You've picked your seat, now sit in it
So, on Monday I went to see Toy Story 3 in 3D with Paula and Donna. I booked the tickets online, not knowing how busy it would be, but also so we could get decent seats. While nothing new at a lot of cinemas, Vue in Inverness has only just started the system of picking where you want to sit when you buy your tickets, instead of the free-for-all when you get to the actual screen.
While booking online I'd picked L13-15. Up the steps to the midway point and on your right. Awesome.
We picked up the tickets, got drinks, snacks and picked up our 3D glasses and headed to Screen 1. When we got in, it was already pretty busy. We headed up to L and... There were people in our seats. We checked the tickets. We checked the screen number on the tickets. Making sure we were in the right one. Once that was confirmed, I spoke to the people in the seats.
"uh, these are our seats..?"
Not gonna lie, I expected them to be apologetic and get up and move. An honest mistake an' all that. However, in return, I got a look of disgust and was told
"Well, someone's sat in our seats -- No-one pays attention to it."
A couple rows down, there were seats available (though, for all we knew, they could be meant for someone else) instead of causing a scene and pressuring the people to move, we went and sat down. Hoping that no-one else had booked those seats -- If they had, they didn't come and bother us to move.
Seriously though, what's the point in actually picking out where you want to sit (the seats aren't randomly assigned to anyone, you have to tell the person you buy your tickets from which seat you want) if you're not going to pay any attention to it when you get into the actual cinema?
What cunts.
An American & A German
On Thursday, Paula, Allan, Donna and me went into town and got some lunch before meeting Kara at the bus station. She was hungry, so we then went to Scribbles so she could get some food and then to the pub at night.
Friday, we all (minus Allan) went to Cullen, had some ice cream and then later, with Allan, we went Bowling, followed by another night in the pub.
Saturday, after a pretty late night, we were up again early, to meet Amelie from the train station, after which we went to the pancake place and then to the pub. Where we met Jon. We had planned to go camping at the Cove, but eventually that planned was changed to a visit to Roseisle. Which I'm thankful for. Followed by a night in the pub (sensing a theme?).
Sunday, up again early, to put Amelie back on the train. Which, it turned out, was actually an hour after she thought it was. So, we went to ASDA cafe for breakfast/lunch.
