THE LEFT HAND!!!! HAND!!! THE LEFT!!!
May. 8th, 2004 03:50 am( A short, bittersweet tale of a man. A JACKman... )
The bitter comes from being stiffed. Fine, no records were broken, but ugh, I missed all the previews waiting for someone who never came, leaving me with an extra ticket. THAT WILL BE PAID FOR AND NOT BY ME. I haven't gotten stiffed at the May Movie in four years, so I'm a little extra pissed about getting shafted this time, especially as I don't know this person at all. I will send out an e-mail saying, "hey, I warned you. I said, you pay whether you see it or not if you told me to get a ticket for you" and everyone wrote back saying "okay, we get it already, stop harassing us, we'll be there." Well, now I'm justified in my harassment (not that lack of justification would have changed anything). I will get that money back or heads will roll. There are two solutions: I eat it or the girl who didn't show does, and I'm not willing to do the former. She was called, she said she was coming, she didn't show. This is not my problem. I missed my previews and nearly the movie before I gave up on her, and I waited a good twenty minutes (almost thirty after the time i requested people be there), I held up my end of the deal. Ironically, if Lizza hadn't clued me into the fact that, including the offender, I had ordered only 19 tickets and needed 20, I wouldn't have this problem. My sense of honor got me in this mess, and it will take $10.50 from a stranger to undo it. The only other possible solution is to ask for like $0.50 from other people attending, but you know what? That's not their fault either. The person at fault should pay, am I right?
Sigh, that was a buzz-kill, but the movie got me out of my bad mood and missing previews (Chronicles of Riddick!!!! DAMN YOU!), so it was worth it. And I did get to see the only other people loitering for as long as I was finally figure out what they were doing: they stole the Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban cardboard cutout when no one was watching. That was pretty cool. Also, paying only $10.50 for tickets with service charge is cool. I'll be heading to that theater again, methinks. Thanks to all who attended, you're truly gracious spirits for putting up with my guff and GROWLness, and for those who hated the movie and I snapped at them, I apologize. I had such a good time, I didn't want to go back to the buzz-kill me. Also, apologies to Carrie for wringing her neck, literally (she did kind of deserve it, though), and to Ronnii for nearly breaking her neck.
LEEEEEFFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!! HAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!! OOOOOOOFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!! GOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
