Personal Space

Tell me why this happens, ‘Cause I would love to know – I go to see a movie At an early morning show. The theater’s mostly empty So I choose and seat, but whoa! Soon a couple plops their bodies Right beside me in my row! They leave just one seat between us But annoyance starts to grow For there’s seating in the hundreds And this move seems kind of low. Guess my angry vibe is blatant. They move one seat over, though I will never understand this; But that’s just the way things go.

You emulate such light, you're like a moth to a flame. :)

I would guess you took their favourite spot. I LOVE going in the afternoon and having the theater all to myself. It makes me feel like Michael Jackson.

Ilene, I actually get up and move somewhere else if this happens. If there are LOTS of seats in the theater. I like a LOT of personal space. Good one. hate when someone with a big tall head sits in front of me

It's really bad when they try to eat your popcorn. :) Nicely done Ilene.
