Dear Sir,
I am glad that you decided to take your wife/girlfriend/date to the movies. I do realize that the movie theater was semi-full. However, I feel the need to tell you that for whatever reason in this world we have decided that it is common courtesy to leave one chair between yourself and a stranger.
Yes, I do realize that there are times when the theater is so packed that you cannot avoid the situation and you must sit right next to a stranger. When this is not the case, please don't plop down next to a stranger and then use the arm rest that his/her drink is sitting in as though you own it. Did your mother never teach you any manners?
You see dear sir, I only get to go see movies on a rare occasion because my hubby does not like to go. So, when I do go to a movie it is a real treat. I kind of like my personal space when it is possible. If you by chance read this letter, please be aware of this and don't do it again. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Me

Don't you just hate that? I think that's a huge reason why we don't go any more than we do. That and the $$$.
ReplyDeleteI love open letters like this.
LOL, I am right with you! I hate people sitting next to me!
ReplyDeleteI never had that happen but sounds creepy. I guess that is why I wait till the DVD comes out.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Funny letter. It is so true. There is an understood unspoken rule to seating. Even in waiting rooms at the doctor's office this rule applies. Kind of funny and so obvious when someone doesn't have the social skills to know the rules :)

I am already following you but i just though ti should stop by and say hello! I hate when people invade my personal space too.. it's actually a common practice here in Germany.. they stay so close to you in the tram station, checkout lines, doctor's office.. even in the bank where you should keep the distance when i am cashing out of my ATM... they stay so close as they could breath in your moth.. i hate that and i always ask people to back off a little.. they look strange at me and some even react as i insult them.. but come on it's common sense for crying out loud.. right??? back me up on this one gall:)
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday!

I'm a new follower and really enjoyed this post! I guess I should be thankful to live an area with the theater is never more than 1/8 of capacity because it would totally creep me out to have a stranger touching my drink... You go girl!
