people are not like fine wine...
they dont get better with age.
tarah and i went to go see michael bourne's 'swan lake' tonight, but unfortunately they were having trouble with the set and had to cancel the performance. we got in line downstairs at the box office to get our tickets transferred to another night, as did a lot of people and the line extended out of the theatre and onto the sidewalk. tarah and i were standing just inside the theatre and i see two older women come in a door to the side and try to squeeze past the people in line (ala people driving on the shoulder to get past the traffic that theyre causing by trying to get back in line later). i got one of the women's attention, and this is what happened:
me: excuse me ma'am, the line is over here.
her: oh, well why is the door open then?
me: i dont know but we're all waiting in line, the end of it's out on the sidewalk.
her: oh ok dont worry we'll get in line behind you. i mean why isnt everyone crowding into the vestibule since the door is open?
me: well everyone else is waiting in line, shouldnt you go to the end of the line instead of jumping in front of those people?
her: no (indignantly), we'll just get in behind you.
.... oh, well as long as youre being mature about it... c'mon nanna, be an adult and be polite like every one else...
