brazil has fallen through (for the time being, there's always january).

i have a job at a friend's store (because, and i quote 'everyone hear sucks'). the job is an hour away, and crappy, but she's my friend.

now:

i was at a movie with amy. the movie started and the guy in the row in front of us answered his phone.

"hello," he said. "what's going on?"

i started to get up because, well, that crap really pisses me off in it's absolute rudeness. amy held me back.

"i'll send someone out," he said. "bye."

i let it go.

we watched the movie.

about an hour and a half later, the guy got a phone call.

he answered.

he said, "hello."

he said, "oh, i'm just at the movies, how are you?"

and that time amy let me go.

i got up, tapped him on the shoulder, said "sir, could you step outside when you're on the phone?"

and i went back to my seat.

he said, "what's your problem, can you hear anying?"

mad and angry like.

and it threw me for a second, because i mean, well, i thought he was asking if i was upset that i could hear the other person on the phone, because... well, he's got a damn loud voice, and i wouldn't have approached him if i couldn't hear him.

because it wouldn't have been a damn issue.

but when he said that, people in front of him turned around, someone behind us yelled out, i had the theater pulling for me.

so i said, "yeah, i can hear you."

and then he called me an asshole.

i left to cool off and to let an employee know that if he answered the phone again they'd have to deal with it, just giving them a heads up, but i guess, when i left, he said crap about me, which i didnt find out until after he left, which i guess is a plus.

i mean, good lord.

maybe he really didn't know how loud he was being.

but good fucking lord, how... i don't know, how hard is it to realize that you just don't answer phones and have fucking conversations in a movie theater?

am i overreacting? a little, yeah, but mainly because i was raised to respect my elders (and this man was old) and this guy was rude and then reacted rudely.

earlier, a girl in the theater, maybe 20 or so, got a phone call, i saw her phone light up, and she got up and left.

it's the youth, man, the youth that knew how to behave.

amy calls me spoiled and bitter, and yeah, i am. more bitter than spoiled, at least, but it just bothers me that people (mainly americans) are so damn unaware of other people and of the things, the gifts and rights and abilities they have. they abuse it because it's their "right."

bull shit.

man.

i've just been angry lately, eh?

i'll toss out a happy entry soon.
