The Twilight Zone

Yesterday evening James and I went on a family outing to the cinema to see Miss Potter (very bizarre I know!).

Amy was nearly half an hour late and so we arrived at the cinema with a second to spare before the trailers ended and the film began. As we stood in the queue the girl at the desk began ripping lengths of paper out of her desk. She picked up a telephone and dialed a number..

The phone at the empty desk next to her began to ring.

Eventually a rather lanky young man arrived to her aid and stood pointing at things whilst she continued to pull all of the paper roll from her printer. I supressed the urge to shout "just open the other bloody desk"

Finally the girl sorted it out and we purchased our tickets.

As we walked into the screen we were about 10 minutes into the film.

As the film drew to an end and James and I sensed that the credits were about to roll, we started to prepare to leave.

Credits are now at "Cheif Auditor" and "Legal Advisers" and nobody has left the cinema.

We sit stunned, not knowing what to do in this scenario we sit and try to find the most amusing name on the credits.

The images at the side of the credits have now gone and still nobody moves!

James tells me that he is quite desperate for thee toilet but he can't get out of the screen until everyone moves.

A fit of the giggles begins to set in. Why is no-one leaving!!!

As the credits stop and the lights come on the collection of people around us (mostly in their latter years) begin to walk down to the bottom of the stairs. At this point they then begin to make friends with each other and discuss the film!

So strange! At this point James rushes out of the screen to the bathroom and i dissolve into laughter...

The staff holding the door open looked as confused as we were.




(also - I changed the printer to fast draught today and it scared the hell out of me! It was practically launching paper at my face and I'm pretty sure the whole room was shaking...)
