I wonder what kind of dyslexia allows one to write 100 almost perfect posts in this thread but continually make the same simple grammar mistake over and over again?
Well OP, I don’t think you did anything wrong, but I don’t think you did anything right either.
One where I slow down once I realize I’m making errors, and then check and re check.
Notice all the posts I’ve edited? That’s when I have gone back to fix writing errors.
Please stop being unkind when I am trying.
Do they do it in the middle of a sketch?
Okay. Without trying to make this a bigger clusterfuck than it already is, I didn’t think you were making those arguments. However, your post cake somewhat close to mine and made light of my amusement without touching on the issues I brought up at the same time. You had every right to do that, but I didn’t understand why you took one tact without the other, which is what resulted in me asking.
Is that clear as mud now? ![]()
Anyway, I did know about the colloquial uses of girl. I thought you were playing, so I played along back. Sorry again for any misunderstanding. Eek!
faithfool, we are on the same page now. I was just having fun and I wasn’t really arguing your points. I just get giddy when a thread pays off like this one.
I can’t decide if post cake would be a delicious dessert or fencing material.
To me, it’s just another name for ice cream.
Nzinga, we’re all good. That’s the reason I picked you as one of the three Dopers I’d like to hang with. You crack me up.
Great idea, isn’t it?![]()
It is time to add some kind of system like this or even require everyone to book seats beforehand.
it’s mademoiselle and Anonymous User repeated 20 times each
No, yeah, you’ve been a total ass to many opposing posters in this thread with no provocation. It’s pretty freaky.
And you say, I took the “wrong” position. You are assuming we are wrong. MOL is probably pissed because you still don’t understand that it is common courtesy to optimize row
And you say, I took the “wrong” position. You are assuming we are wrong. MOL is probably pissed because you still don’t understand that it is common courtesy to optimize row usage. That is why she has started to swear. And it is the pit; what do you expect?
Complaining that MeanOldLady is a mean old lady…
You were perhaps confused by the user name? 
Sorry for the incomplete post. My phone service is terrible here so it messed up.
…some kind have system…
FTFY.
For me the hardest part to believe is that there were five empty rows, no issues with the view from there, and a late comer wanted to sit in the middle of a row.
Interestingly an acquaintance had a similar issue at a concert. When going out at intermission they had to pass by the person they did not move for. They refused to let them by. It escalated and the police made arrests. Not a close enough acquaintance that I have a final disposition.
So…you’re trolling. What an admirable person you are. I hope to one day reach your standards.
Thanks for explaining how the board works as a whole. Will you be passing out pamphlets next?
Row optimization only needs to take place once all the rows are full. Since there were five wide-open rows ahead of the OP, it was gauche of the interloping couple to demand that she move around in her row. Combine this with the fact that the movie had already started, and you have what amounts to a flagrant tipoff that the people making the “request” are total buttholes and don’t deserve the courtesy one would normally afford a stranger.
Yes, you have taken a very silly position, perhaps in keeping with this Socratic thing that you’ve been on about lately. Nevertheless, you’ve conducted yourself with aplomb and have not felt the need to shout vulgarities at people who merely disagree with you.
Finally, while verbal abuse is mostly allowed in this forum, yelling at people for no reason makes you look like a lunatic here just as much as it does anywhere else. And actually, MeanOldLady’s last response to me was technically against the Pit rules. So there.
