Last night I went to the movie Hancock. It was a good movie, I enjoyed it. I was pleasantly surprised, it wasn't the movie that I expected, and that always makes me happy. I like strange plot twist in an otherwise predictable movie.
During the movie, I recieved a couple of text messages at the same time. My buddy Phil sent me a text asking me what I was doing and so did my daughter. I didn't even think about it, and started to reply to the text messages.
I guess I was taking a little too long, because some dude behind me asked me to put my phone away. I said "no." He then said that if I didn't put it away, he would go and get them to kick me out of the theater. I then replied, "thank you for being so nice" and stopped my texting. I went out a few minutes later to the aisle, where I could still see the movie, and finished my texting.
Admittedly, texting during in a movie is probably a little annoying to other people. I am not saying that it isn't. I am just wondering if the dude really needed to ask me to stop. Did he really think that I was going to text all movie or something? How long does it take the average person to send text messages? I think that dude just needed to relax a little bit.
If the dude ever reads this, I am sorry to shine a small little light the the row in front of him for a few minutes. I am also disappointed in his humanity for not having a little patience and suffering for the few minutes while I send a text message.
I will probably try not to send a text message again sitting in the theater. I will also never ask anyone to stop sending text messages in a theater....

U would've tell the g@y guy behind you that you were a network d0ct0r, and some patient had some complications with his firewall muscles and would take just a sec.
Z@m0ht ;)
That would have been funny. I thought of a lot of good things to say after the fact, but that is how it always is I guess.
