To the Movie and Back

I have been waiting for this movie for a long time. So I book the first day first show. On the day, I arrive 10 minutes late. I quickly rush through the security check and run to grab my seat, only to find someone else seated there.

'I believe you have taken my seat. Could you please check?'

'Sure... Nope! We booked seven tickets and this is ours. Guess there is some confusion. Why don't you check with the usher.'

'Okay thanks. I'll check.'


To the usher...

'Can you please show me my seat?'

'Sure! Your seat number?'


'It reads A-7 i.e. I believe is in the top row.'

'Come with me ma'am.'


He checks the ticket of the occupant and mumbles in confusion, 'How is it possible?'

He takes me to the bottom row and promises to get back to me shortly. He asks me to take a seat meanwhile.

He comes back and asks, 'Ma'am can I please see your ticket again?'

'First of all, you issued a wrong ticket and now, you're ruining my movie. Here. It's A-7.'


He scrutinizes my ticket and I look at him blankly.


Ma'am this is booked for the same show but tomorrow.

'WHAT!! NO!!! How-Is-It-Possible!! How can your site goof up????'

'I have to watch this movie right now. Can you please let me sit at the bottom row and watch the movie.' (Yea! I cant wait till the next day.)'

'I'm really sorry ma'am. The movie is houseful.'

Right then, the owner of the empty seat arrives.

I leave!!!
