Post a pet peeve.

I also don't go to the movie theater but that is because I'm a cheapskate. I'll wait 3 months and spend $3 to rent the movie instead of wasting $30

There is something to be said for going to the cinema with a bunch of friends, and experiencing a film on the big screen.

Which is what I'm doing in a couple of weeks time. Midnight screening of "Captain Marvel" at the Glasgow Science Centre IMAX.

Putting something away in a safe place, and being unable to remember where the hell you put the damn thing when you actually need it.

Story of my life. Learned to live with it and not to panic (which I usually do).

They got new rooms with supercomfortable seats (so much so I almost fall asleep every time) and they allow booze in the theater now. I can finally get drunk by myself in the dark, among strangers, which is nice.

It's the new trend! It hasn't reached you guys yet?

The booze yes, the comfy seats no.

[BruTak]

And don't start me on the lack of legroom in cinemas.

I've got bad knees and have to stretch out a bit, so I have to pick an aisle seat.

No booze allowed here, and even it was, you have to drive home after the movie...

Pet Peeve..

Stargate Command said my Founders Patch would be sent out at end of December. Gee, it's almost March 2019 and no patch yet.

Train fares.

Why does a single fare cost almost as much as a return fare?

You're only going half the distance, so logically it should only cost half as much.

[Chaka-Z0]

Wackos and their megaphones berating folks about religious stuff.

No I don't want to see your pro-life repulsive images of half-eaten zombie babies.
No I don't want to hear about how easy it is to accept Jesus in my heart.
No I don't want to know how bad Islam is VS Christianity.

Wait... wut? Single fare and return fare is the same is it not?

[BruTak]

Single fare = one way. Return fare = there and back again.

[Chaka-Z0]

Hmm.. right. Makes sense.. return you know, you go back... okay I feel stupid now

When did this start ? You go to Disney, or any other theme park, and when you stand on line at the food places, you have yourself, the guy within your arms reach in front of you, and the guy behind you within arms reach of you, then the guy in front of the guy in front of you just out of arms reach.... But you go to McDonalds or Taco Bell or whatever, and the guy in front of you is 12 feet from the guy in front of him at the counter.....

When did that start ?? I mean honestly, 12 feet between the guy in front of me, and the guy getting waited on at the counter. I get in front of the guy hanging back.

I dont see it in movies, but, when did it start ? Why all of a sudden now is there people hanging back from the guy getting waited on at the counter ??? Are there invisible people in front of him ?

some of them may have ordered already and were just waiting for their food and probably not wanting to clutter up the area near the service counter while they were waiting...not a problem now though as it seems like most of the McD's places in my area are going the "self-serve kiosk" route (this is what happens when the government places rather onerous business costs on businesses...cutting staff and replacing them with self-serve computers).

I think it's an extension of the distance banks encourage in their lines with the "wait here" signs, in order to provide privacy for banking transactions.

I'd rather self-order than wait in line like a penguin to order, then wait again to get my order, while fighting my way through families ordering feasts for their younglings.
