A couple sat near me in the cinema tonight were both on Facebook for most of the evening, and left at the closing credits muttering ‘that was fucking shite’.

Why didn’t they just leave? I couldn’t sit through something that was clearly boring me to death.

Eat Pray Love, no drama but my mate and I decided drinks would be more fun.

Verbena87 · 21/10/2018 22:02

I wasn’t going to but my date said “you’re being rude too loudly, and it is shit. Let’s go.” and we walked out and went and drank delicious gin instead.

When you find the person that believes shared time is too valuable to waste, and opens your eyes to the fact that if you’re having a crap time you could stop moaning and start walking away to find something joyous, marry them!

MrsJayy · 21/10/2018 22:03
