Damn it Diane!

For the first time in months I got off of work in time to catch a flick. Even better, my sister promised me a movie ticket in return for me lying to my mom for her. No good deed goes unpunished, though. Let this tale be a reminder. 

I was flourished to finally see Fury, with the beautiful Shia LaBeouf. In preparation for our outing my sister and I started singing on our way there the ever so lovely tune “I don’t f*$k with Chu.” It’s hysterical, because it’s literally just us taking turns singing connecting words. We also don’t get out much so we forget how to behave in public. As my sister did when she so graciously continued singing the song. Two teenie boppers turn our way thinking that we were talking to them. They turn around give us their teenie bopper dirty look, and my sister cowards quickly to the outside ticket stand - realizing that she in fact had been heard.

I jokingly tell her we should try the “life hack” she picked up from an article she had read. What’s this “life hack” you ask? Well, I’ll tell you: it’s purchasing a movie ticket at the kiosks for regular price and then the other person gets the senior ticket. 

She’s convinced this “plan” is flawless. It was not. We get to the ticket ripper and wouldn’t you know, regardless of her putting the more expensive ticket on top, the lady still checked both. 

Movie ticket lady: “You know this ticket is a senior discount one?”

Naela: “Oh, no. I just got these outside because there was nobody at the ticket stand. I’ve never used the ones outside…sooo.”

Movie ticket lady: “Yeah, you’ll need to get a regular priced ticket.”

Naela: “Umm, how do i do that?”

Movie ticket lady: “You just go to the lady there ringing people up, and she’ll charge you the difference.” 

Was my sister slick, no. This could’ve been done more smoothly if there was a group of people in my opinion. Don’t think she’s discourage, though. Oh, no. She’s still going to try the “life hack” of movie hopping. I kind of want to be around when she does and see if she gets good at these things. I also don’t mind seeing it fail. 

This, world is the face of a “life hacker.”
