There's always gotta be 1....

Scene 1:

Picture it.  San Francisco. Summer time, On a Trolly. The breeze blowing over you gently pushing the hair off your forehead clearing up the view in front of you and allowing you to enjoy the beautiful scenery.  You get a whif of the pastries that were just freshly baked, as they're put out available for purchase by people on the street and then...just when everything surrounding your senses is starting to blend perfectly into a masterpiece someone says ...

"LOOK AT ME....I'M FLYING!!!! WEEEEEEEEE LOOK! LOOK AT ME!!! TAKE MY PICTURE!! IM LIKE LEO IN THE ONE MOVIE....WEEEEEE!" All of a sudden, all those great feeling you had going on....go crashing to the ground. Now you get a smile on your face after imagining that person falling off the trolly and getting ran over by a car, that happened to have Leonardo DiCaprio in it :)

Scene 2:

It's a Saturday night, and you're enjoying the latest suspense flick at your local theatre.  You've eaten half of the popcorn tub already and have to pee because you've gone through half of your extra large Coke. You don't want to leave yet though because the suspense is literally too much for you to handle, and you can't WAIT to see what happens. It's about to get to the part where everything comes together and you finally find out what the answer to life really is....and then....
*RIIIINNNNGGGG*  *RRIIIINNNNGGGG*  "Hello? Oh hey what's up man? Nah....im just watching a movie here, what's goin on with you?"....... uh ...hello??? we're in a MOVIE THEATRE!!!! its not your house, and this ain't the Tivo kind of place that you may be used to....and just like that....all your suspense energy from the movie changes into you using every muscle in you body to help you sit down and not get up to punch the guy in the face and throw his cell phone 4 rows back.


There always has to be one jerk-face who needs all the attention on them or forgets that they aren't the only one in the room and it ruins the wonderful experience for everyone else. If you don't know who the jerk-face is in your group.....it's probably YOU! just fyi. :) This reason alone is why I hate going to the movie theatre. I'd much rather sit at home, in bed, in my pj's, with a bowl of my own popped popcorn that I didn't have to pay $8 for, and a coke that I can refill whenever I want and enjoy the movie that way without any outside restrictions.  I think it's because I have a control problem....but that's beside the point...it's just plain RUDE!!

That's how it was this past weekend.  My husband and I were enjoying a wonderful weekend in San Diego to celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversary, and decided to end our trip with a trip to the San Diego Zoo which was so much fun!!! Until.....we got to the end of day and we were on the guided tram tour around the park.  We were just minding our own business on the top of the tram, towards the back and enjoying the wonderful view, when during the tour guide's explanation of the surrounding areas, and very large tan man with cutoff sleeves and grey hair starts waving at the people below and going "hello!!!! Hello!!! Hey!! I'm up here!!!! Hello!!!"  Like REALLY??? I'm sure the people down on the street are just DYING to wave back at you, in fact...that's the whole reason they came to the zoo!!! JUST to wave at you...and now their life is complete.....and this guy did it for THE REST OF THE RIDE....oh!!! and it gets better.....
When we got to the section that had the wart-hogs....the tour guide said that "you may recognize these animals from The Lion King, this is what Pumba was..." and that was just more fuel to his fire....the rest of the time he was yelling "PUMBA!!!!! HEY PUMBA!!!! LOOK AT ME PUMBA!!!!! I'M WAVING AT YOU......." i'm sure the wart-hogs were just looking at him and think "nu-uh this guy is not seriously waving at me...really??" because....you know...that's how wart-hogs think.... :)

SOooo.....the moral of this story is....don't be an inconsiderate asshole....unless you're at home then you can do what you please, but....when you have to share space with other people outside of your home...be kind and rewind please. :)
