Yesterday we went to the movies and saw Avatar. I will admit I had no desire to see it at all and neither did Hunter. But one of his friends at school had seen it and told him how awesome it was and I’ve been hearing nothing but good things, so we went. It was an amazing movie! I was shocked at how good it was and that Hunter sat there for the full 2 1/2 hours mesmerized. Seriously, now i know what the hype is all about. If you haven’t seen it yet, you MUST. I can’t wait for it to come out on dvd.
Now onto my complaint.
We went to an early showing, noon, so the theater wasn’t packed at all. So why do people need to sit in the seat right next to me? I realize I probably got the best seats in the theater because I got their early and I’m just good like that. But really? Right next to me? Not even a chair space between us. This happens to be a regular occurrence for me too. I must have a big sign on my forehead that says, “If you don’t sit in the seat next to me I will die,” so people feel compelled to comply for fear that i just might die.
I’m not even kidding when I tell you there were plenty of open seats, the theater was like half full. As a matter of fact the row RIGHT IN FRONT OF US was empty with the exception of 2 people. And two rows behind us were completely empty. Yes, I did look around the theater after they plopped their asses down next to me and took over my arm rest. That’s another thing. Who decides who gets the arm rest? My soda was in that drink holder and i was there first, therefore it should’ve been mine. But i really didn’t feel like getting into an elbow fight with this bitch.
So after looking around the theater and loudly saying to Hunter, “Wow. I’m surprised at how empty the theater is,” I moved my seat to the other side of Hunter to which he said, “How come you’re moving?” Being the bitch that I can be, I replied ” Because those people were practically sitting in my lap.” Now my bitchiness didn’t end there either. Oh noooo. I was a little peeved that I had to move. So Hunter has this cough. Its probably at the tail end of it because you can hear its all broken up and he’s really good about coughing into his elbow. So when he coughed the first time as we were sitting there I said “Ew, face that way,” and pointed in their direction. So throughout the entire movie he would cough into his elbow facing them. Is it bad that I find this to be hilarious? Its not like the kid has TB or anything.
That’ll teach them. Next time at least leave one chair space in between if the theater isn’t full. And whoever is there first gets the armrest. Or if your drink is in the holder, its claimed.

It never fails… if I go out to eat where you can seat yourself, people will sit at every table around me. (If I am seated, I have to ask for “no children” cause I swear they put me right in the childrens section – which drives me insane when I am PAYING someone to watch my OWN children so I can go out to eatr.
No matter where I park – even way out cause I have an Escalade that I BABY and dont want anyone to scratch or whatever… people will park right next to me.
Movie theater – same way.
We just have good pheromones… LMAO
People suck. No one has any manners anymore.
And I would have done the same thing. LOL Cuz I AM a bitch like that.
I would have been pissed if that happened to me. Even if me and my friend Tim go to the movies we do the one seat inbetween rule. Knowing me I would have started something in the movies. Not cool at all they did that to you.
Glad to hear you two enjoyed the movie.
Aren’t people so f*ckin stupid sometimes? I remember once I was in an old fashioned theatre, the kind without stadium seating. I was the ONLY PERSON in there and this couple came and sat right in front of me. Seriously, right in front of me. WTF is that?

Oh wow…that is funny! Maybe people just want to be near you?

Oh geeze what a bunch of losers. I’m glad when we have gone to movies it’s been pretty dead in there so I don’t have to worry about it lol.
You are too funny. That happened to us New Years Day. We saw Alvin & The Chipmunks and we were like 5 out of 15 ppl in the theater and everyone sat in pretty much the same 2 rows… I mean.. MOVE away people! Really!!
I don’t blame you at all. I would have moved as well, I have this thing about sitting next to people I don’t know and unless it was necessary it isn’t going to happen.
Maybe they are just hopping to get to know you better by sitting next to you. You are a gorgeous lady after all.
But Seriously I think its just a lack of manners.
I would have been annoyed as well!
Definitely an invasion of personal space!
