This is a serious thread? I mistook the emoticon for winking, and thought we’d all been whooshed. Upon further inspection it appears to be tears…?
Grow up!
REVERSE OP.
The movie theatre isn’t near me, so it’s easier to buy tickets online, which needs a credit card. I offered to front it so we all got tickets at the same time because my friends are retarded monkeys who would forget. Anyway, one friend wasn’t sure if her boyfriend and roommates were going to come, and I nagged her for about 4 days to find out, and finally I just went ahead and got the tickets for the people I knew for sure were coming because we were running out of time.
Well, of course, now someone wants to go who didn’t respond in time and is emo about not being able to go. SUCK IT. IF YOU REALLY WANTED TO GO, YOU WOULD HAVE SAID SOMETHING EARLIER. Of course it’s sold out now!
C’mon, admit it. You didn’t really every consider including PSXer because of the whole popcorn stealing thing. Right?
I wouldn’t have minded, except last time he tried to reach over into my lap to get some popcorn he ended up cupping my balls.
For twenty minutes.
Once is enough of that.
Enjoy,
Steven
Yeah, I’m sure you would want him to finish up a bit quicker than that.
I dunno, if I was a dude and going to a movie with copious amounts of Alan Rickman and Jason Isaacs I wouldn’t mind it taking that long.
Besides, it means I get the popcorn bucket because he’s busy.
It didn’t have a happy ending.
Enjoy,
Steven
Were they popcorn sized? If so, I can understand the confusion. 
ok guys I am 20 and in my third year of college, so it is too late to meet new people. I am stuck with the people I already know, for I am too shy to make new friends.
Sure I can see the movie another time, and I plan to. That’s not the point. I just wanted to be included in something. People are always doing things and not telling me. I would have paid for my ticket if they had told me when they were all preordering them.
Also I never actually took empty popcorn boxes out of the trash and used them to get free refills. In fact, I very rarely see movies at the theater. Except the small little theater I go to sometimes that plays old movies, and does not offer free refills on popcorn anyway. I try not to get food at the theater for it is too expensive.
Semi-serious answer, feel free to ignore if it doesn’t apply to your situation.
I am a social person who loves to be included and invited and gets a bit hurt when left out. High school, college, graduate school were like that for me- I had nice friends and we did stuff together, but only really when I was included in someone else’s action.
Looking back on it, I find my biggest fault was rarely being the person who initiated. Picking up the phone and inviting others to go out. Hosting the party. Dropping by someone’s dorm room etc. It was the biggest mistake and I am trying to fix it now, in my 40s, with my current batch of friends.
And watching my 15 year old son doing the same mistakes I made.
Sometimes we shyer folks need to make our friends feel like they are wanted by inviting them out. Helping them remember us, by first remembering them.
Like I said, if this isn’t your situation, feel free to ignore. But if it is, try not to make the same mistakes I’m trying to fix now.
- This is not something friends do. They are not your friends. Or it might be better to say, you are not one of their friends. Nothing you can do about that.
- If 20 was too late to make new friends in college, there’d be a huge rash of suicides when people leave college and start their adult life.
You sound really naive. Find some actual friends instead of people who either don’t want you along or don’t remember you well enough to invite you to things.
It may not be that simple. These friends may be more important to him, than he is to them. In his mind they are great friends that do everything together, but to them he is someone who sometimes comes out with them. It doesn’t make them jerks. It just may mean that when PSXer goes out its always with them, but the reverse isn’t always true.
yeah good advice. not going to the movies this one time isn’t a big deal. i just feel like I need my friends more than they need me
It doesn’t have to stay that way. If you want to be better friends with them, you may need to change your approach.
This is totally not true. Join a club, join a study group. There are lots of ways to meet people in college.
Merlin’s beard, you do know it’s showing in more than one theater don’t you? I missed the premier in the new Imax so I opted for a saner time of 11 am the next day. I’m even going in costume (as a muggle).
that’s not the point. i know I can still see the movie. i just wanted to be invited
Oh, that is too sweet.
I knew that. Like I said, it was only a joke that I couldn’t resist. I’d’ve invited you, except that I never really got into those movies. But I’d probably be the guy who would invite you to my room to share a pizza while we watched some old movies. But only if you were bold enough to let me know that you were looking for something to do.
