Author Topic: Weirdest thing found in theatre? Richard Miller Film Handler Posts: 33 From: Lafayette, IN, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 02-03-2003 04:34 PM                     A couple going at it after the film had ended. We had 6-7 employees in the theater before they even noticed. It was funny to see the look on their faces.  |  IP: Logged Rachel Craven Madam Moderator Posts: 2190 From: Pensacola, FL Registered: Dec 2000 posted 02-03-2003 07:28 PM                     I once walked in on 2 women both half naked laying on the floor together in the middle isle. Sorry, no pictures Bob!  |  IP: Logged John Spooner Expert Film Handler Posts: 186 From: South Australia, Australia Registered: Jan 2003 posted 02-04-2003 10:26 AM                     Dennis` comments re. the co2 cannisters answered a question which had interested me for some time. Quite often I have seen numbers of these canisters left in various places such as car-parks and gutters, recently there was a considerable no. of them left in the car park of one of our theatres. Now I know what is going on. What a stupid thing to do, inhale a toxic gas, the medical books will tell of the damage caused to the body by such pratices. Regards, John Spooner.

I've never tried them , never will, me aint stoopid!  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 02-04-2003 11:17 AM                        Filling your lungs with pure carbon dioxide is simply causing asphyxiation -- you may kill youself from simple lack of oxygen. If you don't kill yourself outright, you may just kill part of your brain and risk a coma or permanent brain damage.  |  IP: Logged Michael Gonzalez Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 790 From: Grand Island , NE USA Registered: Sep 2000 posted 02-04-2003 11:21 AM                     Typically it is Nitrous Oxide, N2O, also called DINITROGEN MONOXIDE, or LAUGHING GAS. I was at a party when I was still in High School and they had a whole tank of the stuff. They were filling up balloons and handing them out for like $5.00 or something like that.  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 02-04-2003 11:33 AM                        Rachel I don't need a photograph to get the picture.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 02-04-2003 11:36 AM                        Nitrous oxide also can cause asphyxiation and brain damage: http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/nitrous/nitrous_data_sheet.shtml http://www.mwsc.com/MSDS/19.PDF  |  IP: Logged Jean-Michel Grin Expert Film Handler Posts: 222 From: Geneva & Lausanne, Switzerland Registered: Jul 2002 posted 02-04-2003 12:46 PM                        Various time we found empty bottle of wine, vodka and beer. But the most weirdest thing i found in a theater was in august 2001: a dildo's box in the women restroom. You may thinkin: was made a guy in the ladies room? After the theater closure. the projectionist make a check in every auditorium and the lavatory too. One time a Usher discovered a man liying on the floor of the auditorium. the guy said: I've lost my keys. but the usher told him: and what your doing in the dark ? The man escape him by the emergency exit. It was just interesed by the money in the safe, and waiting quietely that the theater was empty to made this crime...  |  IP: Logged Philip Duquette Film Handler Posts: 4 From: gilford NH, USA Registered: Jan 2003 posted 02-04-2003 03:21 PM                     $4,000 under a seat. It was business bank deposit bag. The sad part is that the guy sent in his 10 year old son to go look for it.  |  IP: Logged Mathew Molloy Master Film Handler Posts: 357 From: The Santa Cruz Mountains Registered: Nov 2000 posted 02-04-2003 03:34 PM                     While cleaning the theatre last year I picked up this plastic bottle of Mountain Dew sitting in the cupholder. It was full of yellow liquid and was approximately the temperature of a human. I have yet to get my hand washed completely. (Mind you, it's the same hand that picked up the courtesy cup of semen a couple years earlier.) One thing about L.A. that's different than Seattle. I have yet to find a cup or bottle of chew spit down here.  |  IP: Logged Dino Panagiotopoulos Expert Film Handler Posts: 139 From: Windor, Ontario, Canada Registered: Jan 2003 posted 02-04-2003 03:57 PM                     I once walked into a family washroom only to see a man on the receiving end of a great time! Funny thing is that the woman was sitting on the toilet and he was standing in front of her. When the man was confronted, he said that his wife was doing her thing on the toilet and he was looking in the mirror, and when he saw the door open, he turned and got in front of her so that nobody would see her. A great story not to mention the guy was drunk.............but his wife was amazing!  |  IP: Logged Kenny Thies Film Handler Posts: 42 From: Effingham, IL, USA Registered: Jan 2003 posted 02-04-2003 06:10 PM                     A woman's bra (36C) hanging on the bathroom stall door. Employees had a guessing game of which woman left it as each show got out.  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-04-2003 08:47 PM                        This thread is making me _really_ happy that I don't clean theatres now. The only place I've ever had to do it was in a small-town art house. The only stuff we ever found there was the usual boring junk: wallets, packing for various types of food we didn't sell, etc.  |  IP: Logged Angela Bartosic Film Handler Posts: 3 From: Wilmington, Delaware, USA Registered: Jan 2003 posted 02-04-2003 08:59 PM                     A Guy Thing - My usher found a banana with a condom on it. We figured the handler was "experimenting."  |  IP: Logged
