a mate of mine works in a cinema...
as we all know, in a cinema screen the rows are lettered from A-Z. They recently had to remove the letters 'O' and 'I' from the rows in the screens, as apparently people were confusing them with numbers, thinking they were 0 and 1, then moaning when they couldn't find their seat.

why someone would think they would randomly throw some numbers in that alphabetical order is beyond me...

I decided upon a visit to...
the cinema just this week, a certain fruit based phone companies special deal Wednesday if one so wishes to know. I walked straight past our row, simply because getting down on my hands and knees to try to read the row labels would have embarrassed my friend. How everyone else was seated I really don't know. Must be a bit simple. I'm a right short arse.

You do realise you're posting this on a site that does actually swap out letters for numbers right?

Power Cut
Used to work in a cinema to, we had a power cut and the amount of people who when we told them this would still ask 'So you're not showing any films then?'

Also the amount of people Xmas 2001 asked to see Lord of the Rings The TWIN Towers.

We used to have trouble getting mail at our flat
The carrier couldn't find building 'zero' (O) and couldn't figure out his error despite every other building having a letter on it.
