Today, I went to see Terminator. Not wanting to spend an outrageous amount of money at the concession stand, I sneaked a Dr. Pepper into the theater. I thought I had gotten away with it, until I opened the bottle and it exploded all over me and four other people that I didn't know. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to see a movie. After getting my seat, I went out to get food. Coming back, I saw the security guard. Thinking he would ask me for my ticket, I moved all the food to one hand to get the ticket in my pocket. I spilled it all. He didn't ask to see it. FML
Today, I tried to sneak a burrito into a movie theater by hiding it in my jacket. Halfway through the trailers, the foil popped loudly, and the burrito slid out and rolled down the sloped aisle like a tiny log. The theater lights were still on, people turned to watch, so I pretended it wasn’t mine. FML
Today, I was at a concert and the guy who was selling the drinks tripped and fell down the stairs, landing on the floor next to me and the drinks went all over. I went to make sure he was okay and helped pick up the drinks. After assuring me he was okay, he gave me a free soda. It exploded. FML
Today, I went to the movies with some friends. During the movie, I really needed to pee but didn’t want to disturb anyone. So, I waited and waited. Finally, I couldn’t hold it anymore and bolted to the bathroom… only to get locked out of the theater in the process. The staff had to escort me back in during the end credits. FML
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 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 on a date, I drank all my soda and waited too long. I couldn't take it anymore and quickly got up, knocking my date's popcorn on the floor, and ran to the bathroom. I didn’t make it and went home in shame. It’s better he thinks I stood him up. FML
Today, I saw Avatar in iMax 3D. Towards the end of the movie I jump, yelled, and spilled my drink all over the people in front of me because I thought a burning piece of ash landed on my leg. FML
Today, while walking down the aisle of a movie theatre, I passed gas so loudly that the audience missed the climax of the film laughing at me. FML
Today, I was craving a cold Coke, so I grabbed one from the freezer where I had put it to chill quickly. As soon as I opened it, the can exploded all over me and the kitchen. I spent the next hour cleaning sticky residue off the floor, surrounding furniture, and even the ceiling. FML

Dr Pepper always does that. But I feel worse for the people sitting next to you. What did they do to you to deserve a Dr Pepper shower? lol

they told you they were coming after John Conner, what they didnt tell you was that they wanted a soda as well

cans of pop, excluding root beer is the way to go. if you shake them up, just tap them on the top a few times and they should be just fine to open.

Part of the movie experience is buying your drinks and snacks there, you cheap ass. YDI

Movie food is outrageously priced. I never buy it cuz it's practically robbery. In that respect, I feel for you. On the other hand, what could you have done to the bottle/can to make it that unstable? I'd have waited a minute after carrying it around, just to let it settle. YDI.

I don't blame you, it's absolutely ridiculous to charge something like $5 for a soda like some places do. If we buy that from the theater we have to split the one drink between the whole family, since that's as much of a cost as buying a drink for everyone at any reasonable place. I'd much rather just not eat or drink anything at all than pay that much for a soda, and if my family doesn't get a drink for the family then I just watch the movie and don't buy any concessions. It's not like you need to eat or drink during a movie, it's only 2 hours usually, so whether I sneak something in or not, there's no way I'm buying anything from the concessions at those prices. It's much better to have no drink than to pretty much throw away $5. $1.25 is even a bit much for a soda, but $5? No way. I'm not under any obligation to buy any concessions from you, just because I'm seeing a movie, if you set your prices at 5 times what I would normally consider reasonable...that doesn't mean I will sneak anything in but it usually just means I'd rather go without having anything...

That sucks. When i saw terminator (It was Awesome) and whenever i see any movie, i bring in a big thing of jamba juice, where everyone can see it, and nobody says anything.

yeah I pretty much had a similar story, ending with... in the theater. I thought I had gotten away with it, until I exploded all over my girlfriend and four other people that I didn't know. FML
