Ugh!<BR/><BR/>I myself sat through the Swedish vampire flic "Let The Right One In" recently at Lagoon behind a guy who constantly kept pulling out his phone and text messaging so that the bright screen light distracted me as it burned into my retinas thus causing me to lose bits of the film - which was in Swedish - with subtitles - and although I could understand some of it without reading the subtitles, I still had to ultimately rely on them to follow the storyline. I almost reached across the row ahead of me to rap him on his head, but then opted not to. It's getting so you don't even want to go to the theatre anymore as theatre etiquette and common courtesy have apparently gone out the window. I guess if you complained to the theatre manager about the scene, they would most likely have given you a free pass to come back and try it again without the distracting drunken kids. But of course, you'd most likely have another distracting scenario unfold the next time anyway.<BR/><BR/>People, by MN law, are supposed to give way to public transit for obvious safety reasons, and rightfully so. But I see people cutting off busses, turning 'right' in front of busses at stops, and laying on their horns at busses that have the legal right-of-way all the time. Those people are idiots. But then to have a bus driver respond that way to one of those idiots really goes against the whole safety reason why public transit is given the legal right-of-way in the first place.<BR/><BR/>First, let me just say I started to chuckle as I read "I sat behind a chubby," because I'm a perv. :) Second, I get annoyed with people that overindulge in their PDA too. When I was in LA waiting to get into a club downtown, a small group of 16-19-year-old kids and a mother in her upper 40s got in the line in front of me as I walked up to it after falling out drunk from a limo that drove them in from Orange Co. The mother was chaperoning her 17-yo daughter and the daughter's friends including two other girls (16 & 19), a gay 17-yo boy, and the daughter's 18-yo boyfriend. To get to the point of it, I stood behind them and watched the gay boy make out with the girl's boyfriend, then the boyfriend and the girlfriend making out and I was like 'Okay! Whatever! Kids!' But then the upper 40s mother of this girl started making out with her daughter's boyfriend too! And right in front of me, inches away, this 18-yo boy had his hand down the front of his girlfriend's mother's jeans and was literally fingering her so she was moaning and making out with him and moaning until the daughter/girlfriend said 'Oh my god! My mom is making out with my boyfriend. Moooom! Stop making out with my boyfriend!' She grabs her boyfriend away from her mother and then starts making out with him. Then mom, steps up to them and starts trying to wedge herself in while saying 'Let me have some of that.' and manages to push her daughter off and starts in tonguing her daughter's 18-yo boyfriend again. The boyfriend is just happy as a clam. I was just annoyed and dumbfounded and ready to call Jerry Springer.olehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04157276611661121231noreply@blogger.com
