A movie theater in Austin, Texas is putting a woman's angry voicemail to good use.
The woman in question was kicked out of the cinema after receiving two warnings about texting during a movie, according to The Hollywood Reporter. She was so angered by this treatment that she called up the cinema and left a furious voicemail regarding her ejection.
The Alamo Drafthouse theater then decided to take the voicemail and make it into a public service announcement, warning others about texting during a film.
A blog post on the Alamo Drafthouse's website read: "Recently, we had a situation where a customer persisted in texting in the theater despite two warnings to stop. Our policy at that point is to eject the customer without a refund, which is exactly what went down that night."
The post continued: "Luckily, this former patron was so incensed at being kicked out, she quickly called the office and left us the raw ingredients for our latest 'Don't Talk or Text' PSA."
The spot now airs before all R-rated movies in the cinema.
