(no subject)
my week has been a gong show, and i have loved every single last second of it.
my friend simone is the most hilarious girl i know- she walked right up to a guy and introduced her self to him, for the soul purpose of introducing me to him.
Made me laugh, and i loved it.
WE got to officially "move" into our new place. but the move is in quotes, because it needs to be painted something fierce before we actually move our stuff in. That and i'm not moving in until september. but still.
anyhow.
i saw eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, which i found to be interesting, and a little outta the norm. which is good. we went into it with no expectations for it to be anything, and ended up pleasently surprized.
except......
THIS WOMAN....
her phone rang, and at first, she just let it ring. HELLOOOO movie? cell phone on vibrate/silent/off?
so, we got over it.
but then, it rang again.
she answered it, but hung it up.
and then. it rang again.
and again.
and again.
it rang maybe 6 or 7 times, you THINK she might get a clue and turn it off. No such luck. She just kept going "oops"
now, here's Shwy's tips for movie cell phone etiquette:
1) If you MUST have your cell on, leave it on vibrate, or silent.
2) If you do leave it on ring accidentally, accidents are forgiven. but for god's sake, turn the phone OFF after the first interruption.
3) If you neglect to turn it off after the first interruption, and it rings again, hey- it might be important, take the god damn thing out side and talk to the person who is just as clueless as you are.
4) if you STILL neglect to realize that you are causing a ruckus and disturbing everyone else who has paid 12 dollars to see a movie, then prepare to be glared at, or worse, have things thrown at you.
5) Finally, if you are as dumb as the woman beside me tonight, don't look shocked when everyone gives you the "if looks could kill" look as they exit the theatre. Just accept that you are a moron, and that you don't deserve to have a cell phone. Ever. Ever. again.
now- i may be being hard on this woman, but she wasn't a kid. she was middle aged, and should have known better. She also looked like the type of woman who if ANYONE else would have done this, she would have flipped out. She actually had the audacity to give ME a dirty look when i asked my boyfriend to pass me the drink.
I should have said something to her, but i felt that i had left my confrontational shoes at home, and was not in the mood to do any confronting in flip flops.
Anyway. this is my rant, thanks for enduring.
and public service announcement:
I never turn off my cell phone. but, if i'm in a movie theatre, i at least have the decency to turn it to vibrate. please have the same consideration, and take the appropriate steps to prevent a very large, very angry, very blonde girl from coming up to you and kicking you in the ass. Thank you.
