I don't see why havning a song by Queen stuck in one's head is a bad thing! Of course, Adam's muscial outburst inspired what will follow... *singing* Open up your mind and let me step inside Rest your weary head and let your heart decide It's so easy when you know the rules It's so easy all you have to do is fall in love Play the game, Everybody play the game of love When you're feeling down and your resistance is low Light another cigarette and let yourself go This is your life Don't play hard to get It's a free world All you have to do is fall in love Play the game, everybody play the game of love My game of love has just begun Love runs from my head down to my toes My love is pumping through my veins Driving me insane Come come come play the game This is your life - don't play hard to get It's a free world all you have to do is fall in love Play the game... */singing*  |  IP: Logged Fred Georges Master Film Handler Posts: 257 From: Lombard, IL, USA Registered: Jun 2000 posted 05-21-2003 08:24 PM                     At a former theatre they had a two stall in the Mens room. Once a month we had a mystery patron who would leave a sequoia sized in one of the toilets but no paper (nothing to obscure the view I guess) Then, somehow he would latch the other stall so the next user HAD to view his masterpiece and flush it. What was up with that??  |  IP: Logged Bruce McGee Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1776 From: Asheville, NC USA... Nowhere in Particular.

As fas as womens restroom I occasionally have seen urine on the seats. Makes you think think about who walks into your theatre.  |  IP: Logged Christopher Duvall Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 500 From: Denver, CO Registered: Dec 1999 posted 05-25-2003 03:53 AM                     WE had an interesting one tonight. As I am walking down the hallway from the auditoriums to the lobby, I see my dutiful ushers do a restroom check. Within seconds of them entering the men's restoom, they all piled out quickly with their hands on their mouths and noses screaming. Good thing that there was no one in the lobby. They proceed to tell me about the mess. I in turn HAVE to investigate to see if they were over doing it. They weren't. From the entrance was a trail of less than firm fecal matter leading to the stall. It was aromatic to say the least . No sir, the ushers were none to happy about that. Later that evening (about an hour) we saw a gentleman leaving the theatre and he had brown markings on his pants and his right pant leg was tucked in his sock. He actually stayed to finish his movie. I would have hated to be the customer that had to sit near him...  |  IP: Logged Gracia L.

Outside of a cinema I used to work at, there was an ashtray of sorts - a small, squarish recepticle about two-thirds full of kitty litter. (Much easier to scoop the butts out of there than to have to sweep them up of the sidewalk! ) Well, one afternoon an elderly woman was walking down the sidewalk, stopped by said recepticle, dropped her drawers, squatted over the spent cigarette butts, and proceded to drop a less than solid - and quickly continued on her way. It all happened too fast for the girl at the box office that noticed it happening to do anything to stop the old bird, so instead she called into the office via phone intercom, and relayed what happened. Then I had to wonder if I was working with coprophiliacs. Of the employess in the building at the time of the incident, I was the only one who did not go outside and take a peek in the ashtray.  |  IP: Logged Evans A Criswell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1579 From: Huntsville, AL, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 05-25-2003 01:29 PM                        quote: I would have hated to be the customer that had to sit near him...

My booth partner for 2 years was "blessed" with a colostomy. He would delight in dumping His bag in the booth toilet at the end of His shift and I'm here to tell ya that's raw sewage! It would leave a foul, putrid cloud in the booth. It got so bad I'd open the booth door as soon as I would arrive for my shift and start spraying the deodorizer. That sick bastard took public transportation and would delight in telling Me How He'd "Burp" the bag on the bus releasing a toxic stench that He said "Always guaranteed Me the seat of my choice". He's still an operator today but, thankfully, now works alone.  |  IP: Logged Charles Everett Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: New Jersey Registered: May 2001 posted 05-26-2003 08:17 PM                     Adam and Ian must have seen Daddy Day Care.  |  IP: Logged Tom Kroening Expert Film Handler Posts: 214 From: Janesville, WI USA Registered: Oct 1999 posted 05-31-2003 01:52 AM                     Women always tear up the bathroom. I've had broken tank lids, toilets cracked off of the floor, soap dispensers ripped down, toilet seats bent, blood boxes dumped, flush handles broken, faucets detached and of course our favorate, the shit spray. What the hell goes on in there? The worst thing that happened in the guys room was a toilet needed a new float because the old one had a hole in it.  |  IP: Logged
