As I got up I looked directly at the two women and said, "Which one of you is wearing perfume so heavy it is making me ill?" Then I moved to another section of the theater. I probably left them both with there mouths hanging open.

I may not have handled that very nicely, but I was just so annoyed!!! People have to be totally oblivious to how offensive strong perfume is.
Reminds me of the time I went to the movies with a friend and the two guys behind us were talking, discussing the movie, while we were all trying to actually watch it. So I turned around and asked them if they knew a good way to sop up the blood clots from an especially heavy menstrual period, and "y'know how it's kinda fishy smelling? Well I heard the vinegar douche is good for that, but I also heard too much douching causes yeast infections and I've had five of those already this year, all that frothing is just SO inconvenient"...and I went on and on until they moved their seats.
