Today, I went to the movies with my husband and our 6-year-old son. My husband kept stealing popcorn from the guy next to him, to the point where the guy punched him in the face. The movie was stopped, the police were called, and my son is now inconsolable. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was at a movie theater. I heard some obnoxious people talking in front of me. After about 5 minutes, I began throwing popcorn at a group of suspected people. As I was escorted out, I realized that the obnoxious people were in the background of the movie. FML
Today, I went to the movies with my boyfriend. We went inside the theatre and he saw a couple of his friends. Instead of saying hi and coming back to watch the movie with me, he ditched me for them. When I reminded him he was forgetting something, he grabbed the popcorn out of my hands and left. FML
Today, while on my way to the movies, I stopped at a gas station to pick up candy so I could avoid the high prices at the movies. The guy who tore my ticket asked for my purse, confiscated my candy, and then kicked me out of the movie theater. That guy was my boyfriend. FML
Today, my family and I went to the movie theater. There weren't enough free seats near the front, so I sat a few rows back with my grandpa. He kept throwing our snacks at my parents' heads all through the movie. He claimed he'd been asleep the whole time, and I'm now grounded. FML
Today, while shopping, my six-year-old son threw a tantrum because I wouldn't buy him a video game. I ended up having to grab his arm and leave the store. He screamed that I was kidnapping him, at which point I was socked in the face and pinned to the floor by three bystanders. FML
Today, I was having a rough day, so I decided to go to the movies to unwind. 15 minutes in, some assmunch behind me said "This movie sucks!" then dumped his drink over my head and ran out. FML
Today, at the movies, some asswipe kept throwing candy at me. After 20 minutes of it, I got up and went over to get him to stop. Good news: his balls vanished faster than a politician's spine immediately after being elected. Bad news: I got kicked out for "starting a disturbance". FML
Today, my young son and I were in line at Subway. I guess he got bored and started to insult the teenage girl behind us. I tried to get him to stop, but he wouldn't listen. Eventually the girl punched him in the face and left. As my son cried uncontrollably, everyone else there clapped. FML
Today, I went to see a movie but took my phone out a few times to check my socials. Apparently the asshole behind me didn’t like that, because he ripped my phone out of my hands, dropped it in my soda, then just sat back in his seat like nothing happened. FML
Today, I went to see a movie with three of my friends, and I was sharing popcorn with one of them. Halfway through the movie, my friend asked me why I wasn't eating our popcorn. I then realised I'd been taking popcorn from the man sitting next to me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

RonnieG 10
it's POPCORN.

Ya, but also take into consideration the fact that a stranger, who's been touching who knows what, took it upon himself to stick his hands in the food you're eating. Nevermind the type of food, I would be pissed about him ruining it with his germs and wasting my money.

But, is popcorn enough for me to punch someone in the face, resulting in assault charges, having the cops called, being arrested, court fees, probation and/or jail time? No.
Uhscanherdarklee 10
Just popcorn? No. But spreading who knows what type of infectious germs, sickness, and/or diseases to me? Maybe.

#26 is right. I don't even eat gas station donuts because who know who has been picking their nose, scratching their ass, or adjusting their balls and then rifling through the donuts? I certainly don't want a stranger sticking their fist in my bucket of popcorn.
RonnieG 10
but is your bucket of popcorn worth assault charges? big Joe in prison: Hey, what're you in for? You: Punching a guy in the face for stealing my popcorn. Big Joe: O o

No because its not about the popcorn. But is someone potentially giving me MRSA, stomach flu, or any other type of transmittable disease or sickness that would cause me to miss work, compromise my health and pass on to my family worth it? Again, I say maybe. I dont mean to keep going back and forth but im trying to explain how the reaction, although it may seem extreme, could be justifiable. Im no expert in sickness and diseases or any of that, but I would imagine there is a plethora of diseases/sicknesses that can be passed onto you by eating food touched by someone with contaminated hands. Like someone said, who knows what they were touching/doing before putting their hands in the popcorn bucket.

Not to mention the fact that it was a continuous action. I could see being at the movies with someone and mistakenly reaching to the wrong side at a strangers popcorn, but to keep doing it? Im sure the stranger corrected him at least once. Seems like Ops husband was provoking the situation.

I'm not saying that the guy should have been stealing the popcorn. but, the other guy should have been a bigger person and not hit the guy. and the movie was obviously for children because the op brought her son. the man punched someone in the face in front of children. over popcorn.
Uhscanherdarklee 10
*sigh. Sure, okay. It was all over popcorn. Not over invading his personal space repeatedly, not over spreading his germs, not over ignoring im sure at least one request to stop, not over provoking him, not over interrupting his overpriced movie, just over...popcorn. The stranger is really protective of his popcorn. Maybe we should just agree to disagree? :-)

How would you feel if a stranger sitting next to you at a restaurant started helping himself to your food from the table next to you repeatedly? Also, you wouldn't go to prison for punching a dude unless you killed them with the punch, or caused them enough damage. You would most likely be charged and get a fine to pay to the "victim" and the court. That is if the judge ruled in favor of this dude.

It's not so much about the food, but the principle of it. It's no different than if you were at mcdonalds and someone at the table next to you grabs your burger and takes a bite out of it. OPs husband deserved it, and hopefully the cops told him as much.

People took their kids to see Deadpool. Just because a child is in the theater does not mean that the movie is "obviously meant for children," you stubborn twit.

What's the bigger crime: what your husband did or the cost of theatre popcorn?
Redgrass7 7
I'm gonna go with the price of popcorn. You know what I can get for a bucket?

Well your husband shouldn't be a thief. He's should've been have been setting an example for your son.
