Where the wild things are in East Hampton

Friday, July 9th, 2010

My husband, daughter and I had just finished seeing a movie in East Hampton over July 4th weekend.  We crossed the street and were trying to head back to the parking lot through the pass-through by Starbucks.

Two couples with a gaggle of children all named Aidan, Brayden, and Jayden were standing around chit-chatting while the kids ran around like maniacs pushing and hitting each other.  There were about a dozen other people trying to get through the pass through (as the movie just let out) and they just kept on talking, not moving, letting their kids run wild.

As I’m trying to dodge the flying child fists (and avoid them hitting my 3 year old), I finally said, “EXCUSE ME, PLEASE!” and they just looked shocked, and still didn’t move.

All of us had to snake our way dodging and weaving through this rude brood.

So annoying!

A night at the movies

Friday, August 11th, 2006

My fiancé and I went to the movies last night in East Hampton and we had three rude encounters.

1)      Standing in line – We purchased our tickets online and while waiting to pick them up the man behind me kept chest butting me. One push knocked jutted us forward almost into the next person. Then when I finally got my tickets, this VIP decided to push me to the side to get to the counter.

2)      Getting some soda, popcorn, and nachos – My fiancé went into the theater to get our seats, I waited in line behind a lady who then proceed to have 7 other youngsters draft on her order. Which is fine, but one girl waiting behind me in line, she was about 8, I encouraged her to join her friends but she didn’t want to cut. I insisted. What happened next? A woman, then proceeded to ask if she could cut the line. Nice.

3)      Pop-corn thief – We started watching the movie, at one point I put the bag of popcorn down on the seat next to me. Later on I reached for the bag of popcorn and it was gone. I looked back and the man behind us was eat our popcorn. Not wanting to make a scene I held my tongue. It was just like the Seinfeld episode with the guy stealing the raisins.

Sincerely,

Bruised, hassled, and hungry
