Seriously How Old Are You?

[tendomentis]

If that happened to me, I'd immediately assume she was trying to distract me so someone else could sneak in. No adult in their right mind acts like that unless they have a death wish.

To the 25-year-olds (and younger) who fear this being age related: Let me assure you that as long as you aren't a whiny entitlement-whore crybaby now, there is almost no likelyhood of you're becoming one when you start into your 27th year.

Did she really lose her wallet or is she one of those people who wanted to see a concert but didn't have any tickets? Or did she already have a ticket? Cause somebody who acts like that is clearly using the "sympathy" card to let them in if they don't have a ticket.

[karma_gypsy]

I am surprised no one recorded that and put in on youtube!

Well yeah, so at least she would be able SEE herself and the way she was acting.

It sucks she lost her wallet, but the way I see it is going to a concert is like getting on a boat: Don't take anything with you that you aren't prepared to loose.

And grow up for Gords sake. Didn't she realize that the police could *make* her leave if she was causing too big of a disturbance-with or with OUT her stupid wallet?

Obviously not. Wish they would have! THAT would have been equally entertaining to watch.

I'll hit 26 in December. If this turns out to be universal, I'll let you know so you can prepare yourself for it.

Well, I just turned thirty- and I can assure you, I have not had a temper tantrum like that in at least 25 years.

I had something similar happen to me years ago. My junior high and high school sponsored trips to the Holiday Folk Fair in Milwaukee each November and I went with some friends one year.

When I arrived at the arena downtown, the first thing I did was check my coat so I wouldn't have to drag it around all day. It was a big expensive Starter jacket my parents had bought for me not too long before the trip.

Then when it was approaching time to get back on the bus to go home, I went to go get my coat--and discovered somehow I had lost my coat check ticket.

I explained my situation to the lady working there, and at first she didn't believe I had brought a coat there. Understandable, after all you don't want somebody making up a story to run off with somebody else's coat. But I was able to describe that I had left a hat and gloves in there, I described exactly how they looked, and they went through the racks and found my coat. I made sure to thank them profusely.

I was getting pretty scared shitless there, because it was approaching the point where my only options would be to go home without my expensive coat my parents bought for me, or to wait it out and have the bus leave without me, and then I'd have to call my parents to come to Milwaukee and navigate through the downtown to pick me up. But I handled it much better than the lady in that story, and I was only 14 or 15 at the time.

The last time I went to a concert, the back window of my boyfriend's pickup truck got smashed. The theives made off with roughly $1,700 worth of stuff. We hadn't gotten to our hotel yet, so they took his overnight bag. Plus, they snatched his work bag, containing an I-Pod, GameBoy, and a bunch of his work gear, among other things. Were there tears? No. Was there kicking and screaming? No. Was he polite to the police who tried to help? Yes. Was he even polite to the panhandler who came up asking for money? Yes. (Actually, the guy helped us flag down some cops.) That's not to mention all the frustration of filing a police report, insurance reports, etc. And she threw a tantrum over one wallet? Give me a break!

Bummer.

The last concert I went to was Tool. They rocked. I was supposed to go to Nine Inch Nails the last time they were here but my Grandpa was dying so I went to see him instead. I sold the ticket to my friend.

BTW I love your username.

I'm exactly the same way. The concerts I like going to are often not the nicest locations or crowds, so I always plan ahead. I always make sure I have the smallest wallet I own, with only the things I absolutely need in it, and put it in a front pocket of my jeans so I know it's there. Do the same thing at football games as well, actually.

Back to the topic at hand, kudos to you, Princess, for giving her a hard time, as she deserved to be admonished for acting like a child. What an idiot.

Ah, good to see I'm not the only one stuck with working security at a venue where people forget that being an adult is a mindset, not just a number.
To be honest, the bar that I work security at has more than enough patrons in their early twenties, but by far the least mature people I deal with are the middle aged group. Obviously, this only applies to those who I have personally dealt with, and not the age group as a whole...but my goodness...some of the worst hissy fits I've seen have come from 45 year old women and men who think their age makes them exempt from public standards of behaviour. Liquor obviously makes things worse..but the other night when I escorted one such woman out, the fact that there were 22 year old girls shaking their heads at her lack of composure made me wonder whether liquor shouldn't be a further controlled substance.



Talk about a non entertaining reply on my part!!

and on the other end of the scale, I had a customer the other night who's mp3 player was stolen from his bag while in the store. He didn't want to bother me about it, and the only reason I found out was some other customers mentioned a certain seedy emo looking person stole someone's iPod when they were paying their bill.

of course the problem was solved, but the customer attitude of "well, it was my fault, i left my bag alone, i'm not going to bother the person working" really blew my mind

Did she use the term "meanie, meanie poo-poo head" even once? Because that would fit rightin with the rest of her actions. Good LORD! Someone's Momma didn't raise her right.
