Crazy Douche Bags who think they are entilted to shit...

[vesaker]

OK so i was at a sneak preview of Iron Man last night and let me tell you, there are some ignorant fucks out there.

Here's the situation, i got my pass from my bro inlaw who works for an Ad agency that handles alot of the movie adds in the news papers here in Toronto. I get my pass and notice that not only are these tickets 716 & 717 but that it says right on it that seating is not garenteed. I guess they give out way more then the capacity as not every single one will get redeemed and they want to be sure to fill the place which is fine cause they warn you about it right on the ticket.

So me an my friend get there with about an hour and a half to spare and theres only one other person waiting in line so we tour around for a bit then come back to meet my sister adn bro inlaw and we end up like 10th in line and get pretty good seats. Now the show was to start at 7:00 but didn't cause they were still trying to find seating for a couple of scragglers, which is fine.

But then its gets to like 7:15 and new ppl are still showing up! I'm not talking about ppl who already have a seat saved for them cause they were at the consession, i'm talking ppl who are actaully arriving to the sneak peak later then its schedualed to start and still expect there to be seat free! Where is the logic in this????

But oh wait, its gets better!

Its now 7:25 and theres this one last couple that shows up and the chick decides to cause a fucking scene cause theres no seats left...... for a show that didn't garentee her a seat..... that was schedual to start 25 minutes before they walked into the theater...... and this chick still has the nerve to cause a stink!!!

It is now 7:45 and this chick is still here causing a fuss and is now essentually holding up the movie and now has atleast 1/2 the theater yelling out at her to get the hell out so the movie can start.

The staff even located 2 empty seats for the couple but they weren't side by side so that wasn't good enough! She just kept yelling at the crowd to make room for her and her husbands late asses! I mean fuck, theres 2 seats right there so what if you can't sit next to each other? You're there to see the movie and if you really wanted to sit together you could i dunno show up before it starts?!?!?!

Finally she storms out and my god the cheer that rose up in that theater was almost deafening! I mean i can totally understand why she's compainling if:

1. She paid for the ticket
2. The ticket was free but garenteed seating
3. Showed up before it was to start and waited in line like everyone else

But non of those 3 criteria were met so can't even being to fathom how she could have thought she was entitled to a seat or could have any kind of valid argument to bring up to the management. I mean if i don't know any better then i can make an ass of myself just as much as the next guy but if i know that i have no case i don't try to make one, its just that simple.

On a side note one funny situation involved one friend ditching his buddy for one of the last single seats and his buddy just shaking his fist at the friend and calling him a bastard, lol.

I've always had a big problem with people who cant tell time, nor get to places on time. I went to the Cubs/Brewers game with friends last night, and we had bleacher tickets. Knowing that the bleachers are first come first serve, we got to the park 3 HOURS ahead of when the gates actually open. The game started at 7pm central, and the gates open at 5pm. We got there at 2pm. So technically we were there 5 hours before game time. We got to the bleachers entrance and we werent even first in line. There were 2 Brewers fans in front of us, that had already been there about an hour. Shortly after we got in line 2 girls got in line behind us, and there ended up being 7 of us total, waiting for 3 hours for the gates to open. We all hit it off, took turns saving each others places in line if we had to run off to the bathroom or something, or if we wanted to play catch out in the street....it was awesome.

Anyways, about 30 minutes before the game some guy comes running out of the stadium with a tv crew and hands out giant 'ITS GONNA HAPPEN' signs to all of the Cub fans. Being the first Cub fans in line we get first dibs, and get on camera. Seeing as how this was 1/2 an hour before the gates opened there was actually quite a line lined up. About halfway down the line he ran out of signs and people started booing and yelling at him because they got shafted. We started yelling 'tough shit' and things like that at them and they realized that had they gotten there sooner, they would've gotten signs.

Cut to: the gates open, we get in and haul ass up to the bleachers so that we can get front row. We do, in left center right above the Under Armour sign, and as we are standing there watching people are running everywhere, all over the outfield, and going straight down to the front row, cause its the best. Then, sure enough, some people sit down behind us and start bitching about how they didnt get front row seats. All they did was whine the entire time up until the game started about how cramped and crowded they were and blah blah blah and finally my friend and I had enough and we turned around and told them, nicely, "its about commitment man, we got here 3 hours early and still weren't the first in line. You cant just show up whenever and expect the best things." The guys tried to argue but realized we trumped them and were silent about it from then on.

Timeliness is a big issue with me. I was raised to either be on time or even early when going somewhere. Whenever I hear someone bitching about something like the guys last night did it just really bothers me. You make the effort to get there early enough to get what you want or you can shut the fuck up. If they really wanted front row bleacher seats then they should have known that getting there right before the game started wasnt the smartest move. But, what are ya gonna do? People will bitch about anything and everything.

And btw, the Cubs won 19-5, I was on TV a total of 4 times and it was basically the best night of my life.

[poopontheshoes7]

That reminds of this group of girls that tried to save a whole fucking row of seats during an 8.00 PM showing of Spider-Man 3 on opening night. The theater was crazy packed and people were sitting in the aisles and on the floor in front of the screen. I was sure managment would tell people to move or wait for a later showing but they never did. But these stupid 14 year girls were all like "sorreeeeee, ummmmmm we're saving these seats." And people would fucking listen to them and go some place else!

And I'm not kidding when I say the whole row. The movie was about to start and a guy comes in with his girl and he was pissed because is was so packed but he notice the row was half empty so he took his date to go sit down. The leader of the dumb girls told them they couldnt sit there and he said "Fuck that shit, you aint saving no fucking seats tonight."

He than plopped his butt down in the row with his girl. The Leader girl looks shocked beyond belief. The movie starts and its like a half an hour into the damn thing and the girls friends show up. They had the gal to actually ask the guy and his date to move. The guy just stared at them and told them he wasnt moving anywhere. The girls then proceeded to act pissed sat in the isle.

I laughed to myself and told the guy after the movie he did the right thing. He laughed and said something along the lines of stupid bitches trying to save seats on Spider-Man 3 night and how they were trippin'.:D

[DarthWade]

That woman takes the cake, and I'd like to know where people get the fucking nerve. Really. If I showed up late (which I hate to do because it drives me crazy to no end), I'd be quiet and take what I could get. Unbelievable. I feel bad for the staff because I'm sure each and every one of them were thinking "oh fuck off" or something but have to be polite - she's sounds like the type that would go running to manager to demand an apology.

Another issue with lateness that bothers me, esp. in movies, is when your watch some awesome preview and people come in and walk in front of you, or stand up and take their coats off, etc...meanwhile you're trying to watch that "awesome" preview you've been dying to see...

i completely agree with your sentiments, i also wanted to bitch that i drove in from detroit to see the cubs opening game against the brewers this past tuesday (they lost :mad:) and some big mouth dumbass broad sat there arguing with her boyfriend for the whole game, she was a row back and at least 15 seats over and ic all still hear her big yap through the entire game inconsiderate idiot.

[yorrick brown]

. But these stupid 14 year girls were all like "sorreeeeee, ummmmmm we're saving these seats." And people would fucking listen to them and go some place else!



thats so true !!! and it works.movie cinemas,buses,trains you say those magic words"seat is saved." and people just move along,like you`ve used voodoo on them.

or i put my bag on the seat next to me,and people are like ok this bag has this seat lets look else where for seating lol.

[LordSimen]

He than plopped his butt down in the row with his girl. The Leader girl looks shocked beyond belief. The movie starts and its like a half an hour into the damn thing and the girls friends show up.

That guy sounds like a dick.

[JohnLocke2342]

That guy sounds like a dick.

a Dick? If you got to opening night of Indiana Jones on time, or before it opened, and some 14 year old princess told you that shes saving half a row you would sit on the floor or in the front? FUCK THAT. That guy is the man.. I would do the exact same thing. The most seats I ever saved was 4 for the midnight showing of Cloverfield, and I made sure my friends got there HALF AN HOUR before the movie even started just to be safe.

I agree with all you guys about people coming late and shit. If youre coming late, you clearly dont want to see the show or the game as much as the person who came 3 hours before you, otherwise you would have moved your ass to get there on time.

[LordSimen]

a Dick? If you got to opening night of Indiana Jones on time, or before it opened, and some 14 year old princess told you that shes saving half a row you would sit on the floor or in the front?

I'd let her save the seats. Because it's common courtesy. Sorry. The guy who sits in her seats is thinking only about himself and himself alone. The girl saving the seats is thinking about not just herself, but her friends as well. The dick is the one who cares for no one else, the non-dick cares for others. That guy was the dick.

[JohnLocke2342]

theres a fine line between saving seats and saving a row. Or even half of a row.. when its jam packed and hundreds of people r pooring into the theater I'm sorry but youre just at a loss. She was probably a spoiled 14 year old princess that though she owned the world.. no intelligent person older then 18 would safe half a row during opening night of the biggest movie of the summer while hundreds of people r looking for a seat.. sorry man.

Regardless of the circumstances, he's still a dick and made a completely dick move.

[pablo_super1!]

Regardless of the circumstances, he's still a dick and made a completely dick move.

And what move is that, taking his girlfriend to the movies and being told by some little girl that he can't sit in a seat because there friends aren't there yet and for what so they can sit and talk while the movies going on.

Hell I would've done the same thing, I can deal with some saving 2 seats, Hell even saving 4 seats. But a whole row. Thats just an assholish move on the girls end. Even if she's young.

If I was at the movies and I was waiting for 2 friends to come and the movie was about to start and a couple came in looking for seats. I'd give them the two I was saving. Hell why shouldn't they get seats just because I want to sit next to some buddies who are late. Even if they came in a minute after the couple sat down I'd tell them tough shit, you should've gotten here earlier. Unless of course there are two oher seats then I would politely ask them if they could move over to the other seats, and if they didn't want to I'd tell my buddies Tough Shit.

[LordSimen]

No. The move he made was sitting in there after knowing that they were saving the seat for their friends. That is a dick move, made for the sole purpose of appeasing himself and pissing them off. He's a dick.

Hell I would've done the same thing, I can deal with some saving 2 seats, Hell even saving 4 seats. But a whole row. Thats just an assholish move on the girls end. Even if she's young.


He said there were a group of girls. Even mentioned there was a girl "leader." One can assume given the basic size of rows, that it was merely half the row they were saving, which wouldn't be that many seats. Unless he happened to be going to one of those jumbo sized theaters, which I very much so doubt.

It's not an assholish move to save seats for your friends, your family, or anyone else who will be attending the movie with you. It's common courtesy.

It also doesn't matter who else would have done the same thing, it doesn't make it any less of a dick move.

That was a dick move to pull on your friends. Back stabbed over a pair of seats. Is that how you treat all the people close to you? I feel sorry for those people then.

If you got there on time then anybody saving a row wouldn't be an issue for you since you'd have the rest of the not-packed-yet theater to choose a seat from.

Ok well how I said it sounds Dickish of me. If there were other empty seats and they said no when I kindly asked, I would've told them to move. But if my friends were late after the movies started like 10 minutes I would have told them to sit over there.

So are you telling me if you were saving a seat for say your sister and the movies starts and the previews are on and there are no other seats in the theater and a guy walks in looking for a seat, and he asks for it you would tell him no because you're saving it.

I'm not saying you shouldn't save seats for your friends or family members, but if my friends came late like dicks or something I'd tell them sit over there.

But you know lets just cut the shit. No offense meant in anyway. Because my story was a hypothetical. when ever I got to the movies we always go about a half an hour early so we can get our popcorn and drinks and get good seats. So it would never happen with me because I would'nt be that guy who comes in a minute before the movie starts.

That makes a little more sense. I still wouldn't do it myself but it doesn't sound so much like a dick in that situation. :D


So are you telling me if you were saving a seat for say your sister and the movies starts and the previews are on and there are no other seats in the theater and a guy walks in looking for a seat, and he asks for it you would tell him no because you're saving it.

... Yes, actually. That wouldn't stop him from sitting in it if he wanted to, and I wouldn't do anything to stop him after he did. But at least I would have tried, for my sister.


I'm not saying you shouldn't save seats for your friends or family members, but if my friends came late like dicks or something I'd tell them sit over there.

Sometimes lateness isn't a case of someone being a dick. I've been in many situations where how late we end up becomes out of our control for one reason or another.

Dude come on. Not trying to start a fight but this was opening night of Spider-Man 3. If I'm not mistaken, everybody on the fucking planet wanted to see it. I stated that the theater was overpacted and that I was baffled by the fact that people would actually let a bunch of girls save about 10 seats for their friends who showed up half an hour late.


The guy was being a dick? How about the girls being complete dicks for telling complete strangers they couldnt sit down when there obviously wasnt room anywhere else? Thats a dick move if you ask me. Everybody has an equal right to have a seat in a theater. If your dumb friends cant even show up on time then to fucking bad, those seats are gonna go.

I seriously doubt that you would let some 14 girl tell you you couldnt sit down because she was saving seats. Would be really be like "ok, I'll just sit in the isle."? I highly doubt it. Ya, maybe if there was a seat somewhere else you would let it slide. But I kid you not I've seen seen a theater so packed in my life. So no, the guy wasnt a dick, he deserved those two seats, not the little tweens who couldnt even bother to show up on time.

Baffled? It's simple... I already explained it. It's called Common Courtesy, some people have it, others don't. The ones that don't do not necesarily have to be a dick about it, but the guy in your situation definitely sounded like he was.

The girls were saving seats for their friends and being good friends and good people in general by doing so. The guy decided to sit there in order to piss them off even after knowing that they were trying to help their friends out. That's kicking a person while they're down, and a downright dick move.

I don't consider my friends dumb, and if you do, get new friends. Don't hang out with people who you hate so much you wouldn't even care enough to save a simple seat for them.


I seriously doubt that you would let some 14 girl tell you you couldnt sit down because she was saving seats. Would be really be like "ok, I'll just sit in the isle."? I highly doubt it.

Uh, yes I would. If they were saving seats for their friends, then they're saving seats for their friends. If I really wanted those seats I would have came earlier than that girl. But I didn't. So they're hers to save. I'd move on. I've done it before and I've done it again, because it's common courtesy. Only a jack ass would sit in the seats after being told they're saving it for a friend.

Using your own logic, the girl showed up first who was saving the seats. Thus she has more of a right to save them than you or that guy, who showed up late. Come earlier if you don't want to deal with saved seats.

[Brendan M.]

Glad I never had any of these problems when I went to Sundance.

[pablo_super1!]

yea I just kind of took that in, If the guy was late he was late if he was really excited to see the move and really wanted to see it, he would have gotten there early to get good seats.

[Ghosthost]

I Had a similar experiance from last summer. At manns chinese they were doing some preview screenings too. There was Hairspray in one theatre which was what we were seeing, then Transformers at another theatre the other side of the lobby.

Now there was this woman a few people up who was there for Transformers but was in the Hairspray line with us. The people who worked for Manns told her to go to the other line for Transformers but she wouldnt move. Then the screening company too told her to go to the other line and she still wouldn't move convinced she was in line for Transformers despite being told otherwise by pretty much everybody. Finally she is convinced that she was in the wrong line. But by now Transformers has been let in and is all full up. This woman causes a huge stink in the theatre lobby demanding somebody be kicked out of the Transformers theatre because she waited... even though she was in the wrong dammed line and was told repeatedly that she was!

[solidstealth]

That guy sounds like a dick.

he might've been a dick but at least he had the balls to stand up for himself and not act like a pussy... ha look at me i'm so punny ::bangs head on desk::

[Cop No. 633]

Yeah, people today are retarded. I would have also clapped if she had been yelling and then finally left.

As for the other story, I'm sorry, but there's a big difference saving 4 seats opposed to a whole row. Nobody has the right to save a row especially at a big opening. I'm sorry, but that is a selfish thing to do. That's typical American thinking. "Why can't I have the whole row?!"

Maybe because you paid for your ticket and that only entitles you to a seat. You're lucky you even get to save more than two seats in the first place.

I hate it when I go to the movies and I have to hold seats for people and they don't show up till the movie barely starts. It's annoying and distracting having to pay attention to a film you haven't seen yet and your buddies who are taking their fucking time. There's certain film going etiquette I like to follow.

[BanksIsDaFuture]

You guys actually let people save seats? LOL.

I wish someone would try to stop me from sitting where I want to sit because someone else is not there yet. Fuck that person then for not being there. Tough shit.

Now if someone went to the bathroom or concession and their friend/date was saving their seat, OK - I can see that. But for someone who hasn't even probably purchased a ticket yet? Wow, that's pretty naive.

[LordSimen]

You guys actually let people save seats? LOL.

Because, you know, being polite is somehow funny. :confused:

[JohnLocke2342]

give it up Lord Simen.. the chick was a bitch for saving a row on opening night of the biggest movie of the summer, the end.

[sirdizzy]

Dude lord Simen didn't we have this arguement like a year ago. There is a reasonable amount of saving that can be expected, one seat, two seats thats cool but an entire row is out of hand and up to five minutes before the movies starts, if your ass can't be at least 5 minutes early then you don't deserve good seats. Also her friends showed up after the movie started, see if they had shown up on time there wouldn't have been a problem, the guy is supposed to just get dicked out of seats so a large group can sit together who don't have the courtesy to show up at the theatre on time.


We did the same thing for Fantastic Four 2, we showed up a good 20 minutes before the movie and this lady and her friend are saving an entire row, she at one end and the friend at the other end, I said fuck that shit climbed over the back of the seat an sat down. She tried to block my wife from sitting next to me when she returned from the concession line and I almost hit the ground laughing because I thought my wife was going to deck her. The friends she was saving the seats for showed up 5 minutes into the film. I am sorry signs are posted in our theatre that says one saved seat per person, so its theatre policy and I told her as much.

Be on time, don't expect entitlement just because you have a friend go early to get seats still show up fucking on time. Everyone is there to see the movie, everyone wants a good seat and the people who have the inteligence to show up on time for a big movie deserve to have good seats.

I was surprised the Iron Man I went to tonight was only half sold out, I was 50 minutes early and probably 20th in line. If its a big movie, if I expect a large crowd, I show my ass up early.

[mutesaint]

Saving seats is well and good. Ive done it and had it done for me. It gets a bit ridiculous when you are saving about 15 seats though. Also, if people are late(trailers over) and it is PACKED, saved seats don't count. Hell, usually the employees themselves will come out and will void saved seats like a mofo. Concession stand trips/bathrooms exempt of course.

[sirdizzy]

See Lordsimen you got this entitlement that the entire world should bow to you and your friends because they are your friends and that you showing common courtesy to your friends means fuck the rest of the world who are timely and show courtesy to the entire theatre for showing up on time.


I have a good example of this, everyone hates to work Saturdays at my work, you have to work one every six weeks and everytime peoples Saturday's come up there is at least 20 people trying to get out of them and not work them. fuck its every six weeks it never changes, I always work mine. So I tend to get wrangled into a few Saturdays that are not my own every now and then which isn't too bad because when you work Saturday you get a comp day during the week which is cool to get errands done or catch a nice matinee. So about 4 weeks ago as a favor to my boss I agree to work Saturday but its half way through Friday so I don't get a comp day. She says she will put a word in for me with the Supervisor in charge that day as I will be overtime and I didn't get a comp day.

Now they always put out an LWOP (leave without pay) list on Saturday for people to go home early and not have to work the whole day depending on volume. So I show up 20 minutes early (this is like 6:40 in the fucking morning way to early to be awake in my opinion) and there is already 8 peoples names on the list and I find out lthat one person came in at like 6:10 am and signed up like 7 of her friends. So here I am working OT on a 6th day as a favor for someone trying to get out of their shift and because one person feels its ok for them to sign up 7 of their friends (just like saving seats) I got to work the whole day. In your defense oh thats ok because she was showing courtesy to her friends fuck the rest of the world and its ok because if I would have showed up at 6am and put 15 of my friends on the list you wouldn't think it was a shitty thing to do.

Sorry its a shitty thing to do, screwing someone out of seats who showed up on time so your friends can show up whenever the fuck they want is a shitty thing to do. And just because hey if someone else does it you don't have a problem with it does not make it any less shitty, Two wrongs do not make a right my friend.

Sorry, but, it sounds like you are the one who thinks the entire world should bow down to you and yourself alone. You alone think of only your self when taking the seats from someone who is saving seats for another. You think we should all bow down to you and stop saving seats. We're not. Sit in them if you like, doesn't mean you aren't an ass. You are if you do.

Show up earlier. If I came early to save seats for my friends who I know are going to be a bit late, then I came in before you. You were the late one in that case. You taking the seat of the other person is a bigger wrong than the person who is saving a seat. Because there's nothing wrong with that. It's common courtesy.

That's work and times. That's not seats and movies. Big difference.

give it up Lord Simen.. the chick was a bitch for saving a row on opening night of the biggest movie of the summer, the end.

Sorry. He didn't say one chick. He said a group of chicks, and half a row. Big difference. She wasn't the bitch, the guy who sat down was a dick.

Why don't you give it up? I can't believe people complain about going to the movie theaters and then pull dick moves like this. It's hypocritical.

[poopontheshoes7]

LordSimen, dude...I see what your saying about being nice and curtious to people. Like I said I can understand finding someplace else to sit if there was room. But there WASNT ANT OTHER SEATS LEFT. I'm not about to let some teen pris dictate where me and my date are going sit. FUCK THAT. Seriously, FUCK THAT. I have just as much right to a seat as anybody else, and if there arent any left but the ones they were saving, sorry but my date and I are sitting down. The girls were late, their lose.


Maybe if it was a different movie on a different day with plenty of seats to go around, the arguement my be different, but not in this situation.

[vesaker]

Frankly one of the sayings is was raised on is "You snooze, you lose". If you really want something you make the effort to do it or be there and if you can't you suck it up and try again some other time.

Life sucks sometimes and plans don't always work out but if you're showing up late for something like an opening night for a big movie and you KNOW there will be tons of ppl any idea that you can have seats saved for you while showing up late is just foolish.

Yes it is a courtesy to move on for ppl who have saved seats but the situation will dictate wether or not its a resonable courtesy. Now if ppl were seriously in the isles and such then the real Dick here is the theater for over selling the showing.

And think of the example given, sure the guy was like "fuck your firends, me and my date are sitting here" and yes thats a dick thing to say but it was only after he got some what stuck up response to his intial question and no explanation like "they just called and are in the lobby". That i could understand upholding the common courtesy but thats not how it went it seems.

I see what you're saying but I still disagree with it. I feel the person should be able to save their seats regardless of the situation. I was also raised to think of others before yourself. I know I'd sooner stand in the back than sit in someone's saved seats. It goes against everything I've been taught and believe in.

I was raised to allow people common courtesy and the saying with which I was raised by was "Do onto others." I believe that saving seats is a complete common courtesy that you allow others to do and yourself. Regardless of how many people are there.

Well then i hope you have fun getting walked on by ppl who don't think like you cause that maybe what you're in for in life if you don't feel the need to do things like take circumstances and situations into mind when making these sorts of decisions.

Yes ppl desrever courtesy but only if they give it back in return and in the example given the girl just said they were saved with no further explanation. Personally i would have taken it further and asked her about where these friends were and if they weren't in the building then i'm sorry but tough luck.

That just fine assuming these ppl the seats are saved for are even there and showin up on time. Thats all thats being asked here that ppl who apparently want to see this movie show up so on time so they can get their fair shot at the seats just like everyone else. If they can't do that then they're shit out of luck.

And seriously man give up this whole common courtesy jargon cause every one you've debated with in this thread has already stated that they agree with it to a point. If you want to say that theres no point where your sense of courtesy ceases to extend, even when done so to ass hats, then thats fine but pls find a new defense for yourr veiw cause that ones got old quick.

I already get walked on by people who don't think like me. I'm used to it by now. I give courtesy even to those who don't give it back in return. Granted, I'm still human. If someone pisses me off I probably will be a dick to them back, but, I try not to.

I don't need another defense, because it expresses my views clearly and doesn't need explanation.

agreed. How is this even being argued, the theater employees themselves would tell the girl she has to give up her "saved seats". I saw that at the Saw II midnight premier.. some punk kid was saving 6 seats for his friends at the sold-out midnight showing.. it was the previews and he wouldnt let anyone sit down.. the AMC (then loews) guys came in, told him he had to give up his seats, he bowed to them and the other people sat down.

[starcat]

if one person goes in to get the seats while your friends are outside the door at the concession stand... its cool to save the seats... cause they are usually getting your popcorn while you are waiting. if you are waiting for friends that havent shown up yet, then you wait in the lobby until they get there... that seat saving shit was over the minute you stopped riding the school bus, sorry... but the theatre is grown up land no matter how many teenagers are there. If everybody went into a theatre and acted like an adult there would be alot more happy theatre going experiences. so if she would have said my friends are grabbing the snacks and will be right here, he probably would have sat elsewhere... but because they were late she got shut down. and im sorry simen, but it was said he was with his girlfriend so he wasnt thinking about just himself but his woman as well...

[BanksIsDaFuture]

Hey let's try this:

Next time you go to sit down in a seat you paid for, stop moving as soon as somebody says "Oh, I'm saving those". Turn slowly towards them and say "Unless you're saving this seat for my dick, go fuck yourself, faggot." Then sit down and enjoy your movie.

Problem solved.

exactly, i know you would show courtesy as so do i but if the situation doesn't call for it or whatever then you gotta be a dick sometimes, ppl learning hte hard way and all that junk ;)


I don't need another defense, because it expresses my views clearly and doesn't need explanation.

not saying you need a new one or even a better one but that if you want ppl to not just think "oh here he goes again" you might want to have more then one defense? I mean you don't want every response to you to start with a long drawn out sigh do you? lol :D

k now thats just being a dick :rolleyes:

[a7xfan]

i agree, those little bitches can fuck off, 'im saving these for my friend'

where is your friend? is she behind me? no, is she even in the building? no. okay then go fuck yourself. i paid for a seat, i'll take one of the fucking 10 u got 'saved' .

common courtasy my fucking ass!, did those little fuckers show any manners or resepct? no they didn't and neither did their buddies, showing up 30 minutes late and demanding a seat. lick my asscrack. this seriously pisses me off.

and anybody who tries to justify the girls actions are dumb to a certain extent.

tha guy was a legend. i would have done the same.

[Preston_79]

theres a fine line between saving seats and saving a row. Or even half of a row.. when its jam packed and hundreds of people r pooring into the theater I'm sorry but youre just at a loss. She was probably a spoiled 14 year old princess that though she owned the world.. no intelligent person older then 18 would safe half a row during opening night of the biggest movie of the summer while hundreds of people r looking for a seat.. sorry man.


I'd offered one of the girls a seat right on my lap. There, problem solved right?

[Digifruitella]

I honestly can't digest saving seats, let alone entire rows. For a showing of 300, opening night my friend and I only expected to lock about 4 more seats other than ours and that was pushing it. This wasn't the worst part. The worst part, was that there were about 4 more uninvited guests that were tagging along with the planned four. So since I never take chances on huge films on opening night, I always go in two hours before and get in line, but then I get a call "oh..can you save a few more seats??? thx!" Not only did I say "get here fuckin' early!" - they're LATE, and there's already a huge fuckin' line behind and we're up front, but then there's some more people I have never even met are tagging along with the planned group. Thankfully it all came together at the end, damn, holding an entire row - I could feel the hate vibes towards me and my friend.

I'm a victim, but I could have said NO. There's always next time, right?

[magic shoes]

I like to think that I was raised right and that I have common courtesy for people in general. However, if I were in the situation where I'd have to either sit on the floor so some bitch could save an entire fucking row of seats for her friends on opening night of the biggest movie of the year or sit in one the aforementioned seats, then she can lick my fucking hairy bean bag, I'm taking one of her damn seats.

co sign everything, except the licking of the asscrack.

[MISFITS_Fiend]

LordSimen:

I know this is pretty much done, but I have to completely disagree with you. Common courtesy has nothing to do with this occurrence. Mainly, there is no rule that says you can "save" seats. If there's no other seats to be had, then you are basically shit out of luck if you are trying to save seats. This is the reason that the phrase "first come, first served" was created. I can tell you that if I was saving seats for someone (and I would never try to save a whole row...if they aren't there when the movie starts, then they're screwed), if the movie was full, then I would consider those seats open if somebody wants 'em.

Courtesy would have been for the girl to give up the seats, or at least a couple.
