Who Da Man???

Ok so I had quite possibly one of the most romantic days ever today!!! I just got back from a hot date to a crappy movie, AND the night ended with fireworks. LITERALLY. One of life's little gifts... unexpected fireworks. **sigh**

Ok so back to the story. So we go to dinner tonight and our waitress was so slow. Now I've been a waitress, so I know... sometimes... it's not the waitresses fault. But this was bad. Like we should of known it was going to be bad from the moment we walked in and the greeter didn't greet us, nor did she seat us. So we stood there like idiots for about 5 minutes. Then finally SOMEONE came to seat us. Then the seater and the greeter argued about who would seat us. It was comical in a surreal way. Anyway no biggie, had dinner, took forever, but it was good.

Then we went to the movie. And I THINK it would of been good, except we missed the first TEN MINUTES because the goofballs had the movie playing but no sound. Then it was commercials, then it was something else. It was like bizzaro world. Then all of a sudden, I kid you not, there was this big, GIANT, ten foot bug on the screen. It looked like attack of the giant cockroach! I was laughing so hard I was crying. It was THAT funny. Other people were ticked but laughing. It was just soooo bizzazro! So I'm like what the heck... so finally a guy goes out there to tell the folks what was going on, and they're like oh ok sorry. So we get settled we get about 5 minutes into the sound (About 20 min into the movie now) and then the lights come on and the sound stops again. So they decide that they're going to move the cockroach right then and there from the video monitor. Meanwhile the movie is STILL GOING!

So finally I go out and ask for a manager, and I asked --politely--- if they could restart the movie cuz everyone was inside yelling about refunds and we've missed the first 1/2 hr and we just wanted to see the movie can we start over. And he's like NO. I said... "Huh?" and he said it's a projector and he can't restart the movie. So I go back in and everyone in the theater is like what did they say? Which cracked me up... what??? So now I'm theater spokesman girl? So I said he said he can't rewind the movie but if you leave now he'll give you a refund. So then somebody said I think we should watch the rest and STILL get a refund. So I sit for a minute then something else happens so I get up again and I go out there. I point the people who decided to leave to the guy. I"m like "He's over here, it's him."

So then I go up to Manager Mark and I say "Soooo is there any chance we can get a refund if we stay in the movie?" and he's like
"Sure"
"So let me get this straight I can walk back in there, finish the movie and when I come out you're going to give me my refund."
"weeelllll I don't know if I'm exactly comfortable with that."
"Wellllll, Mark, I drove 30 miles here, and my friend here is paying a babysitter. Anyway we can do this."
so he hummed and hawwweed and finally he was like well I'll give anyone a free pass, but .... and then he just kinda walked away from me. He never finished his sentence he just walked away. So I got a wee bit ticked. So I went back in the theater and told everyone (all 16 of us)
"His name is Mark, he's got long straight hair. He's in a yellow shirt. Find him after the show, if you prefer to stay, and he is the one with the free passes." So then everyone was like woohoo. Meanwhile I'm thinking, well... if he said he was going to, then he said he wasn't, and there is NO WAY he's going to be a punk with ALL of us there. (I mean this dude never even came INTO the theater to see what was wrong.)

So after the movie we all truck out to the lobby and these people were like we would like our free pass please. (Kid you not, we were the NICEST angry mob ever!) So the guys says... ok follow me, and we all file out and get free passes. WOOOOHOOOO.

And by the way the movie SUCKED!!!

perhaps it would of been better if I had seen the beginning. LOL.

It was fun, even with the slow waitress, the bad movie, and the crazy traffic. Thanks for an awesome date, Heather, you're the best! (and no pressure for that good nite kiss.... though with the mood setting fireworks.....)

Either way... moral of the story is, I got 16 people free movie passes, and I am DA man!!!! (or DA witch... you decide) :)
