In the middle of the twenty minute show, he pulled out his cell phone, called up songs such as "America The Beautiful" and the deal by Lee Greenwood and others and attempted to sing along with his cell phone. All in front of his four kids and his very pregnant wife.<br /><br />At the end of the show when the noise subsided another neighbor screamed from across the way, "Hey, lady, birth control is your fiend!" I laughed out loud and the idiot below wanted to come up and fight me. Fortunately, his wife said it was not me who said and it was time to go home. I had stood up at that point and he saw my cane and then said, "You don't know how lucky you are, jack*ss." I kept my mouth shut and he wandered off muttering curses into the night.<br />Kevin R.

Having to deal with thoughtless, inconsiderate, stupid people is probably the main one. Sorry that you had to put up with those idiots, Bill, but, given my own recent encounters with the same type of boors, it doesn't appear that things are on the road to improving anytime soon. I hope you are having a great trip in spite of idiots.<br /><br />sasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-13078862504063453952016-07-05T13:01:25.305-05:002016-07-05T13:01:25.305-05:00Too bad you didn't have Marshall McLuhan with ...Too bad you didn't have Marshall McLuhan with you. <br /><br />The worst movie experience, Deb, was when we went to see The Dark Knight and there was a young woman a couple of rows in front of us in a nearly empty theater who, rather than paying a babysitter, brought her 3 year old son with her. Naturally, he asked her incessant questions - loudly. We tried to get her - politely - to do something and then suggested it was not a movie for a 3 year old, upon which she opened her very foul mouth. <br /><br />The management (sic) was unwilling to do anything but give us a refund.
