I seriously felt like killing the senior citizen that was yakking her mouth off at the ticket line at the cinema this afternoon. I did not hear what she was yakking about but the lady at the ticket booth got fed up and answered back saying, "Don't get mad at me. I'm also getting confused here. There's so many of you and all of you want to be attended to immediately."
I wasn't going to say anything but I was just too mad and annoyed. First there were these two old biddies to the back of me, pushing me. Like their pushing me would get them to the start of the line faster. I swear to god it felt like they were humping me from behind. And then I see a bunch of old people forming another line parallel to my line and I'm like, "What the hell do you think you're doing?! There's only ONE line!" I saw some more old people talking to these idiot girls from the Citibank booth and I gathered they were asking where they could line up. The idiot girls from Citibank told them to line up in the newly-made up line. I started seething. I kept telling my sister what a bunch of idiots these people were. I called them bobo* over and over. When it was my turn to get my tickets, the exchange between the girl in the ticket booth and the old woman from the other line happened. The old woman kept yapping away even after the woman at the booth told her to stay cool. I couldn't help it, I had to say something! I had to let the anger out, so I said, "Look, there's only one line and it's this line. They did not tell you to form that line so you should not have been lining up there anyway." And she still kept yapping. So I ended up saying, "Well, YOU'RE A BUNCH OF IDIOTS!"
And while I was picking out seats, the two old biddies to my back were leaning on my back, looking over my shoulder into the monitor. And I'm like WHAT THE FUDGE?!?! Could they not wait for their turn? One of them even held out her senior citizen card and pushed it on the desk. For pakshets* sake woman, wait for your fucking turn! If I had not contained myself, I swear I would've rammed my elbow to their dumpy boobies. Gawd! I swear to god most Filipinos are a bunch of insensitive, rude, want-to-get-their-own-way lot.
I was still seething after that. I kept mumbling how bobo those people were. Over and over. They're lucky I'm not the president of this country because if I were I WOULD HAVE HAD THEM CARTED OFF AND EXECUTED!
*Bobo is Filipino for stupid, idiot.
*Pakshet is a Filipino play on a popular English curse word.

kakagigil naman yan! >_<
Man, I hope I don't become like that when I'm an old bag of bones. But I think when you get that old, you feel entitled to everthing and are always in a hurry because well...you don't have much time left do you, haha. :P
We all were in the express lane. The photo I showed you in Plurk showed the 'normal' lane. The express lane is for the senior citizens and Ayala Mall card holders. I was an A-Mall card holder obviously. I was so annoyed with them because everyone else lined up and were getting pissed at the long wait. They haven't even been waiting that long and they're complaining? They want to be attended to first? There's no freaking way I'd have allowed it without screaming like a banshee. I stood in line for more than an hour! I don't give a fuck if they're senior citizens. They should damn well line up. I mean if they couldn't line up then they wouldn't be at the mall anyway. They would be with someone who could do the lining up for them.
And what is up with the pushing?! I hate it when other people are just so rude in lines. So rude that if they could take away air space they probably would. I was squished against the booth!
Anyway, my mom said the same thing, Sun, that old people feel like they're entitled to everything. Well, even if that were the case, I'M SORRY. I DO NOT GIVE A RAT'S ASS! You can wait till you die where you are.
LOL
Obviously I'm still annoyed. I'm talking to myself even now, playing out what I would have liked to say.
I think 'Wall of Wonder' does not accurately reflect your blog. It should be 'Wailing Wall' (no offense intended for Jewish people, etc.). :)
Ohh, I hate it when old people think they can do anything they want just because they're old. Once when I was on the tram coming home from work this old lady went up to a girl who was sitting on the seat nearest to the door and said "you are going to stand up and let me sit down aren't you?" (the tram was compltetley full). The girl just looked at her in complete disbelief and stood up saying "I was getting off at the next stop anyway". I was just standing there thinking how RUDE! I don't care how old that woman was, she could still have waited to be offered a seat!
haha. I think we have the same patience level. Although I really have to work on it. But I remember watching Harry Potter and some guy behind me put his foot up on my seat. I turned around and gave him a look and he said sorry! Then a few minutes later he puts his foot up on the seat next to me. I'm sorry but I didn't pay $13 to smell some idiot's foot for 2.5 hours. So I turned around and said in front of him and his date "Can you please put your foot down, it really stinks!" And he called me some name... Anyways, isn't that common sense? I don't get why he even though that was appropriate.
I'm wondering what that "deleted" comment was above.
@bevchen: That *is* rude. I would have hated that, too. I normally offer my seat to old people, especially ones that look like they need it. But that old lady that you spoke of was definitely rude! You'd think that these old people would've learned some manners in all the time that they've been here on earth!
@Elle: What that guy did would have irritated the shit out of me, too! I know right, you'd think it was common sense that people shouldn't do stuff like that. I mean, really, *you would think*. But apparently common sense isn't all that common at all. It makes me want to bring a hammer so I could bash people's heads in when they act all stupid.
The deleted comment was a response to mee. I just said, "you know, mee, I did say that this blog's URL is so not right for me. i mean, i'm hardly one to wonder or think of positive things. and wailing wall is right!" I forget now why I deleted my comment.
