Bug

Okay, well, this has been bugging me for a week now and while this may be seen by some as petty (Me? Never? You are. No, you are) I believe you have to correct the small things before you launch into tackling the big, earth-changing things. I was at the movies last week and there was this middle-aged couple who walked in and sat down. Fine. Then five seconds later, they got up and moved somewhere else. Okay. Then the husband decided that it was really over there that he wanted to sit. The wife was having nothing to do with it so the husband took matters into his own hand and took off on his solo trek. Slightly annoying. Wife decided that as wife one of her rights is to have someone to sit with during movies. Much huffing and puffing and she moves and sits herself next to him. Did I mention that prior to movies they had made several purchases from shops that wrap their goods in loud crunchy paper that have to be handled and placed in various positions every time these idiots decided to move. Husband at this point is feeling pretty good about himself and is crunching away in his 'perfect' seat. Wife is pissed off but is happy to be just sitting somewhere for more than five seconds. Is that the end? No, of course not. Husband who has a terminal case of grass is always greener somewhere else disease inhales loudly, shakes his head and says at the top of his voice "Nup". So of course he has to move again. Wife is ready to sign the divorce papers there and then and starts doing the angry loud whisper. And do you know where he moved them to? Of course. The first place they sat down. It's moments like these that make me understand how the world got so fucked up.
