No. I have already stated that I have sat in the row in question, and it is comfortable.
Haha about the models.
I read about that subway incident. It teeters between bizarre and horrible.
Girl, I feel covered in a viscous layer of glurge, but I could not agree with you more here. Sometimes, to do something nice for someone else will put me out a great deal. And, of course, I often still do it. And sometimes, my pride or my principles prevent me from doing something nice when I know I should. So whenever I get the opportunity to do something nice that costs me little to no effort, I try to jump all over that. Over compensate for the times when I’m just a giant non-contributing suck on society.
Bullshit. Nzinga never gives up her seat.
Good point. And there were tons of previews.
That was you?
Oh, no – I was there Saturday. When we four, wife, granddaughter and a friend got on the train home, there were only 3 seats together and I was fine to stand. When I turned around, a single got up from his seat across from his family to join them, freeing up the perfect two facing two for us. Very nice. Many of us NYers are.
I would move over a seat. And they should not have made a fuss when their request was denied other than some head shaking, IMO.
I am little confused by this, but I am guessing it is the dyslexia.
I have move on the subway, many times, usually without being asked. I have never asked someone to move.
I can’t believe that theatres there don’t have assigned seating. I haven’t been to a theatre without assigned seating in more than a decade. Seems kinda backwards to me in this day and age.
Most of the time here, you choose you seats when buying tickets.
That said,
In a free seating situation, the OP absolutely should have moved over, and it was rude not to.
Even in an assigned seating situation, I personally would also have moved over.
If I were the new couple, I probably would just have taken the two empty “buffer” seats. I’ve never really felt that it was all that important to sit together at the movies. You’re not supposed to be talking to each other anyway.
(There are of course some circumstances where sitting together is better, but for the average mindless action movie, what difference does it make?)
Well, I do this thing where I order a large bucket of popcorn and cut a little hole in the bottom. Trust me, it’s really better for everyone if I sit next to my wife.
Your posts are doing you damage. You started out asking who was in the wrong. You are now “revising”, and by doing so you strengthen my feeling (shared by others) that you shaped - and are shaping - what you tell us about the incident to try to rationalise your actions.
If the OP had wide enough shoulders to provide her with an excuse for not moving, we would have heard that excuse by now. Don’t you think?
Indeed.
Necessary? This entire forum is unnecessary.
But, the “sorry that you think” thing is something that annoys me. I find it as annoying as the OP found the request to move annoying. Thus my motivation to post.
Very well said, but honestly, I would be a little harder on the OP than that. She was just being an asshole because she could. But she knew that, hence the OP.
No, I said:
I did not say “was I wrong?” I don’t think I was wrong, so I did not ask that.
I have not changed from my OP. In fact, I have reposted parts of my OP several times (like right now), to reiterate my points.
I am actually tall with a large frame (and wide shoulders! gasp!), but that is moot, and has nothing to do with this. They are not so wide to affect me in this particular incident.
That said, I appreciate wolfman’s comments.
How many seats are in a row, 20? So there’s 100 empty seats at the front of the theater and probably more scattered around the behind. It was rude of them to ask in the first place.
Yes, you were asking our opinions as to who we thought was in the wrong. If you were completely certain, why would you even ask? If someone punched you in the face for no reason would you start a thread asking who was in the wrong? No. You know that your actions were questionable.
Yes, not to mention that rewarding rude people encourages them to be continue to be rude.
For the sake of conversation, that’s why. Do you not have any curiosity in you at all?
Next time, I will state in my OP. “I stand by what I did, and I still believe it to be right”. Just to make sure everything is crystal clear. :rolleyes:
THIS. I am not going to reward the douchebaggery of the world.
Sure. I regularly start threads like “Jews, Hitler and the Holocaust - who was in the wrong there?”
