I know some of you are going to flame me for this, but it's ok, because you've been brain washed to do so.  With that said, here's my story.

I went to the movie theater tonight to see X Men 3. We showed up an hour early so that we could get the prime seats, you know, the ones dead center in the front row with the bar.  Anyway, there was one couple in front of us in line, and they also chose the row with the bar approximately in the middle.

As you know, the norm at movie theaters is to leave a one seat gap in between you're group and the next group, so that way you don't intrude on their space... which if you ask me, is courteous thing to do, because nobody wants to be crowded if they don't need to be.

Anyway, a few minutes before the movie started (it started a little late, so technically, it was a few minutes after the movie should have started), a lone warrior comes up asking if the seat between myself and the girl of the younger couple was available (keep in mind, there were plenty of seats around the theater because we chose a later start time).

Before I give you the details of this encounter, let me tell you a little back story.  About a month ago, I witnessed this happen to someone else at a movie theater, and the person gracefully let the late straggler sit in the seat... And since that time, every time I've been at a movie since, I've pondered what I would do if a rude jack ass like that were to attempt to do that to me.

I came to the conclusion, that I would not gracefully tell him that the seat was taken, nor would I tell him the truth and let him sit there.

What I did was, tell him, that the seat was unoccupied, but he couldn't have it.  He started to go over the bar, then I told him, NO, you cannot have this seat.  I told him, I didn't sit in line for an hour to get the prime seats so some jack ass like you could come in at the last minute and crowd my space.  He told me, "so it's like that huh", in a very disappointed voice like I was an a******, I told him "ya, it's like that".  Then I looked at him with what I've been told is my scary face (which I haven't seen, but I know the feeling I get when it comes on).

Then I asked the girl next to me, "do you want this guy crowding you after you waited an hour for these prime seats?".  She goes, "I don't care" in a voice that sounded like, she really did care but wanted to avoid the conflict.  Then I said, well, I do care, and you are not going to sit in this seat.  Then her boyfriend gracefully said he could sit in the seat next to him, which I think he did it to lessen the tension that was imposed on his girlfriend (or date) by this jerk off.

As soon as the guy snapped up the seat that he provided, the boyfriend looked at me and said, "I see your point though man, I see your point".

Anyway, if that guy would have proceeded to cross the bar, it would have meant his ass, so if by chance you are reading this, you should feel fortunate you didn't proceed.


Again, I'm sure this guy has gotten away with this tasteless, bullyish act many times.  Because there were even seats in between other people in the front row, but he chose to try and impose himself on me and that young girl because were at about dead center to the screen as you could get.  Also, I'm sure he's gotten away with it every time up until now, not because people truly don't care (because if they didn't care, they wouldn't have left a gap in the first place), but because of the pussification of the American Population.

So I say this on this fine Memorial Day, stand up for your rights as an American movie goer and don't let these a******s fill the gap.

Thanks for your support.
