18" mohawk in a movie theatre?!

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

…so there I was, with The Fiance on a well-deserved Date Night at the movie theatre to see THE ONLY SHOWING of a low-budget zombie movie that was filmed by local guys around our fair city. I had been looking forward to this all week. We got there early to score a good seat in a middle row near the back. The theatre filled up fast (sold out, actually) and everything was great until this ASSHOLE WITH 18" MOHAWK SPIKES sat down DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF US. The girl behind me goes, “Who the hell puts up a mohawk to go to the movie theatre?!” and the guy just laughed. Douche.

I literally got poked in the head when I reached to get my drink off the floor. It wasn’t so bad when he was facing straight forward, but he spent most of the movie making out with his girlfriend so I ended up watching pretty much the whole movie through this asshole’s mohawk spikes. Put your hands together, splay your fingers, then look at everything through that. That’s what it was like.

Thank goodness the movie was good fun (for being a super-low-budget zombie movie) but I would have enjoyed it way more if this inconsiderate douchebag had left his hair down for one night or thought to get there early enough to get a seat in the back row.

(Thank you for letting me vent.)

Has something like this ever happened to you guys?

The primary data point I have for this situation is a guy named (well, not named. Called.) Rooster who I knew when I was about 18. He had a huge mohawk. It was kept up with superglue and not the kind of thing you could disassemble easily. Or at all.

He should have sat behind everyone else, though, for sure.

That’s what theater managers are for. You paid to see the movie and Spartacus needs to go.

Could you have thrown popcorn at it and see if you could get any kernals to stick to the spikes?

Seriously, I agree–Mohawk Dude was inconsiderate and rude.

Carry scissors.

I can already imagine if said person behind Mohawk dude were Gary Larson…

“In a theatrical twist of fate…Mohawk dude sits in front of Eddie (Scissor Hands) Boggs” :eek:
