  • Messed with some kids (kinda sucky on my part)

    Last Sunday i was doing the theatre thing again. There were several problems with my job that night.

    1. I was stuck in the lobby all night (boredem insues)

    2. I had to stay there until we closed (like 10:30)

    3. I had to get up early the next morning to go to class.

    Needless to say, I was in a pretty crummy mood. Now every so often during the night i would have to check the male bathrooms to make sure that they were clean and orderly. You'd think with it being a slow night that they would just take care of themselves. Sadly this isn't the case (I swear, if you're 30 and don't flush after you use the toilet you fail at life)

    So I'm checking the bathrooms and R rated movies to make sure no kids are sneaking in (even on a slow night, this can happen)

    I round the bend and there are three teeny boppers standing around, giggiling and talking.

    Now, any one who has read some of my previous posts know that i have a low tolerance for the teeny boppers. Their annoyance infuriates me.

    I was already in a off mood to begin with and they sorta added fuel to the fire.

    TB: teeny bopper
    Me: who else would it be?

    TB: *in a high, annoying voice that they all seem to have when they want to bug the crap out of you* HI! How are you.

    Me: Dying a little bit each day.

    <insert startled laughter>

    I check my shows and head back to the lobby.

    TB: Did you say that you were dying?

    Me: (I'm not dying, i just wanted to yank their chains) Yeah.

    Tb: I'm sorry (like that's really sincere)

    Me: Well, we're all dying. From the time you take your first breath, you've already signed your death warrent. (Thank my pharmocology proffesor for this nugget of info) *i tap my temple* Think about it.

    As i head back toward the lobby i can hear her go "Oh my god!"



    So maybe i was sucky, but i was having an off night. Sue me.
    Screw normal. You know why? 'Cause if you're normal, the crowd will accept you. But if you're deranged, the crowd will make you their leader.

      Knock them down a peg or two, always good to gently (or not so in this case) that they're not al lknowing beings.
      A PSA, if I may, as well as another.

        You know, it might just be me, but I'm totally failing to see the suck on their part. So people who may historically have been annoying is sucky now? Or was it the not-totally-sincere "I'm sorry?"

          Even if you don't like "teeny boppers" they didn't seem at all disrespectful to you.

          "Hi! How are you?" The horror. Maybe their parents should teach them manners.

          Somtimes, we all just have to grit our teeth together and just put on a brave front. Or! Take out our frustrations on the people that deserve them... not some kid that asks how you're doing.

            I tell ya, some people's kids...

            I mean, this teeny-bopper girl went up to you and said "Hi!" And if that weren't enough, she asked how you were!

            The nerve. Somebody ought to lock her up in a room with Miss Manners and not let her out until she learns to keep her big mouth shut!



            Yeah, I too fail to see any suck on the part of the teeny-boppers, and I think your answer was uncalled for. You could have just said "fine" and left it at that. Just because you're having a bad day doesn't mean you get to take it out on anybody else.

              I'm in two minds. I'd quite happily joke with people who were in for a laugh, and perhaps there was a slight misjudging of what was considered funny by them - been there, done that. However, there are some lines I won't cross, usually for good reason. If you're joking about something that is apparently terminal illness, it would affect how they act around someone who has a genuinely life-shortening condition.

              I'd not go so far as to say that you acted overly suckily, but I'm offering a little perspective.

                      Life is a sexually transmitted disease, there's no cure, and it has a 100% mortality rate.

                      I really am optimistic, I swear!

                      As far as those girls, they were probably up to no good. I have no faith in teeny bopper girls in movie theatres. Probably because they can't seem to STFU in horror films that they probably aren't old enough to be in anyway. *grumbles* But those girls weren't doing anything *visibly* wrong...

                      Oh, and I"m reminded of a They Might Be Giants song, "Older"
