Okay okay. I know, I already wrote a mini rant. Actually the last blog would probably have better suited to a FB update or twitter update. But pffish, you guys enjoy reading my blogs so much more than my status updates right?

Anyway, I should have mentioned this in the previous post but it didn’t occur to me.

Anywho, I had bought my movie tickets online. Yup who cares about the $1 booking fee. Sigh. They should totally make it free to book things online. Anyway, we got there at like 3:10pm, 5 minutes before the movie was gonna start. Lined up on the “Red carpet” but as usual, you get ignored for 1 or 2 customers before they notice the “VIP customer”. When I got to the counter, I just handed them my iphone which had the tag, the woman tried to scan my iphone with the barcode scanner. I’m not too sure on the science of the barcode scanner but I’m pretty sure it doesn’t work on lcd screens. I might be wrong though. Anyway, my iphone had the orientation lock switched on meaning you can’t turn it sideways for it to switch (I tend to read my emails in my bed lying down). Anyway, she hands it back to me after failing to scan the screen and asks me to make it horizontal. I tell her to just type in the code herself. She obliged. I mean come on, you would rather go into the effort of handing the iphone back, wait for me to make it “horizontal” and then for you to waste another 10 seconds trying to scan the damn thing when you have the keyboard right infront of you and can actually just type in the 10 or so characters? Anyway, this didn’t tick me off, lazy people are lazy.

So I got into the cinema and the ads are playing and everything is dark. Toby was the seating person! I didn’t even recognise him since it was so dark but he was like “Hey John!” and I was a bit too shocked to reply but it clicked. Anywho, I got to my seat and yup, some dude and his kid were in our seats.

“Err, excuse me, I think you’re in our seats”

“No we’re not”

“I think you are…this is L7 and L8″

“This is K”

“No…K is infront of you”

“Wait…yeah…we’re in L”

“Okay…but we’re in those seats”

This is where Toby and this other seat checking dude came to assist in this god complicated mess.

“Can I see your ticket?”

“We bought these online”

(Who the fuck cares if you bought them online…I bought my tickets online. Since you bought them online you should know exactly where you’re sitting)

“Yes but can we just see your ticket just to make sure there hasn’t been any mistakes”

“Are you calling me a liar?”

(No you dumb fuck. We just want to check your fucking ticket since my tickets clearly says L7 and L8.)

“No, but we just need to make sure there’s no mistake”

The guy grudgingly takes out his ticket and surprise fucking surprise L9 and L10. The guy then acts all confused as if he doesn’t have a place to sit.

“It’s no big deal, just move down a seat”

“Oh…sorry.”

Stupid idiot is stupid and an idiot.

Did I mention that they were asking questions during the film as well? Not to mention laughing at inappropriate times. It’s the fucking Chinese culture you ignorant fools. Talk about ruining the moment. Sigh. Okay. Rant over.
