So I was at the movie theater...

So, I was at the movie theater, and I was going to get a popcorn, pop, and some skittles. Then I found out that I didn't have enough money, so this guy comes in and helps to cover it for me. After that part, I got humiliated, because there was quite a bit of people in the room I was in at the theater.

Just got to remember to bring more money is all.

Long live the ATM card.

I've been in a similar situation a few times. Once, I was out with my gf, and found I didn't have any cash on me at all (I had left it at home; forgot to replace it, since I leave it at home when I go to work). Fortunately, I had my bank card, so I wasn't stuck without a way to pay.

The other times, it wasn't really me in the situation... I was the guy that put in the extra bit of cash. Nothing big; in one case, somewhere between $1 and $2 when the girl in front of me was a bit short for the pizza she was buying, and another case where a couple of kids were at EB games... I happened to overhear that they were about 75 cents short (the clerk wouldn't just pony up the 3 friggin' quarters himself, so I did).

Electronic banking FTW. Saves you from the panic attacks that come when you find out you have no cash.

This is why it pays to overestimate the possible expenditure on future stuff.

That is the exact reason I only go to the movies like.... once a year. I always get a $30 gift card for the movie theatre on my birthday(which is tomorrow yay! I can legally buy porn now... I mean... ahem... did I say that out loud?)

Yeah, $30 would probably cover about one movie. Two if you're a loner, but it's no fun to go see a movie by oneself.

Happy Birthday Arkis!!

Actually, most of the time when I go to a movie theater to see a movie, I actually like seeing it by myself because that no one talks to you while it's playing, and I also make sure to be at a different seat whenever I see one. This is one of the reasons I like seeing a movie by myself.

Well, for me the fun of going to see a movie isn't the movie itself, but the experience of laughing alongside people you care about (assuming it's a comedy). I can't go to the theaters by myself, no matter how much I want to see a movie. Even if a new action movie came out in which Batman, Darth Vader, James Bond, and Chuck Norris all duked it out. Still wouldn't go alone.

Whenever I go to see a movie, I almost always go alone. It's more fun that way, because if you were going to go see a movie with someone you didn't know, what I would do is I would ignore them unless they said something to me. But like I said, if they didn't say anything, I would just ignore them and just enjoy the movie.

If they said something to me, I would just shake my head, trying to make a quick reply.
