I hate the fact that I've never had allergies in my life until I moved to NM and now I get horrible allergies. Also, I had all kinds of pets growing up, but as of about a year and a half ago, I'm really allergic to pet dander. WTF?

Better than not having to be at work at all with your savings rapidly dwindling and not a job offer in sight.

I use that rationale to get by every day while meandering in a dead end job. It's either this or homeless though.

Also , yeah that sucks CC , I'm not a morning person. I work the late shifts during the week so it alters my sleep pattern drastically every weekend.

I hatethe absurd, ridiculous, prices at the concession stands at the movie theaters. I spent $11.00 on just a small popcorn & a soda! I mean WTF??? I could've gotten a value meal at any fastfood place.

 

[Scarecrow_King]

That's why you sneak your own food in. duh.

Not when you're pressed for time.

Then you don't buy anything.

**** the theaters!

 

[Mace Bloodstone]

Eat before you go. The popcorn is usually blah anyway.

**** the theaters!

Unfortunately, I didn't want to "disappoint" a certain lady friend.

 

[Superman 1265]

I hate store-bought fried chicken. That **** is too rough and dried out to eat.

Did you cut a hole in the bottom of the popcorn...?

 

[Darkness Falls]

i hate moochers

I'll never tell.

Yeah , that stuff is gross *shudders*

Someone got their $11 worth.

 

[SuperFerret]

$11 dollars is too much to pay for a burned, oily penis.

I hate how me and my friend waited on a line for almost 3 hours to see the Avenger panels, only to be told at the end that we won't get into the theatre because there were people in there since this morning who refused to give up their seats. It's just not fair for paying customers who want to enjoy the entire convention but can't because they have to spend the entire day waiting for nothing, and its not fair for the panelist who want to present something to their fans, but end up getting a room full of people who can't wait for them to finish so they can see something else.

I hate that my ex-fiancée has managed to yet again become my fiancée in the same day she became my ex-fiancée. I'm a pushover.

That happened to me at SDCC waiting for the Iron Man 2 panel. Got to stay out in the sun for 3 or 4 hours, and ended up being about 50 people away from getting inside.

Yeah, I'll be dead before the honeymoon, but, thanks!

I really think they need to fix it because they suddenly turned it into a first come first served type of thing where they moved the line to another part of the building that I couldn't even find.

I'm not really mad that I couldn't get into to see it, because had I not gone with my friend who was dying to go, I wouldn't have even tried. But the fact that I feel like I wasted so much time getting tired with back pains on a line
for 3 hours and have it be all for nothing, that really upsets me more. I lost so many good hours of taking pictures for that.

 

[wiegeabo]

That's why I didn't even try to get to see the big stuff at SDCC the next year. I knew I'd have to either stay in the hall all day and watch stuff I didn't care about, or risk missing it standing in a long line again. So I just went around to all my second choices and had no problem getting into any of them.

I honestly don't know what is a fair way to handle it though. They paid for their tickets to and have just as much right to see the panels, or sit through all the panels in one place if they wanted to (some friends and I did that because there were about five or six panels in a row we wanted to see).

 

[SpideyVille]

Yeah, some guy in the line was telling us how there was supposed to be an signing with Chris Evans before the panel, but apparently no one from the information desk knew about it until he spoke to someone from Marvel who said to go to the signing, you needed a ticket that was given away early in the morning. But by then it was pointless.

I think something like that could work, but then again plenty of people might get a ticket for one panel and either not show up, screwing someone else out of a seat, or they would try to stay for all of them. There really is no great solution other than moving to a bigger location, which seems to be easier said than done.

But if I knew that we could've stood in the theatre, I would've at least told my friend to do that because he came just for that. I personally don't care much for panels and went more to see the cosplay. He also blames me partially for wasting some time playing the Uncharted 3 multiplayer with the editors from IGN.

 

[wiegeabo]

I'd be surprised if they let you stand in the theater. The Fire Marshal wouldn't all it.

About all they can do is have a designated starting point for a line to every room, and disperse the line once the room is filled up. That really won't stop the lurkers who will stay 'near' the line just in case. But they did that one Friday when people were staying in the room all day and not leaving. Every time a line tried to form, they sent everyone away.


There are some other things they could do with reservations, but the Cons aren't very organized (even though they really should be) and don't seem to have the inclination to start getting organized.
