Movie nights should be enjoyable for everyone.

In this story, a man invited friends over to watch a movie with his blind dad.

They used an audio-description track so his dad could follow the important visual details.

But one friend kept talking over the dialogue and adding his own descriptions.

Uh oh! That sounds annoying. Check out the full details below.

AITA for telling my friend to stop describing a movie to my blind dad?

I (27M) invited a few friends over to watch a movie with my dad (58M), who is blind.

We use the audio-description track, so a narrator explains the important visual details between lines of dialogue.

My friend Jonathan (28M) had never watched a movie with us before and kept adding his own descriptions.

Sometimes, he was talking over the dialogue and spoiling things seconds before they happened.

This man paused the movie and told his friend his dad didn’t need any additional storytelling.

My dad politely told Jonathan that the movie was already being described and asked him to stop.

Jonathan laughed and said the official narrator was missing details, then continued.

After another interruption, I paused the movie and told him that Dad had already asked him to stop.

I told him he needed to respect that.

Jonathan left, and the rest of the night felt awkward.

Jonathan left before the movie ended, saying he clearly wasn’t welcome anymore.

My dad was relieved that the interruptions stopped, but the rest of the night felt awkward.

Nobody really talked about it. I still think Jonathan should have listened the first two times.

Though I’m wondering if the way I said it made the situation worse than it needed to be.

AITA?

Yikes! Somebody needs to learn respect.

OP was right to step in after his dad had already asked Jonathan to stop.

Jonathan was actually given more than enough chances to respect the movie and let the official narrator do its job.
