To the mean man at the movie today

So I just got back from watching Shutter Island at the movie theater. I must tell you that it is a VERY good movie, and I do recommend it. But my movie going experience was tainted by a meanie of a man. Yes I said meanie of a man. During the previews the song "Mad World" played. This song is originally done by Tears for Fears but then covered by Gary Jules for the movie Donnie Darko. Now I just couldn't think of the movie that it was in (Donnie Darko if you follow). So I sent a text message to ask. While I was awaiting the response, I remembered and sent a follow up text expressing that. Whilst in the middle of my text, the man behind me leans forward and says in a rude tone, "MA'AM TURN OFF YOUR CELL PHONE. I PAID TO SEE A MOVIE NOT THE SCREEN OF YOUR CELL PHONE," to which I responded, "Sir, give me a minute and I will." The opening credits had just started and I was just sending the text to communicate I had answered my own question. It was really quite innocent. So here is my letter to the meanie of a man saying what I wish I would have said,

Dear Meanie of a Man,

You are not nice. I was just sending a text and then I would have been done. You are a big doo doo head and I don't like you. I hope you trip and tear a nice piece of clothing on your way out and you feel really upset about it. And I hope you lose a button too! Also, I think you need to look within yourself and think about who you are, Mr. Grumpkis. I am a nice lady and you are not. Also you kicked my chair twice. And I didn't pay for that. Where's my refund?! I'll accept sunshine, butterflies and smiles. I don't think you can afford that though, so I'll accept credit card or cash in their place.

Suck it.

m.dek (that's my rap name)

peace.

here's hoping that karma exists.
