    Minor annoyances from yesterday

    Those who ignore the number system

    Two kids come my way to see a show. I take one look at their tickets and see that their heading the wrong way.

    Me: Sorry guys, you're show is over that way.
    Them: Which side is this.
    Me:Theatres 1-10
    Them: How do you know that

    I point my index figner up, signaling the giant neon sign that says 1-10

    Them: How did you know which theatre we're in?
    Me: There's a giant number printed on your ticket stub.

    They walk away.

    Me (inside my head) Morons

    Let me sleep

    To make a long story short, I had just gotten back from a road trip to New York city. I didn't get home until 2 in the morning and had to work that following day at 12:30. Needless to say I was still kinda tired even after getting a good 8 or 9 hours of rest. So it really makes me vexed when I'm standing at the ticket stand, which is mentally unstimulating , and start to zone out. Only for some asshat to say, "Wake up" (insert light laughter from them)

    F U. If I wanted to be awake and cheerful, I would have downed 3 energy drinks and some caffeine pills. Go see your movie and leave me the hell alone.

    I am not a mind reader nor a dicator of time and space

    AH: asshat
    Me: The avenging hero
    Italics: my thoughts

    AH: What time does the next show start
    Me: Of what?
    Seriously, we have 20 theatres showing
    AH: Indiana Jones
    Me: At what time?
    We have it playing in 5 f-ing theatres and you can't be anymore specific?
    AH: Insert time that I didn't bother to remember

    I turn my head to the theatre directly behind me, which is the one he wants.

    Me: Insert time that I forgot for this post
    AH: Oh, okay, thanks.
    Screw normal. You know why? 'Cause if you're normal, the crowd will accept you. But if you're deranged, the crowd will make you their leader.

      I'm not a complete blazing moron like you. Other side, please.
      Excuse me, good sir paladin, can you direct me to your EVIL district?

        Maybe they were really perplexed, and thought you were psychic. In which case you should have said, "and by the way, you will suffer male pattern baldness at 25, and you will die in a bear attack at age 40. Enjoy the movie."

        Ugh.. nothing I hate more than that. Maybe I have a damn good reason for being sleepy and not so damn chipper. Maybe I was up all night saving an orphanage full of quadriplegic children. Maybe I have to work nights because of this fantastic economy. Maybe my dog got run over and I had explosive diarrhea all night. You don't know SC, and it's none of your damn business. 95% of us drag our happy asses to work because we need the $$, not because we love our jobs. And even if we do, it's no guarantee we're gonna be Mary F-n Poppins awake and cheery every shift. People suck.
        I will never go to school!

          That was one of the best things I've read all year.

              I've done that. At the ticket point.

              My manager J saw me and walked the length of the cinema to say "WAKE UP!" And I did. She thought it was hilarious.

                The thing with kids going to different numbered cinemas than the one they held tickets for is sometimes they buy tickets for something PG and then go straight for the R or N17 movie instead. Used to happen all the time where I worked at but I was a hardass on checking ids for R movies because the local cops had raided us a few times.

                  Yes! Thank you! I can't count the multitude of times across many jobs I've had, in which people do that to me. Even at say, 6am, or close to midnight. It makes me want to find them at -their- job and do the same thing. Since, you know, the people who do that to workers are -obviously- awake and chipper every minute of -their- job. Sheesh.

                  My immediate mental reaction to people like that...

                  SC: Wake up!
                  Me: (thinking, split second later) $^&* you! GTFO.

                  Side note: I'm not a "happy" person anyway, hardly smile unless I'm in a seriously good mood... so I've had people do that to me when I honestly was awake and alert. Gnargle...
