My mom and I tied a couple of days on to our trip to LA to spend some time with our good friend Maureen Hollingsworth. She hosted this big cocktail party for us on Monday night and I got to see a lot of the ladies that I knew when I was in elementary and middle school (Including Debbie Giss, Susie Talt, and Denise Botsford! Gotta love the days of carpool!)
Anyways, the day after, we decided we would see a late afternoon movie. So we checked the movie times on Mo's blackberry, and decided to see a 5:30 showing of Four Christmasses. We did a bit of shopping beforehand (during which I found an AMAZING silk yellow dress at BCBG, but was politely informed that I had no job and no money and that I was not allowed to buy it. I'm telling you this thing was a piece of artwork!!! It would have been an artistic investment, really!)
Whoa. Tangent much? So we get to the theatre, buy the tickets, and then head to the concession stand for popcorn, cokes and sour patch kids (duh!). Mo promptly spends sixteen dollars on one large popcorn, one medium popcorn, one small coke, one large diet coke, and one pack of SPKs. We then head to the theatre, only to learn that our movie was already over and had actually started at 4:20.
So. Not only were the movie times innaccurate, they actually sold us tickets for a movie that was already over!!!!
Mo and my mom jumped into pissed-off-were-not-gonna-take-this mode. They got refunds for the tickets, and refunds for the popcorn and sodas! Literally? They stood at the counter eating their popcorn, and telling the guy they wanted refunds. I tell ya, these women were professionals!
After all that we ended up going back to Mo's, eating leftovers, and going to bed at 9:30.
I'm thinking I need to start hanging out more with kids my own age.
