A WOMAN who works in a cinema has revealed some of the most ridiculous questions she gets asked by customers.
She said rarely a day goes by that she's not asked one of the queries, and added that the ones she's detailed are the "tamer" ones.
In a video on TikTok, the woman – who works at a Movie House cinema in Northern Ireland – shared: "Things people say to us working in a cinema."
She kicked off with one she's heard multiple times – a parent asking if they can take their six-year-old into a film that's got a 15 certificate.
"No!" is the answer to that one.
She's also asked if she just "sits and watches movies all day for work", to which she replied: "I wish!"

And while it seems absurd, she's also had people ask her: "I didn't enjoy that movie, can I have my money back?"
"No, you chose to see it," is her usual response.
But one question she does answer affirmatively is whether or not she gets to watch all of the films for free, as a perk for working there.
The comments section was quickly filled with people weighing in, with many admitting they could relate to the video.
