  • "But It's Supposed To Be Free!"

    Me and some friends went to the Boston Museum of Science yesterday for their welcome back event. Basically around four they closed off the entire museum to the general public, and from 4 to close college students could come in, show ID, and get free admission to the exhibit halls and two free tickets to any of the ticketed shows. It was a nice idea. All you had to do was wear this sticker on your shirt at all times.

    So it's just before 9, and I'm in the gift shop looking at jewelry and Space Ice Cream, and I see a girl approach a cashier with her items. I missed the actual total, but I know it was over $80. Not to this girl.

    DG: Dumb Girl
    PC: Patient Cashier

    DG: It's College Free Day. *stands there expectantly*
    PC: I know.
    DG: *still waiting*
    PC: So....it's $xx.xx
    DG: No it ain't.
    PC: Ee-yes, it is.
    DG: Uh, no it ain't.
    PC: *prepares herself for one hell of an argument*
    DG: It's College Free Day. Everything's free.
    PC: No....you got in for free. You saw IMAX for free. You saw the laser show for free. This stuff doesn't count.
    DG: Well, it should. That's bait-and-tackle, there (No Kidding. That's what she said)
    PC: It's what?
    DG: False advertising. Everything's free and you aren't doing it right. You're a horrible employee.
    PC: No...I'd be a horrible employee if I let you strut out of here with all that stuff without paying for it.

    By this point a guy I assumed was her boyfriend strolled up to the counter. I saw the cashier grip the counter- I guess she sensed a war.

    BF: Baby-cakes, we got in for free. I see nuttin' in here that says that necklace is free, too.
    DG: False advertising.
    BF: It wasn't advertised anywhere...now, pay the cashier and let's go.

    She never paid, she just left all her stuff there and walked out. BF apologized and helped put everything away. He muttered something like "Must've drawn the short straw when I got her," before leaving.

    A level-headed boyfriend. Holy liberty.

    Good on him for not joining his GF in the bitchery.

        He probably dumped her after he caught up to her.

            Gold. Pure gold.

            I might have said "That's what I get for drinking until she's smart" or something like that if it were my girlfriends acting like such a ditz.

              I laughed totally hard out loud at "bait and tackle". Thank you for that.

              What a moron, how does she think the museum stays in business if it makes everything free?

                Highlight for extremely crude response to that question: Maybe she just gives good head?

                    I honestly have no clue, I buried my face in a giant clownfish plushie because I was about to crash onto the floor laughing at her "logic".

                    And OT, if you ever get to go, I definitely recommend the laser shows set to music. Last night I saw Laser Led Zeppelin. Total awesomeness.

                      I know that, at least when I was in college, I recognized that the probability of my finding a lifelong mate in between classes and work was close to zero. As such, I dated some pretty dumb/annoying/shallow/uninteresting girls based less on how much I could stand who they were and more on how much... um... fun they provided me with. Savvy?

                      My guess is that he was in it for reasons along the lines of the above invisible text.

                        I need somewhere hard to smack my head. Somewhere really, really HARD!

                              How'd she get into college?
                              that part's easy. Someone paid her tuition.
                              ... and whomever was that silly must have drawn the short straw too.

                              And I'm pretty sure why he's with a "short-straw" girlfriend too.... Free milk (ahem). bout the only reason to be with someone who's stupid, eh?
