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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, I went to the movies on a date. I went to pay for the tickets when I realized that I didn't have my wallet. Instead of my boyfriend paying, he laughed and paid for his own ticket. Then he went ahead and saw the movie without me. 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 boyfriend wanted to take me to a movie after days of not seeing me. This long-awaited date involved me paying for food and my movie ticket when he ran out of cash again. He then dumped me as we left the theater walking to his car. Yes, I financed my own breakup date. FML
Today, I went to the movies with my crush, who had asked me out on a date. Assuming he'd pay, I left my money at home. When the time came to buy the tickets, he only bought one for himself. FML
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
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, I went on a date to the movies with this guy I kinda like. When he was driving me home, he asked me to be his girlfriend; I said I couldn’t because it was really bad timing. He kicked me out of the car, called me an asshole, and made me walk home. FML
Today, I went to the movies. After it was over I got up and noticed a designer purse sitting on the ground in the back row. I opened it to look for anything that could give me a address so I could return it. The owner came back, assumed I was robbing her, and punched me in the nose. FML
Today, this guy and I went on a date to the movies. We got up to the desk and I asked for one ticket for 'Jennifer's Body.' The guy moved his way in front of me and said, "make that two tickets." He then walked away to look at movie posters and left me with the $22.50 charge. FML

Wow what an ass. Maybe he was angry because you were going to the movies without him?

Some rules are just meant to be broken.

It's not against the law to bring your own candy. What the boyfriend did was illegal.

No but it is frowned upon and it can get you kicked out of the theater.

Yes it is against the law to bring your own food and drink into a theater. They can search you if they suspect you are bringing in stuff you shouldn't. They also have authority to kick you out.

Against the rules, yes. Against the law? I think not. You won't get arrested for bringing candy into a movie theater.

139 - They don't joke around about candy 'round here. I did 6 months in prison for bringing a Hershey's bar into the theaters. Pffft. That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

That's strange, you really must've pissed him off. I snuck a huge duffel bag full of outside food into the movies before and didn't even get stopped.

"Was" is the key word

Not when the entire FML is in the past tense. It's poor grammar to change tenses. "Was," means nothing in this case.

I am sorry but you should have known better. The ticket sales go right to the company "leasing" the movie to the theater, so the concessions sold is the main profit of any theater. Also, bag searches are becoming common place due to the Colorado theater incident. I am sorry your boyfriend was so unprofessional about it though. But in this economy you do not want to lose your job. He was in the wrong but try and avoid his theater IF you can.

alright I apologize. it was a tragedy.

Hopefully the "was" means you dumped him. At first I would question why you would give your purse in the first place, but then I saw that you had given it to someone you thought you could trust. Then he confiscated your candy, which was bad enough, but he had no right to kick you out after he had taken the candy. You agreed to the search OP, you had no more candy, so you should have been allowed to go in. Since you didn't get to see your movie you can at least get the candy back.

He only wanted the candy!

Let me guess: Afterward, he blamed you for putting his job at risk. Sounds like he used what he knew of your habits against you. Would you have let any other ticket-taker search your purse? Sounds like time to clarify work-relationship boundaries.

Aw isn't that just precious

That last sentence sort of implies that you were expecting some kind of special exception to the "no outside food" rule. Sorry, but I think YDI.

I thought they can only search your belongings of they suspect you have a gun or some type of threat. I get that outside food is frowned upon, but I'm sure that searching in a movie theatre for the sole purpose of food isn't legal.
