    I've had my share of confrontations in movie theaters. That's generally why I avoid going to the movies. It's fun to see how shocked people get when you tell to STFU in front of everyone.

    I went to see Frost/Nixon this past weekend. Just a bunch of old hippies in there so I figured everything would be cool, right? Wrong.

    Buncha frickin' noisy slobs. It's getting to the point where I HATE going and dealing with people. My gf says I have anger issues, I tell her it would all be cool if people just didn't piss me off. :D

    People are just inconsiderate. My wife and I say they're from Me-Land. They're still one step below the I-Don't-Manage-My-Kids-In-Public people. I've been tempted on more than one occasion to tell a kid that if they don't knock it off, I'm going to kick their dad's ass in front of them. :D

    I spent 6/7 (don't remember exactly) hours on a flight to London behind those people.

    Correction--behind their kids. They sat in front of their kids, listening to music on headphones and blissfully unaware of just how annoying, loud, and disrespectful their kids were being. I strongly suspect that the seating arrangement was no accident.

    It was an overnight flight, and we were SO ********ing tired by the time we got to Heathrow.

    Not only do I understand, but if I were in his jury, I would be very careful to throw out the guilty vote. The article clearly shows that the confrontation was verbal until the victim got up and approached the shooter. If there was intent to injure, then the man has a right to defend himself.

    I'm not sure about Pennsylvania law, but generally you cannot use deadly force (firearm) until deadly force is threatened. You must retreat or match physical force with physical force. Some might have argued assumption of risk if this had been a gangsta flick.
    On a lighter (pun intended) note :D : http://www.nydailynews.com/money/2008/12/29/2008-12-29_beverly_hills_doctor_accused_of_using_fa.html

    88-year-old Oregon woman grabs intruders by "cahoochies"

    "Before whatever plans the suspect might have had, the woman reached behind her and grabbed the man by the crotch, 'giving him a good squeeze', McRedmond said.

    He added, "The man tore free and ran back out the way he had come in."


    AWESOME.

    A side effect of people's growing inability to distinguish between "weary" and "wary" is that I have no idea what that sentence means, because in that context, both words work.

    This reminds me of the story of the non-identical twins who were separated at birth and ended up marrying and having kids. Only when they went on a search for their birth parents did they find out they were actually brother and sister. :eek:
