Oh and there's also loud folks at the moviesI was extremely bored (EXTREMELY), bored enough to go see Mary Reilly in the theater (you know, the one where Julia Roberts is Dr. Jekyll's maid. Riveting stuff). Please don't ridicule me, as I have already self-flagellated in penance. Last fifteen minutes of the film, old woman next to me exclaims loudly to her friend, "Ohhhhh [as if finally understanding something that has been eluding her for a long time]! Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde are the SAME PERSON!" I'm concerned that she needed to go see a Julia Roberts film to learn that piece of pop trivia.
My friend John saw 28 Days Later here in the States and among the gems from the people in front were:
A: What are those?
B: Shopping carts [aka trolleys].
A: Oh. They have those in England, too?
EDIT: Yes, these are dumb American stories, and there are lots of dumb Americans out there. But there's also lots of dumb Britons too! Don't get all upset- we're all a bunch of fucking dumb assholes together in a multicultural unity sort of way...
