have said thank you and left it as that. As would a majority of other people.

I wouldnt waste another brain cell dwelling on this, im quite sure she's forgotten about you - forget about her

I am sorry to disagree with u, but if someone spilled my drink ON MY LAPS and spoiled my expensive outfit I would be pissed like hell and no amount of bought drinks would help. of course her behaviour was not acceptable either - if she were unhappy she should have asked u to pay for her dry cleaning. all in all - I was not there, I did not hear her side of the story, I can not comment

PS. also where I am from all food and drinks are forbidden inside, if people want to drink and eat they do it in a theatre's cafeteria or restaurant during the break or before. obviously for that particular reason - someone can spill someone else's drink and spoil the whole evening. drinks and food are also forbidden on public transport, the same reason

You did nothing wrong. You were kind enough replace her drink to make the situation better despite it being an accident.

She sounds downright rude & an angry person in general. Her actions make no sense. Plus she sounds a bit crazy.

You weren't, there was no reason for her to act the way she acted, but unfortunately that doesn't stop people.
