Have you ever sat in a near-empty theater to only have someone come down the aisle and sit right in front of you? Torment!
Was traveling for work and went to a monday night showing in La Mirada CA.
I was the first one in and then a guy came down the aisle and sat right behind me. Moving into his seat he bumped the back of mine. I went all the way down the row and up two to get away and keep the guy in my sight. Eventually about 8 people and spread out.
A kid was running up and down the aisle repeatedly. I reach out and caught him with my left armed curled around his waist. I sternly exclaimed “Knock it off!” He went back to his seat near the front. Mother or whoever it was constantly looking over her shoulder in my direction. A lot of smiles elsewhere.
I am not a passive person, usually the first one to speak out when a crowd seems puzzled or hesitant about doing anything. I am sure someday, I’ll pay a price or someone will.
