@supermoviebufflord6 Going to watch “The Maze Runner!“
We entered the hallowed halls of – well, it was just Plaza Hall 2.
@supermoviebufflord6 If you want something right, you got to do it yourself.
“I wanted to book the two seats by the aisle, but you know Golden Village’s horrible booking system, if there’s one seat left in between, you cannot book…”
“It’s OK. After they changed management they took away everything user friendly.”
“Uh yeah so I booked those two seats.”They were the second and third seat from the aisle.
@supermoviebufflord6 Some people don’t realise that other people exist and move around them too.
We squeezed past the long-haired old man who sat at the aisle seat that was rightfully mine. He didn’t bother to compact himself and make any effort to ease our passage into the our seats.
As I sat down and prepared myself for “The Maze Runner,” I realised he had his elbow on the armrest.
@supermoviebufflord6 If you want two seats, pay for two seats.
He took up more than 50% of the space on the armrest.
You must understand that being larger, my default sitting position would have my arms spilling onto the arm rest.
I shot him a glare for daring to take up more than his alloted space (he already got the aisle seat) but he continued eating his popcorn nonchalantly.
@supermoviebufflord6 Sitting next to a loser watching a movie by himself.
He had to be, right? Who watches movies by themselves on a Friday night? He had to be some sort of sorry, pathetic wastrel in life who had nobody to accompany him on Friday night.
I had to endure contact with his arm for the whole movie. I pushed and made sure I got my rightful 50% armrest space.
@supermoviebufflord6 Men with long hair are abominations to society,
Do you remember Bulk and Skull? Specifically, Bulk from Power Rangers? In the dark, the old man looked like an old Bulk with long hair.
The opening credits rolled, and he coughed. Must have choked on his popcorn. He took a swig from his drink, and then proceeded to put the cold, frigid cup between us.
Touching my thigh.
@supermoviebufflord6 Some people have no concept of personal space.
He continued coughing, and took another loud sip from his drink. It probably wasn’t just choking. I could hear a wet cough.
@supermoviebufflord6 What kind of person drinks cold drinks when he’s sick?
I edged away, but I didn’t want to relinquish my armrest space and let Bulk win. I stared at him again. His hacking coughs interrupted the softspoken dialogue of the hero. How rude.
@supermoviebufflord6 Sick people should just stay at home. Don’t spread your germs everywhere.
Didn’t his parents teach him how to behave? How inconsiderate could you be to exercise your own freedom at the expense of someone else’s health. Maybe that was why Bulk was watching a movie alone in the cinema. Maybe that’s why he had nobody. I couldn’t imagine someone twice my age watching a movie all alone in the cinema.
@supermoviebufflord6 People can love you, but that doesn’t mean they can tolerate you.
Perhaps he had someone, but went through a terrible divorce. Must have been all these inconsiderate habits of his. That must be it. Bulk must have driven his wife to leave him.
@supermoviebufflord6 Please learn basic courtesy.
And then he crossed his legs, putting one leg over the knee of the other.
Pointing his foot at me.
@supermoviebufflord6 Some people shouldn’t reproduce.
I didn’t know how much more of his rudeness I could take. If Bulk had children, they would have been driven away by his thuggish demeanour. Surely, if this were my father, I would have told him off for his behaviour long ago. Hopefully he didn’t have any offspring. We didn’t need more of his DNA in this world.
@supermoviebufflord6 You make the mess, you clean it up.
The long-haired fool spoilt my entire show. Were all old men like this? As the lights came on, Bulk hastily got up, leaving his popcorn box behind.
“Hey! Aren’t you going to clear your rubbish?”
He pretended he didn’t hear me, and scurried off.
@supermoviebufflord6 Don’t rub your good fortune in other people’s faces.
“You didn’t like the show ah? I saw you Tweeting the whole time.”
“Oh, er, no, I liked it.”
Well, you didn’t have to fight for your armrest space the whole movie.
@supermoviebufflord6 Wish tickets were printed on cardboard instead of flimsy paper like nowadays.
I took my wallet out and carefully put my movie ticket stub in. Golden Village might have forgotten some traditions, but I didn’t.
@supermoviebufflord6 People surprise you.
Bulk tapped me on the shoulder. What on earth did he want? Didn’t he inflict enough suffering on me throughout the movie?
“You dropped this.”
It was my wallet.
He left before I could say thanks. That’s when I saw him wheeling his disabled mother away.
@supermoviebufflord6 Don’t judge a book by its cover.
And I realised that he scurried off so quickly because the disabled seating was on the other end of the cinema.
And he would probably never have time for a spouse or children of his own, because he had to take care of her.
And even though he was sick, he still took his mother out for a movie.
@supermoviebufflord6 Bulk turned over a new leaf in later seasons of Power Rangers. I wonder if anyone remembered that?
