stupid boyfriend

[Broomjockey]

I got this story from a co-worker. Apparently it happend on my day off.

There was a girl who was absolutely terrified of snakes. Her boyfriend decided she needed to get over this fear, so he had the brilliant idea of taking her to. . . Snakes on a Plane!

As the movie progressed to the part where the snakes start attacking people, she got more and more upset, crying, trying to hide (and supposedly got hit by a door while hiding), and finally returning to her seat, starting to foam at the mouth and tensing to the point of being completely rigid.

A customer was a little annoyed by the crying, before things got too bad, and got an usher. As things escalated, mall security was call to get her out of the theatre, because noone knew exactly what was happening still.

Finally, the paramedics are called, and they remove the girl from the theatre, with her staying in the position she had been curled up in (they had to bodily carry her out.)

I was told she had a heart attack or something from the fear.
Frankly, I think when she recovers, the girl should castrate the SOB.

Why wait until she recovers? Castrate him now. He's not going to be getting any with that particular brand of empathy anyway.
Please note: Juwl does NOT condone violent action, even against those who deserve it. Juwl is just having a little fun while the night is still too young.

why would she go see the movie anyway?

im in no way removing fault from the boyfriend but I have a morbid fear of waster.... Im not about to go see Deep Blue Sea am I?

[blas]

What an ass. It sounds like a boyfriend I had back in high school. I have always and WILL ALWAYS be terrified of clowns (I'm even terrified of Ronald McDonald!), so what movie does this guy put in one night on one of our dates? Yes....IT. He knowingly did it to prove that clowns are nothing to be scared of.

Ass. I dumped him like a bad habbit.

That's a good point - it's not like the title leaves anything to the imagination concerning the film's subject matter, is it? It's called Snakes on a Plane, for Gord's sake.

But yeah, the guy is still an idiot.

ugh, why do guys who do crap like that and have no respect for their girlfriend get girlfriends so easily yet guys who actually respect women rarely get girlfriends in comparison? it baffles me

Sad to say, but that's one of life's biggest mysteries. I have no clue why that is . :shrug:

As far as the OP goes: that girl needs to dump that jerk ASAP. I don't see it as the b/f trying to get his g/f over her fear - I see it as mental aabuse. Not a pretty road to go down, for that can lead to emotional and/or physical abuse.:(

I think that one's down to confidence. A confidant man will have a much easier time of attracting a mate than a guy saying something like: "I, um, was wondering if, um, er - oh look, a chipmunk."

Well, unless chipmunks are her thing...

What a jerk! I hope she does dump him and finds someone who respects her enough to not put her through something like that.

I had this with an ex-boyfriend once. I warned him one time "Don't ever sneak up on me. I don't like it and I tend to do bad things to the people who do it." So, approximately 8.3 seconds later, while I was buying lunch in the college cafeteria, he comes creeping up behind me with his big "BOO!" thinking he was cute.

I do have to admit, his nose did look cute after it healed...

Some guys just won't learn until you bodyslam them a time or two...

I think I can answer the rotten boyfriend question by saying women are bad judges of character. There was that boyfriend, who was 22 and already divorced with a baby (duh, that was my bad to stay with that one), there was the one who liked to describe to me all the ways he could kill someone with his trailer, there was the one in high school who cheated on me...with another guy...(thankfully, back then it wasn't yet classified a hate crime because I beat the shit out of them, although in my defense it was because they hurt me and not because they were two guys sleeping together. I didn't even realize there could have been legal ramifications until after I graduated three years later.)

Fortunately, I've realized I'm an asexual and I don't have to deal with this kinda crap anymore. :lol:

totally agree Raps

most nice guys dont come across as wanting to be boyfriends, they come across as wanting to be friends, if you want a girl, all you need to do is make you intentions clear (honorable intentions!)

dont worry Ryu, most girls settle for the nice guys in the end I did....

[Rapscallion]

The only problem with the eventual part is that there are an alarming number of people falling into the following categories:

a: The guy decides he may as well join a monastery, so he does.

b: The guy wistfully wonders about the twenty or so years of nookie he never had.

c: It's biological clock time!

So she should castrate her boyfriend for the simple fact that he tried to help her get past her fears? That makes no sense IMO. What he did may not have been the best idea in the world, but it's always said to face your fears to get past them. It doesn't seem like a malicious plan on the boyfriend's part at all IMO.

Also, it doesn't seem as if the girl was physically forced to go to the movie, she does have a mind of her own, doesn't she? And the title of the movie is nothing short of fully descriptive. If she didn't want to see the movie, then don't go or walk out of the theatre. She's a grown woman, why should someone (whether it be boyfriend, girlfriend, or simply friend) be blamed for the actions and decisions of an adult. If she didn't want to see the movie, she didn't have to, no one can be blamed for her decisions IMO. People have to take responsibility for their own life sooner or later.

As usual, nice guys finish last :(

I'm with Kibbles. If the b/f should be castrated, what punishment should the g/f get for voluntarily going to such a movie, disrupting it for other moviegoers, and wasting the paramedics time when they could have had an actual emergency? She put herself in that position. I have no sympathy whatsoever.

[One-Fang]

Why the freaking hell did she not just get up and leave?!

I realise she was catatonic, but there was a state between coherent and catatonic. She became frightened. She was crying and upsetting others. Some time just before that she was probably still very much capable of getting up and walking out, and should have.

The boyfriend's a dick for doing it, but I wouldn't condone any action further than dumping the insensitive prick. She saw the title come up. She saw snakes get loose (presumably - I haven't seen it). She knew what it was about, what was happening, and that she hates snakes. She absolutely should have simply got up and left.
