Wasted… you Jerks.

Before you read this post, make sure you check out Jenn’s Jerk at the Movies!

Time for a little bit of a different look as to what happened at the movies last week.  To recap, I got a call from Jenn letting me know that there was a couple lighting up in the theatre she was in.  Well… that’s a pretty bad idea in the first place.  Do you really want the be the one to cause a fire in the theatre?  They probably weren’t thinking about that, but I was personally looking forward to kickin em out!  I don’t know why, that gives me some satisfaction getting troublemakers out of there.

Anyway, when I got in there, there wasn’t anyone lighting up.  Was a little thankful for that for sure.  I did see a couple crawling around on the floor with their cell phones though.  Erg.  Annoying.  Well, it’s my job to diffuse these before they become real situations, so I headed on over to their row to see if I could quickly help them find what they were looking for.   Boy, was I in for a shock.

Turns out that the two of them were not lighting up… they were just looking for a $15000 wedding ring.  I’m not sure how true that was, but when I asked them if there was anything I could help with, they practically blew me over with the amount of alcohol on their breaths.  The guy was fine, and just told me that they were looking for something.  But the woman… man she was out of it.  She stumbled around, and was screaming that she lost her ring.  They’re doing this while the movie is going on, mind you.

I managed to get them out of the theatre so I could talk to them at least, and for some reason, they didn’t get it that they were causing a disturbance.  Another couple actually almost had a confrontation with them outside cuz they were being so loud.  Finally, I got them to agree to be quiet and they went back into their movie.  I told them that I would help them try to find their ring as soon as the movie got out, that it wasn’t going anywhere if it was in fact in the theatre.  Of course it wasn’t long before they were talking again, and I had to go speak to them again….

Some people just don’t get what it means to be quiet.  In any case, they calmed down after I spoke to them again, and I was down there right when the movie ended to help them look for the ring.  This couple, on the other hand, was passed out, and they didn’t even realize I had turned the lights on.  We spent about 15 minutes looking for the ring, but to no avail.  I really didn’t expect it to be there.  I personally think they lost it somewhere else.  Anyway, on their way out, I saw that they were still really stumbling, so in the interest of their safety, I informed the local police that they should be on the lookout for a couple of drunk drivers.  They got them, and I’m assuming they made it home safely that night.

So maybe these two weren’t really Jerks, but they definitely made for a long and eventful night.  If you’ve taken anything from this, don’t go to the movies so drunk that you can’t even enjoy the movie.  You’re just being a Jerk to everyone else.

Later, Folks!
