Might have enjoyed it more if the next table hadn't been occupied by a moron who never took off his hat, wore cut-off shorts, and demanded a cheeseburger (which isn't even on the menu there). Didn't even finish the burger once they went to another location to get one -- he was too busy chatting loudly on his cell phone, as was his daughter.
Who, me bitter about a magical experience spoiled by SGs? Perish the thought!
Okay, these are two faux pas which drive me crazy.
#1 Boys and girls, Moms and Dads-one
REMOVES one's hat indoors. No, I'm not thinking rides at WDW and I admit there might be certain religious edicts that call for a chapeau to be worn indoors (think yamaka). But wearing your baseball cap (backward or forward) whist sitting in a movie theater or restaurant has no such imperative. It's wrong. Period. No excuse.
#2 Why does everyone think that we want to hear the details of their lives? I REALLY don't care about little Susie's latest bon mot or Johnny's antics. Recently, while at Barnes and Nobles I was sitting in a nice comfie chair looking through some books when the archetypal "Cowboy" comes strolling by. His cell phone rings and he launches into a long dissertation on how he did in a rodeo down south and how he made his horse buck by cinching a strap over its n**s.
I've heard discussions like this before but I'm fairly sure the 13-14 yr. old girl in the seat next to me hadn't. (She turned a lovely shade of crimson.) Yet he had no compunction about telling the world the sordid details. But the lowest circle in hell should be reserved for folks who use their cells in theaters. Either shut it off or set it to vibrate and step out of the room to take the call. How hard is that to do?
