I'm not giving up my seat

@MeanOldLady

Did we ever find out what movie it was?

Y’know? I was gonna say that it’s not relevant…but I thought of one situation where it really, truly is. If she’s at a normal movie, the pouty shit she spewed is obviously unreasonable.

But if she was at a porno, say, Prehistoric Ass-Pounding III: The Flintbones in Hard-As-Rock Cafe, Rock Vegas Style, she’s perfectly right to want to refuse to give up her buffer zone. Per Emily Post, it’s de rigueur to insist on a buffer zone at a porno, unless one wishes to become…friendlier.

So mademoiselle, what’d you go see? Was it Backdoor Sluts 9? or what? Because if it was, I think most of your detractors will change their tune pretty damn toot sweet.

Yes or no question… were 3D glasses involved in the viewing of this movie? Whether or not there were, would you feel that would be a mitigating factor with this kind of situation? I can tell you that I’ve sat in the front 5 rows for a 3D movie (Avatar, 3rd row, I believe) and it sucked balls.

I find it interesting that mademoiselle avoided answering this.

Apparently it equals a definitive statement in MOL’s world.

Here you go, MOL. I got this from those dickheads over at Oxford.

mademoiselle [ˌmædmwəˈzɛl (French) madmwazɛl]
n pl mesdemoiselles [ˌmeɪdmwəˈzɛl (French) medmwazɛl]

1. a young unmarried French girl or woman: usually used as a title equivalent to Miss
2. a French teacher or governess

Are you a young unmarried French girl or woman? Or maybe a French teacher or governess?

It’s kind of odd - one doesn’t really trump the other. They operate in overlapping ranges and it’s up to people to negotiate them without an established guidebook. Some are better at it than others. Some get all worked up, anxious, angry and intransigent about the whole process.

Perhaps she did. So what? As Shakespeare said, “One may smile and smile and be a villain.”

I’m not calling her actions villainous. I’m just noting that one may commit a rude behavior while otherwise being nice about it.

Young - check.
Unmarried - check.

Are you a Bob Ducca? Please submit your stats to giraffe, if so. We need to confirm it, and all.

No, it was not 3D.

There you go, Bob. I am sure your life has been changed by that information.

Well, since you asked. Here’s a list of all my ailments.

Young - check.

29? Sure, we’ll let you call yourself “young” I guess.

You’re right. While in the company of 15 year olds, 29 is downright ancient.

If I go into a public restroom to take a dump, and a guy knocks on the stall door while I’m grunting and asks me to move so he can shit next to his friend, I’d refuse to move. Am I inconsiderate?

Finally, an analogy that perfectly encapsulates the issue in the OP. Well done, sir.

Have you already begun your shit, or are you still waiting for it to get started?

I’ve done my part; someone else is going to have fill in that particular blank.

According to Miss Manners, “Unless you honestly are going to blow out your o-ring, grunting, yelling or other demonstrations while taking a shit in a public restroom is very poor form.”

So, yes.

Whats wrong with you? It’s a societal expectation you would hurry up! Get out of there, and Lysol the bathroom for him too, you unsocialized dickhead asshole dog cunt!
