Nzinga, bitching when the people your “comedy” is insulting tell you that you’re not funny seems like rather poor form. And they are correct, I’m afraid: Constantly repeating an insult that you ganked from another user’s post is actually an extremely unfunny thing to do.
What a strange thing to say. Is this also comedy? I miss Mitch Hedberg. 
The only time when someone would choose to sit in the 5 empty front rows is exactly when the theater is “full”. As in “the theater was full so I had to sit in the front”.
It’s a term that is not meant to mean that there are precisely zero seats left.
When there are absolutely zero seats left, that’s called completely sold out.
meaOldLady, I have disagreed with you, but I haven’t once said your position was socially clueless or stupid. You, on the other hand, can’t seem to stop personally insulting me would you please consider acting like a fucking adult?
If you say so, Humpty. That is what you choose it to mean – neither more nor less. I just don’t know whether you can make words mean so many different things …
Curiouser and curiouser this place is … Cheshire humans making Holocaust “jokes” and slowly disappearing leaving no smiles left behind … I must be mad or I wouldn’t have come here.
Brynda she’s too busy masturbating in hope God will kill some kittens to get involved in that sort of mutually consensual activity, even as an act.
Yes I agree. Even though I agree with her, she seems to be taking it so far that she’s broken the Pit rules. People were actually waiting for her to get her Mod note.
MOL, I agree with you, but you should tone down the harshness in your posts.
Are you not going to acknowlge this, raftpeople?
This is only partially correct.
Seriously now, how am I supposed to describe maladjusted behaviors? Am I just not supposed to bring it up? You might not like it, but failure to understand even basic social norms is being socially clueless. I’ll happily admit to not always acting like a grown up (I’ll grow up later), but describing your “Never going to move, no no no! I earned this seat and you can’t have it!” behavior as clueless is just accurate. Part of me wants to say grow thicker skin if this kind of things strikes you as un-adult, but I gotta remember I’m talking to the same person who thinks asking you to please make room so that Bob and Date can sit next to each other is suckering you.
Almost perfect?
It’s “would have” and “could have” (for New Yorkers that’s “woulda” and “coulda”) and you would have more of my sympathy were it not for this repeated error. And I didn’t make it past the first page before my heart palpitations threatened my life.
That you know the correct form makes your continuing misuse all the more egregious. 
Still playing that sympathy card? I’m a pedantic asshole, but you don’t see me begging for sympathy and understanding. 
It seems that whoever originally pegged her as one of those people who act big and bad on the internet to make up for her real life inadequacies had her pegged.
How many times to I have to say I acknowledge my mistakes, apologize, and say I am trying my despite having the issue of dyslexia?
Seriously, lay off already.
Oh not again. We have been through this. She has dyslexia. Are you going to keep embarrassing her like that?
You seem like you’re just looking for reasons to cuss at people.
But my social norm is that you arrive on time and don’t ask others to move unless the theater is full. My understanding of the OP is that it wasn’t full. Ergo, the people who were asking her to move were breaking the social norm I know. You think the social norm you know is the only one, but it isn’t. While you were absent from this thread we had an adult discussion. Why don’t you read it? Once again, no matter how much you call me “dickbreath” your opinion is not the capital T truth.
I know it’s a long thread, but if you don’t care enough to read it, why did you decide to post in it?
So, I went to the movies tonight with my boyfriend. The movie had been on for like 5 minutes, and omg, the only seats left were like a bunch of singles, and like the first section of the theatre where the first 5 rows are. And I didn’t want those seats! I like to sit in the back!
So we see this girl and a guy, up in the back, on the middle right of the row. So I cross over everyone’s knees towards these people. I ask the girl if the seat next her is empty. She says yes. I then ask if the seat next to the guy is free. She says yes again.
I say to her, can you move over? She says “Sorry no”. I am like, “why not? She says she’d rather not move. I am like, “what’s the big deal?!”, and she says, “I’m sorry, no” there are 5 empty rows with lots of seats”. I’m like, “I don’t want those!”
So I walk back to the aisle, where my boyfriend is waiting. I tell him that she said no. He says “I’ll handle this.” so he walks across those people again, and I am not sure what happened next, because the movie was so loud, but in the end, he was yelling " what’s your fucking problem! I don’t want those fucking seats down there!"
Her boyfriend says something, and my boyfriend comes back, and says they won’t fucking move. So I say to him, “well, let’s sit there anyway”. So I sit in the seat on the side of her boyfriend. Then my boyfriend comes and stands inform of me, blocking the people behind me, but fuck them. Then some people on the other side move over so we can sit in the seats we want, finally!
I can’t remember if the movie was any good, because I was texting throughout.
Don’t tell me you would not have eaten someone alive if they had posted that.
Right, they could have moved to the seats in the very front that nobody wants to sit in because they’re so close to the screen that you have to sit with your eyes crossed for 90 min (which is why nobody was in them), or they could get some reasonable, comfortable seats next to each other if you’d just move over one lousy seat. Right. We’ve gone over this a jillion times, and while I like repeating myself as much as the next gal, I think I’m going to stop now. Btw, I love your characterization of me constantly insulting you. I don’t even know you are. Your username has never been one I’ve noticed until yesterday. The only person I called a dickface, dickhead, dickbreath or whatever, was colander, and even then, my heart wasn’t in it. I just called him a dickhead (or whatever term I used) because I call people that when they say something dickheaded. But, I mean, it’s already clear that you’re one who feels like you’re being victimized even when you’re not.
Just for fun, here’s a convo I had with a friend of mind who used to post here. Like, real friend. We talk and have hung out and shit. Cool guy, healthy social life, and so on. I’ll put this in spoilers as it takes up a lot of space. NO, this doesn’t prove anything, but it makes me giggle, so here we go.
[spoiler]Me
omg… ZOMG
i have an sdmb moment that i need to share with a normal person
and the only normal person i know who is actually familiar with the board
8:06pm
Friend
delicious
8:09pm
Me
a’ight
you’re at the movies, it’s pretty full, there aren’t any seats left except the cross-eyed seats in the front
some people come in 5 min late, look through the theatre, see there are no seats except the ones in the very front, and ask you and the wife lady if you can scoot down one so the couple can sit next to each other
what do you do?
8:10pm
Friend
uhhh scoot down one
8:10pm
Me
NO FUCKING SHIT!
GOD!!![/spoiler]
You would have, mademoiselle, but not by the same people.
Colander, nice try, but the meme is out of the bag. I promise you someone has probably already used it in another thread. Just learn to laugh at yourself and let it go.
Could somebody explain to me how dyslexia leads to the mix up of “have” and “of”? I thought it had more to do with mixing up letters/numbers causing difficulty with reading and writing (and 'rithmetic) but I wasn’t aware of its effects on basic grammar.
I would have thought the boyfriend was being a macho fool.
Mean old lady, do you have Tourette’s? Who made you the boss of deciding what is socially acceptable?
