Good God. Now I am lying about dyslexia.
I remember the day I found out I had it. I was ashamed, and felt like there was something wrong with me.
I now tell people, apologize, and say I am trying my best.
But, I don’t have after all! An anonymous person on the internet said so! Woo-hoo, drinks for all!
Heee! I just got back and I see it has grown some. I haven’t read the rest of it yet, but John T I got my lemon tea and I am about to get reading!
Haha at you moviehouse tough guys calling us punks and sissies for extending everyday civilized courtesies.
Our hero is no Rosa Parks but she surely doesn’t deserve a 10 page pitting. Alexander the Great did much, much worse what with his fancy hat and all.
Well at least I renounced my complaints about your grammar quite soon after my OP of your pitting.
MOL, thanks for explaining how I feel in a much better way.
Colander, I am not taking the wrong position on this issue, but the one that disagrees with you. There is a difference.
OP, had you put in almost zero effort to move, everything could have gone peacefully, and you would have felt satisfied for doing something nice.
I know that I try to seize every opportunity to be courteous in public because not only do you make others happy, but you get that sense of satisfaction which feels good.
Hey, I did say only probably-fake. The nice thing is that you can play the martyr either way.
Truly, your wisdom and magnanimity is an example to us all.
I’m from a small city in Ohio, and I agree with gigi – I can’t imagine ever bothering someone like that after the movie had already begun. Especially when there were plenty of open seats, even if they were closer to the front. I don’t take my shoes off, but if I’ve got a coat on my lap and a purse on the floor and maybe a box of popcorn in my hand – and a movie already playing in front of me, I really really don’t want to move and re-settle. I want to watch the movie!
The saddest thing for me about this thread is that there have been a few posters I previously thought were pretty good who have now shown me just how wrong I was.
Hey, wait just a cotton pickin’ moment… was this movie a porno?
After reading this thread:
I think your responses include a great deal of projection.
I love this thread. Ten pages of frothing at the mouth about gun control or whatever stupid thing Republicans or Democrats have done this week just makes me tired. I can’t cope with it.
Ten pages on whether or not someone was being a douchebag at the movie theater, though? Rock and roll, baby. Let’s do this thing.
I’ve been sick today, and stuck at home. This thread is the best thing that’s happened to me since I fell ill.
This isn’t about me; it is about you. I have learned from many of my mistakes.
If you had bothered to read even the first few pages of this thread, you would have found that I clearly said that I am not mentioning my dyslexia for sympathy, but just as an explanation. I then apologized for writing errors, and said I am trying my best.
But then you could not have had as much fun with your snap judgments, could you. :rolleyes:
Leather jackets… pomade pompadours piled high… Sno-Caps rattling in the pockets of their 501s… yeah, I know the type.
The ones who would move without a complaint?
The truth seems to be otherwise.
For the last seven years, every cinema I’ve been to has had assigned seating: you select your seat when you purchase the ticket. I now see the genius of that policy.
How so?
Exactly. This would make things just so much better.
Perhaps if you had read some of my posts, you’d realize I was born without a sense of decency. It’s been a long, painful struggle and I only mention it so you’ll realize that I’m trying my best.
Yet, here you are judging me and making me feel bad. :rolleyes:
