It's my biggest annoyance at work these days. Is it too much to ask for a person to leave the room before bellowing down the phone? Often, consideration for others does not exist. Bastards.
Do you have coke?
The Magnited States should get with the times...In Canaduh, you absolutely cannot have your cell phones on or you will get a kick in the butt....for real.
...now, now, PB: though satisfying, violence never solved anything...

according to her. if she's ever lined up in an orange jumpsuit she'll probably plead 'not guilty.' thing is, it doesn't matter whether she's guilty of 'that much of a sin' because a) if things are to be taken at face value, the rules were clearly stated, and she clearly broke them, and b) the owners are betting on the likelihood that there are enough people who would choose that theater on purpose, over any other when they hear about this rule, and that it's being enforced there.
right, and did you read what i said at all? do you think they're the only "sneering holier-than-thou hipster pricks" in Austin, TX? if so you need better market research. all that needs to happen for the theater owners to win is that this ruckus causes more people to break toward their theater than away from it. i'm betting it worked better than they could've hoped.but the theater owners come across as sneering, holier-than-thou hipster pricks.
good for you that you find holier-than-thou hipster pricks distasteful. don't go to that theater then. tell you what though: if i have to choose to hang out with either holier-than-thou hipster pricks and texting cows with a bloated sense of entitlement, i'd go for the hipster pricks 8 days a week. that said, if i lived in Austin i'd consider opening a movie theater where you can text as much as you want, because they've written their ticket with that ad, they may have also written another blank ticket...

...dearest PB is easily excited: her last tutu lies shredded after a failed plie...
...that said, I agree with you, zeus: the theater owner is my kind of prick...
Yes the apologists have now at least TWICE ignored the fact she's admitted to making a habit of using her phone in most cinemas in the area. She got what she deserved, no matter how she was using it in this circumstance (which, as also noted, was against the rules anyway).
when i said i'd open a theater in Austin for texters, i never promised i would not stock the concession stand with Zyklon B cylinders...
