Pet Peeves, yo.

People who talk during a movie at the theaters. I pay $16 for my ticket, $4 for parking, and about $20 for food/drinks. I ALWAYS get stuck next to the pre-teen who loves to text, the guy who laughs really loudly at things that are not funny, or the bitch who wants to talk loudly to her friend. :angry4:

I especially can't stand the guy who laughs really loudly at things that are not funny. Or even worse- the one that thought is was so funny, he has to repeat it just to make sure everyone else heard.

I like how people are calling it an accusation/insult when it was really a questioning for clarification. But thank you for the apology.

You are probably right Amber, but i cant help how it felt.

You were so hurt that someone called your trash picking "trash picking" that you explained how you are too classy for that by calling Amber rude, misogynist names in her own house. Dude. Just apologize and hang your head in shame until everyone forgets. Stop trying to make excuses for it.

Hey if explaining how I felt is making excuses, so be it. I apologized to Amber bc I reacted from an emotional spot, and don't truly feel that way. On the other hand I don't feel it is anything I need to hang my head in shame over. Also, "Misogynist", really, why bc I used the word bitch? If it had been in response to someone of the male gender, I might have very well have said, " mean bastard"... I just don't understand the misogynist slant.

People who use $50 words while talking, then immediately explain what it means--assuming his audience is ignorant. Why not just use the more common, simple word in the first place?

In most circles nowadays, men take "bastard" almost like a term of endearment... "You old bastard! Love you man!" The word bitch, when applied to a woman by a man, is almost universally considered a term used boorishly and the user is often thought to be either a misogynist or someone who is acting as one.

Point taken, but misogynist I'm not. If there were a term to describe,"man hater"? I would be much more likely to fit that.

Yeah, if she meant $16 per ticket, that's a lot! I think one of the movie theaters here charges $8 per adult ticket, and then the bigger theater out here charges like $10 per adult ticket. The only time it's more than that - out here, at least - is when a movie is being shown in 3D (such as last year's summer movie Transformers Dark of the Moon).

No wonder a lot of people choose to just wait to see a movie on dvd (Redbox, etc.).

 

[JickyJuly]

Grown people who don't take personal responsibility for the things they say and do because they think their "hurt feelings" justify whatever nonsense flies out of their mouths.

"Apologies" that come with qualifiers to explain why they shouldn't really have to be sorry.

When you get talking to a customer about the album they're buying and they happen to be female and their boyfriend comes over with a "what's going on here?" look on his face and gets all possessive and shit. Sit down, mate. Your girlfriend and I aren't planning to elope, we're merely making idle chat about her purchase while I run it through the till. Next, you'll be whipping your cock out and pissing all over her to mark your territory :?

"Apologies" that come with qualifiers to explain why they shouldn't really have to be sorry.

well, I suppose you have it there. To be honest, I apologize to Amber because this is her forum. Being that she provides us all a place to be I think she deserves some extra consideration. Had the comment been made to anyone else, (a comment which included in it the fact that I did not think this was their true nature), I likely would not have apologized. Does that mean I do not think the comment was out of line? Yes, I suppose it does. That is not to say that I wish I had not expressed my offence at Ambers comment in a less rash, and more tactful way, - I wish I had. And that is not to say that I did not feel, and continue to feel there was something offensive in Amber's comment, and very much not like Amber.

Now up to this point I believe Amber and I were o.k. with this. I think it would be truly ashame if your ritious battering, and continued volleys at me, have now inflamed the matter to which you were not even involved, to something that is no longer o.k. if Amber had not been fine with my apology I think she would have, A) said so, or B) would not have felt it so big a deal that it served any purpose to continue to hijack this thread. It seems clear to me that most everyone else here wants to get back on subject, so let me start.

Ppl who become so concerned with being right that they lose track of everything else, or fail to see the disharmony their quest to be right might cause.

I will not further disrupt this thread, but would be more than happy to continue this via PM's. That's a lie, I would not be more than happy, but will continue if you wish to discuss it further, but not here.

A bag of un crushed cans nets about $4, crushed that bag comes in at $16. The space saved is, as makes sense, 4to1

I understand your "need" to let it go but dude, you called our friend a nasty bitch because YOU left out the fact that this is an "in home" problem and YOU gave this explanation as to why it bothers you.
You know what I got from your explanation? Trash picker. Not a big deal dude, I grew up in Oregon and paid for many tanks of gas with cans but own up! You lashed out like a toddler because you were embarrassed, when all she did was ask for clarification on something YOU said.

And then you say you really didn't mean your apology... Christ all mighty man, your name calling was uncalled for and childish.

I must have misunderstood on the price. The most I've seen a ticket in California is $12.50 and that is at the CityWalk where movie ticket prices are higher than normal theaters. I normally wait for the rental even though I really want to see Loopers.

 

[mynameisbob84]

It's about £8 over here (like, $15?). £10 if it's a 3d film. Popcorn and a drink is another £7. Parking is free, so... there's that. It's all ludicrously overpriced, but I still go at least once a month.

No, I don't think there's any misunderstanding. Her post said that she spends $16 on a ticket (not 'tickets' plural). So, yeah, that's a lot. Like I said, the only time I remember paying around that price was when it was a 3D movie like Transformers 3. I know that SpyKids 2 (or 3?) movie was in 3D too, so the child ticket for that probably cost more than a child ticket for a non-3D movie.

Arclight theaters on a Saturday in southern California are $16 after taxes, I believe.
I also went to a theater in San Diego which was $30 a person. It had steak dinner (extra cost) served to you, chocolate covered strawberries, and you enjoyed the movie in a full reclining LazyBoy. That's what I call a movie theater!!! Haha, but once again, the woman next to me thought it was okay to text the whole time and the light from her phone was highly distracting. Problem with expensive theaters is that the people going feel entitled to do as they please.

What is different about Arclight theaters that they charge so much I wonder?

I've been to a theater dinner in LA or Hollywood area, but it was a comedy play with live professional actors. I've never heard of a movie dinner theater with lazy boys. Does the lazy boys massage your ass? I would think for $30, it would.

I need to check to see if movie dinner theaters are in my area. It sounds like a lot of fun, paying about $100 or so dollars with a loved one, steak, dinner, lazy boys, desserts. yummy!!!

The point is whether it's a play theater or a movie theater, it's very rude to talk during those times. People shouldn't feel entitled to act as they please just because they paid a few extra bucks for the experience.

When I hear about something like a pair of jeans costing $100, I always joke "Wow, do the jeans have a built-in vibrator or something?" LOL.

During the movie previews is when I turn off my cell phone or put it on 'vibrate', and then I start feeding my face with popcorn with extra butter and my cherry ICEE.

 

[AmberCutie]

Arclight is a more classy establishment than your usual movie theater. They also offer some movies in a special "21 and up" event and serve alcohol inside the theater. I think most/all of them have a full restaurant inside as well.

I hate using wooden pencils, cause when the lead breaks, and the wood scrapes against the paper. ARGH. Makes me cringe just thinking about it.

I'm the same with those pens where you have to click the bit at the bottom to get the actual pen part to pop out of the plastic at the other end. Sometimes, I'll go to write having not clicked the bottom bit and the plastic scrapes against the paper and *shivers* :?

 

[LadyLuna]

I used to hate mechanical pencils. then I found out how hard it is to find GOOD pencils that won't break (I guess I was spoiled a bit in grade school/undergrad college) and lo and behold! Mechanical pencils and ballpoint pens are my favorite ever now!
