So we’re at the drive in. Again. This pretty much happens every weekend so you’re just gonna have to get used to it.
Anyhow, there was much dramaz tonight. And we seriously JUST got parked. See, we’ve been coming here for a while and we know the drill. The line starts at the gate before it opens and goes out into the street and around the corner, moving northbound up El Rancho. We come from the north so it’s no trouble to just hop in line as we get here.
But there have been a few times we’ve stopped in at 7-11 to get drinks. When we do that, we know enough to get back on El Rancho and go find the end of the line.
Tonight the line was massive. Both Terminator and Night at the Museum are both new this week, plus it’s a holiday. The line was pretty long before we got here and the gate hadn’t even opened yet.
Once things started moving, we saw people cutting in line. These wereiften people coming from the south and turning left at the light, expecting to hop in line. The car in front of us was filled with kinder souls than us, because they let in not one but TWO cars.
Then? Someone tried to cut in front of us.
Oh HECK no!
We got on the bumper of the car ahead of us and refused to let him in. Yes, even when he HONKED at us. So he tried with the car behind us. No dice. The car behind that one also shut him down. So he sort of idled beside us until we got to the gate.
Now, standard protocal has you stop and talk to the employee with the clipboard and he then tells you which line to get into depending on what movie you’re seeing. We did this and then pulled forward to get in line for our respective ticket booth.
So what did Cutter do? He zoomed up as we pulled in and got in one of the lines. Clipboard Guy calmly walked to his window and basically told him he had to go get in line.
Su-weet!!
Funny thing is, we saw another car try to do the same thing before we got out of view of the gate.
Crazy sauce, I tell you! Some people, I swear.
So now if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go watch a movie.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Dontcha just love it when people like that get what they deserve? Here in Ohio, where we have two seasons (winter and construction), we deal with that kind of crap all the time. Someone is always waiting until the Last! Possible! Second! to merge, when they’ve passed signs telling them to do so for three miles.
But the line jumpers at events (like yours) really fry me. What makes them think they’re special snowflakes who deserve to get to the head of the line? My favorite experience was at a concert. It was one of those outdoor amphitheaters, usually in a nice wooded area in the middle of nowhere? We were in stop and go traffic, trying to get to the parking lot, when some jerk in a Jeep decides he’s going to go around EVERYONE by driving in the grass along side of the road. So, it was with great joy that we encountered him a mile or so later, stuck on the side of the road with a sign post smack dab in front of him, a gaping ravine to the right and a big long line of cars, honking and laughing at him on the left.
Valeries last blog post..Uh… er… oops?
Some people are crazy! They just think they can get away with anything. But back to the bigger issue…you have a drive thru! That’s awesome. I haven’t been to one of those since I was 10! Lucky.
