From my trip to the Buzz Aldrin book signing last night.
First off, there were issues. You don't book a 200+ book signing into your store's cafe area and expect people to be happy. Only about 100 got seats. Not good on the bookstore's part, but honestly, I doubt they thought it would be so popular. The sound system didn't really work, and it was crowded.
That said...
Passive-Aggressive Dude: Ok, I get that you don't like the fact that a lady joined her husband across the aisle, and now you can't see the podium. You do not have to keep whining about it, hoping that the lady will hear you. She is with her family, and obviously not going to move just for you. I don't care if you've been here longer--you made the choice to stand in the aisle, now shut up and grow up.
Rude Dude: I do not care that you have a telephoto lens for your camera. You do not have a press pass, so stop ordering people out of your way just because you've "been here for hours," which I highly doubt. If you really HAD been here for hours, you would have a seat, and not be stuck craning your neck around the aisles like the rest of us. Shut up and act your age.
SC Dude: I do not care that we are both on Twitter. You are still a douchebag. Your claim that you are going to write a nasty letter to Borders just because the book signing wasn't set up that well does not impress me. At this point, they KNOW it wasn't set up well. Write a letter if you like, but the tone you are claiming to take will not help you. Also, just because I am *gasp* a young female who is really into the space program does NOT mean that I find you at all attractive. Everything about you screams "I still live in my mom's basement." Go get a job at JPL, and then we'll talk.
Seriously, people complain all the freaking time! Just deal with the situation, and be glad you got to meet the second man to set foot on the freakin' MOON!
