The bane of my life
I work in a cinema, and on the weekends the brats literally swarm over the place like flies. Some child related antics just from today..
A) A group (about 10) were sitting on a table in the foyer. As I walked past, one boy pointed to another boy and shouted at me "HE JUST SAID YOU'RE HIS GIRLFRIEND!" to cries of "oooooooooooooh!" from everyone else to "NO! NO I DIDN'T! WHAT YOU TALKING ABOUT! I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING!" as if this statement was legally binding. Everybody laughs.

B) Kids spitting from the upper level onto customers on the lower level. Manager runs like a twat after them. Everybody laughs.

C) A fight broke out between some Somali kids in one of the screens. A knife was pulled, the police were called, the kids were banned. My (black) friend says "You can't take us anywhere!" Everybody laughs.

My life is shit.

We used to get this in the cinema I worked in...
Crazy 13 yr old 'lesbians' feeling each other up on the front row, kids riding the lifts all day (what fun!), and my personal favourite, Pikey Sunday.
This was when the entirety of the local traveller population would descend on the place, ask how much tickets and everything on the menu was, (couldn't read, you see) and then you had the three foot tall 11 year olds all trying to get into 15's, with their curiously young looking mums confirming their ages...

I only miss the free films.

Today, gloriously,
is my last day of working in the cinema I've worked in since last Summer.

It's a crap job, and has ended my faith in democracy.

It is a crap job
although the manager limits my contact with customers as 3 mystery shoppers have now described me as "indifferent, bored, did not care" so that's a little better.
