CRAZY people, CRAZY world, CRAZY system

hpph hpph hpph... Fuuh...

Whoa.. Did i just missed something? i wonder.. What are these people thinking, doing, and lining up?!??!?!

As i was thinking, i joined in the crowd, queing up, to get a ticket to watch a movie, (pirates of the carribean). The queue was horrifying, i could tell there is at least more than a 100 people there, just like me, all trying to get a ticket. Crazy? or last mintute purchase?

SELLING OUT FAST!
SELLING OUT FAST!
SELLING OUT FAST!
SOLD OUT!
SOLD OUT!

These was the letters that blink on the big screen above the ticket counter, and it maked me to start to think, hmmm, whether i will be able to get a ticket a not. But i was hoping for the best, so i queued and there was like about 12 people infront of me... and the worst is starting....

My show was starting about 2.15 and here i am, 1.15, an hour earlier, i was starting to estimate, if everyone just take a 2 minutes purchasing time, i would jus need to wait for like 20 minutes. But how wrong was i, the queue was stagnant for 10 minutes! i was horrified, what are this people doing? Queueing up just for fun?

Then, the line started to budge a little and everyone move a step forward, i saw this 2 people, holding just 3, THREE!!!! tickets, walking and laughing away, i felt disgust, didnt they knew that there is 12 people waiting behind!??!?!

So, everyone is taking their own sweet time, spending time asking their fren, discussing whether to watch or not, which is the best seat, and taking more than 5 minutes to finalize their own decision.

All this crazy people, first they flood the counter, then they start doing crazy things, callin their friend to ask what is the best decision, JEEZ! CANT THEY DO IT EARLIER AND MAKE THE decision?!?!?! i was really furious and i keep looking at my watch, 1.50, GREAT, and there is still 6 more people infront, i wont be able to make it...Then i realize something worst, something that i would do if there is a long queue, a couple or 2 friends, split into 2 queue, and see whether which one reaches first, well well well, FANTASTIC, now the queue is so much *SHORTER*.

Since long ago, i was wondering, why cant they just put a timer and restrict everyone to maximum 3 minutes to purchase their ticket and move away, wouldnt it be more effecient and saving the time and cutting down on the long queue and the stress that people need to go through just to get ticket to watch the movie??? Moreover, they could even try doing mobile ticket purchasing, make use of the great techology! creating palm top devices that can access to the mainframe and they can cut down down on the nonsense queue and the counter people wouldnt look stressed out. With everyone proclaiming that the human mind are the smartest , isnt there any solution ?? Gosh...

2.10, at last, my turn, "good afternoon miss, pirates of bla bla bla, and bla bla bla, COUNTER: i'm sorry sir, its all taken up, any other time? NO thanks i replied, GREAT, what a way to waste my time, and returned empty handed, thanks to all this crazy people and me, being stupid and CRAZY as well, should've think that the chances are 1/100 to get the dumbass ticket.

i was utterly dissapointed, as i walked away, i muttered to myself, CRAZY people, CRAZY world, CRAZY system..Thank god too as well, i saved RM11!! hahaa...

P:S, i guessed now i understand why the VCD, DVD traders are doing so well....

Stop watching movies at the cinema. In fact stop watching shows at all. Stop eating in the restaurants, stop using computers because they reboot, stop calling someone because it takes time for someone else to pick them up. Just stop living.
