I wish this wasn't
true, really I do.
I went to the movies with a friend to see "
Scary Movie" (which sucked royally) on
Saturday night, and we decided to get something to eat before the show. So, we're in line for the
concession stand, and a
teenage couple is right in front of us. The boy orders, and then the
girl walks up to the counter. She asks if what's in the display booths is all that they have. The guy working the booth gives her an odd look and says yes. She asks if they have anything
healthy. The guy starts to get aggravated and says that all they really have is
popcorn and
candy. She says "Oh" and then pauses for a minute.
What she said next: "Are you
sure, like, you don't have anything healthy? Maybe, like, some
celery or something?" Her
boyfriend bursts out laughing at this point, and the server goes completely
bug-eyed and says, "No, ma'am, WE DO NOT HAVE CELERY AT THIS
MOVIE THEATER."
...and the girl had the
gall to walk off with an
indignant look on her face.
The best part: I saw her again in the theater when we went inside a few minutes later, and when I saw who she was sitting with I realized that I knew who she was...she was a few years younger than me and had just graduated from
my high school.
