Dear teenage theater worker
First of all, I'm sorry. I hope I didn't startle you too badly. You looked a bit taken aback as you groveled your way back down the aisle and disappeared.
But you have to understand, this was Star Trek. It has a lot of meaning in my life, many years of it, say... 38 or so. My tribe is made of trekkers. I met my husband at a Trek fan club. My BFFs are all borne from Trek-interests.
I'm hardcore.
Also, we only go to the movies a couple of times a year, and I'm still taken aback that it costs me $8 each despite the comfy chairs and the digital picture and the Dolby Surround Sound. I do, after all, watch everything else online the entire rest of the year.
So when you and your cohort decide to clean the theater while the credits are still rolling, and the almost-Trekkers have left already, I got a little twitchy. You probably didn't even really notice me until I leaned forward over the chair in front of me and rasped, "Still watching the movie!" in my best cross-this-line-and-you-die voice. I really didn't mean to sound quite that homicidal vehement, it just kind of happened.
Hope you didn't pee your uniform pants. That would be a shame.
Live long and prosper. _\\//
