Re: Sick people in public!

[Guest guest]

I know exactly how you feel--similar thing happened to us a few weeks ago.

This time of year (flu season, etc.) we go to an early show but wait until

the movie we want to see is a week or two " old. " You could ask your theatre

manager what times are the slowest.

Sometimes we just go and hope for the best. I hope you have a happy holiday.

I am so sorry that you have had that experience but hopefully you won't be so

close to that kind of person again. I do understand your feelings on this matter

as it would make me a little upset as well only my dh wouldn't change places. I

have a friend that has sent her daughter to preschool with a temp and I am just

cringing because I know there are most likely some in that class that catch

everything. I might have a chance to speak to her this weekend as I will be

staying at her house for a few days.

least every 30 seconds (yes, I really did count) throughout the entire

movie. I had my husband switch places to block the germs but it ruined

the movie for me AND made me furious that people who are sick go out in

public. I could see if this was a life-and-death matter ... but an

afternoon movie, for heaven's sake. The kid clearly should have been

home. I wish I'd had a surgical mask in my purse that I could offer him!

If the theater wasn't full, I would have moved.

How do you guys handle these situations? I feel like I didn't even want

to talk to the parents, who were idiotic enough to take their kid out in

public. (And it was two parents and one child, so it wasn't like there

were five other siblings dying to see the show).

Okay ... enough ranting ... because I really could go on and on about

this. Thanks for reading!

That's what we do -- we went to a 2:00 PM show of " The Nativity " that's

been out for a couple of weeks. They'd relegated it to the smallest

theater, which is why it was so full, plus I think a lot of people

waited until close to Christmas like we did. I agree it's just the

" luck " of the draw sometimes! Happy holidays to you as well. -- Sue

I totally agree with you, and I would have moved my son too. In fact, I have

moved him, and, if anyone said anything, I would simply explain. Otherwise, I

don't worry about it - it's about my son's health, not to mention my own!

Merry Christmas
