Marshall and the Movies

You know what I hate?

Well, actually, if you read my factoids frequently, you know a lot of things that I hate.  In fact, I probably talk about what I hate more than I talk about what I love.  Why is that?  Probably because its more entertaining to listen to me talking about what I hate…

But anyways, things I hate #24601:

Theaters with no leg room.  I went to see “Avatar” in IMAX today, and they packed in so many rows that there is so room between them.  I had my friend wait in line while I went to go get some Buncha Crunch and popcorn, all the while with the need to use the restroom.  During my seven centuries waiting for the line to move, he managed to get in the theater to get us seats.  I couldn’t relieve myself toting around a bag of popcorn, so I had to go into the theater, deposit the goods, and squeeze back out.

But there was a slight problem with the plan.  My friend had plopped down two seats away from a very large man who, in order for me to get by, had to stand up and scoot back.  As soon as I sat down with the food, I knew I would feel bad having to make him get up two more times.  Yet at the same time, I could not sit through a 2 hour and 40 minute movie holding my bladder.

I had to awkwardly inch past the man two times.  I felt so bad making him get up, and I walked down the aisle muttering some idiotic combination of, “So sorry…excuse me.”

And to think, it could have all been avoided with a little leg room.
