A while ago my neighbor told me about his trip to the movie theater. He had waited a long time to see this particular movie. As he entered the movie theater a little late he was happy to see that there was only one other person in the theater or maybe it was a couple. So he picked a spot right smack in the middle as any normal human would do. After the movie had been running about ten minutes a man came in, looked all around and sat down right next too him! I think I would have had to have a scene right then and there. That is just too weird and freaky. Being the polite man that he is he just kept quite and watched the movie all through that mans lip smacking and crunching of a huge barrel of popcorn and sluppring a huge drink.
Today I went to get my hair cut and I sat in the far corner because the sun was beaming in on the rest of the chairs. About four chairs to my right, all empty. And across the room about five more empty chairs. Now I am by no means an unfriendly person. I love too meet new people, really I do. So in walks an elderly man, he looks around at all of the chairs and comes right up and sits in the one next too me. I smiled and said hello. I really did wonder though why would he sit right next too me? That just seems like an odd thing to do. At least he wasn’t a creepy, gross old man. Not that I could tell anyway. We talked and he was quite entertaining but still wouldn’t it be a little more normal to put at least one chair between us? Whats up with people because I know I don’t smell that good. My neighbor usually does though. Maybe thats what happened in his case. He wears nice colonge but I am allergic too perfume. So whats the deal? Really people whats the deal. Don’t sit so close. It’s creepy.
That is creepy x 2.
In a darkened movie theatre, I know I would have stood up and moved over a few seats while whispering, “Nothing personal.”
In the daylight of a hair salon, I’m not as sure, but I probably would have stood up, grabbed a magazine, and picked a different seat.
totally agree, I would have gotten up, moved and probably wouldn’t have even cared if they did take it personally. Doesn’t everyone have a bubble?
