I am such an idiot!!!!!!

[VolcanoJen]

Of course, you guys knew that already.

So, in my excitement to purchase my F911 tickets for tomorrow's Saturday matinee, I mistakenly purchased tickets for a showing this afternoon, at which time I'll be at my dumb job. :grr:

I went back into the system and bought the correct tickets for tomorrow, but now I'm an extra $14.00 (American) in the hole for Moore's movie.

Here's my dilemma... do I stand in line at the multiplex tomorrow to get my refund (the whole idea of buying tickets online was to avoid the queue, but again, I'm a fuckin' idiot), or do I just donate the extra $14.00 (American) to Michael Moore, Lions Gate, and the rest of the Good Guys?

Please vote in this thread. Tell VolcanoJen what to do, because I clearly can't take care of myself. }(

1. Do you have someone you could give the tickets to?

If it is not too late for that. Maybe you'll find some freepers who like to watch it for free?

[VolcanoJen]

3. LOL.... aren't the Freepers busy buying tix for "Shrek 2"...

... and sneaking into F911, because they simply can't help themselves?

Of course, who am I to call a Freeper an idiot at this point... :+

The show is in one hour and a half... and you have to have my credit card to retrieve my tickets. :-(

Crap, crap, crap...

My theater does not allow refunds on tickets.

Maybe you can find someone who wants to buy them from you, you eeeeeediot! ;-)

6. This theater will refund everything except the service charge.

Thing is, I probably have to go through some kind of maze to get the money back. Maybe they'll ask me to tie a lamb chop around my left leg and jog around the multiplex three times, or something.

Ahhh, crap, I AM an eeeeeediot! I think I'll likely just let the Good Guys keep my hard-earned cheddar.

You guys rule... thank you so much for your advice in this self-deprecating thread. :loveya:

2. give the extra tickets to some republicans in the office

4. Don't worry about it this time.....

Let them have the money and dont ask for a refund (just this one time). Do you know any friends or family that can go see the movie at this time?

5. Give them to some deserving Bush worshiper.

7. You'd not only be donating to Moore and the gated lions, ...

you'd also be donating to the theater and its chain. On the other hand, the theater and its chain DID consent to showing the film. So, IF you can't give the tickets to someone who CAN go, and if you can't sneak off from your job and go yourself, and if you can't stand standing in the line, then by all means lose your money.

8. Thanks, damnraddem. How much of the $$$ does the theater chain...

... reap, anyhoo? I was always under the impression that the theater chain makes most of its profits from concessions?

I guess I just made an unwitting donation to the "cause." Works for me... but I still felt a burning need to confess my own idiocy to my DU friends. :D

9. no...

Just blame the pimply teenager at the counter who is supposed to read your mind and know which showing you wanted to see.. :D
