lurkerism

The tendency to stay on after a movie ends, all the way till the movie credits end, just o make sure the person "doesn't miss anything" like Marvel and DC studio (stupid) after-credit scenes.

I like being a movie usher except for all the damned lurkerism. I just want to clean the damned theater.
