geez kat, what's wrong with my thread now

starmap3333 · August 2009

not quite sure why my booted thread was locked.

A satellite forever orbiting · August 2009

damn, bro. just leave well enough alone and move on. you dont even know if it was kat that removed your thread. there are other moderators.

LiteTheMatch · August 2009

maybe because it includes many of the Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television?

Beats me, but this is classic:

"not doing a single fucking thing wrong.... sitting in a seat that wasn't right fully mine"

From ny eh? Makes sense.

i'm guessing it was because you called someone an idiot.
everyone take a deep breath... this board is intense lately.. :(

starmap3333 · August 2009

oh... yeah i guess. sorry, i'm a little annoyed about the whole thing. i'm sure you would be as well.

JonnyPistachio · August 2009

Yeah, man you definitely didnt deserve to get kicked out. i didnt read all of your post, but did you ask to talk to that guys superior or ask why you werent warned first. it sounds crazy that they would go that far without a warning.

Moral of the story, you paid for a ticket that has all sorts of numbers on it. Find the right spot for those numbers and sit there. If this were a Pittsburgh Pirates game (or late innings of a Cub game) where no one is clearly not going to be there...whatever. However, this is a sold out concert...find your seat and stay there.

i have never been kicked out of an arena anywhere in north america even when i was in a seat that wasnt mine. you were probably rude and did it to yourself. you just have to know how to talk to people.

Y was that thread locked, maybe the curse words, but I don't think they were over the top or ripping anybody except overly anxious power mad security. At PJ shows I usually make sure I sit in my assigned seat bc I'm scared of getting kicked out, but have moved around at other band's shows accidentally. Next time consider that you may be in the wrong seat bc you don't know where you are. Never admit that you know you're in the wrong seat as tickets and seats are sometimes hard to read in concert lighting, and once you're asked to move just go back to your seat by having them show you where to sit if they have the time. I've accidentally sat in the first row of a concert by accident, but then security helped me find my seat in the last row. But it sounds like you cooperated with security which is the most important part. It's all about fun and safety!

I went to respond to your other thread, but it was locked by the time I tried to respond.

If I had to guess what happened to you there, I'd say that you were in the Blackhawk's players seats-- Maybe he bought 5 or 6 seats so he'd have a little room watching the show, and didn't want anyone around him, particularly obsessive Chicago hockey fans?

It sucks man. Sorry to hear this happened to you.

starmap3333 · August 2009

nah,. i didn;t say or do anything. i was asked for my ticket and i gave it to the usher. we walked to a room. they said i was leaving. i said i didn;t receive a warning. they didn;t say anything. that's when i said i'm not on drugs and flew here, etc. so, hate to tell ya, i didn;t do anything other than stand there. no one was in this block of 5 or more seats. i moved when asked from the other guys seat. that's it. but you're right, maybe this hockey player bought the row or was comped or something... makes sense. maybe he could have told me that instead of just being a jerk about it.

here's some more food for thought: not every time something unfortunate happens to someone in this world do they always deserve it.

and to anyone who actually understands what i am saying, thanks for the kindness. to the rest of you... well... enjoy the show tonite. xoxoxoxox.

lol

it just doesn't add up.

starmap3333 · August 2009

exactly, it doesn;t add up other than maybe this guy has a bunch of seats because he plays hockey there. that would make sense to me. again, he could have said "i own this row". i assumed by moving out of his seat i did what he asked.

True. You should have just been escorted to your proper seat. However, you have to admit that you too were in the wrong for being in the wrong seat.

Here's more food for thought: drop the NYC attitude and lie. You acted unrepentant and like they were the burden on you, when really you were a pain in their ass because they deal with people that think the rules dont apply to them all night. I doubt they enjoy doing that, but when you start acting like they're jerks for doing their job, then you're going to get tossed. Next time, lie. Say you got turned around and you're sorry, and ask for help getting to your seats. If you know life is unfair, why would you have expected them to just be cool with you sitting in someone else's seat?

well, there are productive ways of doing things. if that happened to me, the way you said it went down, i would email every chicago news agency, writer, etc.. until someone responded.

starmap3333 · August 2009

I'm not from new york city. it's funny that everytime someone is from ny, people from the other 49 states assume they are from the city. i live in central ny, we don;t even lock our doors here.

repentant? lol. i'll go get my rosary. when you're not in your seat you should asked to move by the usher to your proper seat location, period.

This is your best bet always. Get there early, and stake your claim to what's actually yours and no one can question you. I was a little late getting into MSG in '08, and sat in the wrong seats completely on accident. A few minutes later the actual seatholders showed up, and I thought, eh, no big deal-- I'll just find my right seats, although it's much tougher in the dark... Unfortunately, I was in the middle of a row, and people were less than understanding when I moved passed them. I finally find my seats (which were close), and there's two people in them, and had to argue with them over the blaring loud greatness of Pearl Jam that those were not their seats-- they were cool they just couldn't hear me. In the end, we kind of all squeezed in together, as I wasn't going to rat them out. There are no empty seats at any of the PJ concerts I've been to. If there's an empty seat, you can believe it belongs to someone, but they're probably just not present of yet.

well, sir, i was raised to be honest and that honesty is the best policy. sorry i'm not a liar. it's not me.

A distinct possibility. But stereotypes come from somewhere, and since I've listened to plenty of NY-ers look like they're afraid I'm going to start throwing cow shit in their food when I say I'm from Ohio before ridiculing the flyover state, then they can take a few knocks for their world-renowned arrogance as well. You come from a place with a reputation, you can't get your panties in a twist when people poke fun at it.

just be glad you're not from Boston, then you'd really see something

VINNY GOOMBA · August 2009

All this food for thought, and none for the poor. What the hell is wrong with this country?

and even if you were from NYC....doesn't mean you have some "NY attitude".........or that b/c you are from NY, you act a certain, obviously negative, way. sorry....i just hate comments like that, especially about my beloved NY. and yes, i am a NYer and damn happy to be, guess that's just my "NY attitude" showing....;)

btw - it's shitty what went down. i've moved my seats down closer a few rows only a year or so ago...but after the show was WELL under way, empty seats....or towards the end of a show when some people amazingly leave early. i haven't done anything truly brazen with my seating arrangements since my late teens, early 20s....but i do agree, getting thrown out for it is harsh. go back to your own seat and that's that.

conor...i don't think mr. lawyer wants to start the stereotype game.

point is.....it's just uncalled for imo. and you bet...don't fuck with my NY.

Then consider this a learning experience... it's not the best policy most of the time

I'm just saying, if I'm an usher and I come up to some guy and am like "this is not your seat" and he responds with "yeah, i know that, so what?" I'm not going to appreciate the guy's honesty, I'm going to think "This guy wants to start something and I don't get paid enough to take shit from little punks that think the rules don't apply to them. This guy's outta here." Maybe if you'd been raised to apologize when you know you're in the wrong, you'd have gotten to stay

Wouldn't take much more than an "yeah, I'm sorry, I wandered up here and figured there'd be no harm in staying, I'll go back now" and he'd probably let you go.

Absolutely. I didn't vote for him, but I'm not going to throw a fit about somebody giving be a hard time over it... because there ARE a lot of inbred hillbilly rednecks here, some in my family! There's truth in the statement, even if it doesn't apply to me.

Why wouldn't I want to start the stereotype game? Most of the stereotypes about lawyers are based on... you guessed it... truth! They exist for a reason and I'm not going to get all weepy because some might not actually apply to me.

Especially about beloved NY eh? So other stereotypes don't merit equal scrutiny, only when it's being applied to something you have sentimental attachment to? Come on, NY'ers have a rep, as do us blood sucking lawyers, as do my inbred redneck Ohio brethren. Doesn't mean I'm ashamed to be a lawyer or from Ohio to acknowledge the faults some of my comrades have that created this image.

Damn, for such a rude, arrogant bunch, you NY'ers are pretty damn sensitive

Anyway, spot on with seat moving etiquette... at concerts or sporting events, you don't move into those seats at the beginning becos you're just a pain in everyone's ass. Now as the event wears on past the halfway point, get what you can!

geez kat, what's wrong with my thread now
