Have you ever been to a movie theater? Duh who hasn’t, right? Well, have you ever worked at one? Probably not. A month ago I was just like you — seeing every movie and, of course, not working at a movie theater. Though after what seems like almost a year, but has only been a month, of working at a movie theater, I have realized not only how crazy people can be but also how rude they are. Listed below are some prime examples of the people we live among for you to rate on the scale of crazy to rude.

1. Concession Stand


1: A customer purchases a refillable tub that he/she then pours into a tote bag they brought from home.
2: “Your prices are so high. Can I get a discount?”

3: A customer walks in with a thing of cheese that looks like it’s been sitting out for days and an uncrumpled popcorn bag. He/She asks “I just dropped my food; can I get some more?”
4: “Can I have a small popcorn but can you only fill it 3/4ths of the way? But once you get to half way out butter in it.”
5: “The volume in the theatre is too loud.”
6: “I decided I don’t want this cup anymore; can I get a refund?”
7: “I don’t feel comfortable watching my movie with a box of toilet paper outside the theater.”

2. Usher

1: Do people ever eat their popcorn because I’ve cleaned up more popcorn than we make.

2: If you’re going to bring your own food in then throw it away instead of leaving it under your chair.

3: If you’re going to have a food fight during your movie please don’t come again.

4: Why get drunk in a movie theater and not throw away the evidence?

5: I clean up way too much popcorn, but that comes nowhere close to how many unused napkins I’ve cleaned up.

6: If the movie is over then leave. At 11pm I do not want to wait on one person to leave the theater just so he can sit through 15 minutes of credits.

3. Guest Services

1: “I didn’t like the movie. I’ll like my money back.”

2: “Is this not AMC North Point?”

3: “Can I get one ticket for Logan at 5:15?” No this is not the box office.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
