Tickets for Play

We had to wait several minutes in the lobby before the Panida opened the doors. Then it was slow-going as the tickets were not collected quickly and the entry ticket was exchanged for another ticket, and then again exchanged for another ticket once you were past the entry doors.

Hubby picked up popcorn to go with his latte.

Inside the Panida

We sat on the right of the stage midway down. 2 stupid loud women had the WHOLE theatre to sit within and decided to sit RIGHT BEHIND US. One of them kicked my seat the whole play, then her phone began to ring mid play. Bitch. THEY TOLD YOU TO TURN OFF YOUR PHONES. BITCH.
FUCKING STUPID RUDE PEOPLE.

So during the 3 change of screen, we decided to use the restrooms and go to the balcony because hubby had finished his food. The notices around asked you not to take food into the balcony. There were wide sofa-like seats in the balcony, wish we had sat there before.

But the play was a slog, slow to get to ANY point. It was not amusing. The jokes and plot were only entertaining if one was an actual naturalized Sandpoint citizen who had lived there for YEARS! Jokes about former restaurants and bars.

For me, it was boring and seemed to not have a point.

We left at 8:00.

Hubby drove home. We saw an accident half way home. A new GM truck was on it's side in the ditch. However, the roads were only wet and not slippery. Already a tow truck and police had flashing lights taking care of it.

Hubby remembered that he had picked up the receipt for the Jeep cleaning. So we drove over to Walmart. Decided to stop at the Post Falls Starbucks to see if they had birthday card gift cards. When we pulled up in front and parked in handicapped parking, some asshole was having a fucking time of getting his kid out of the car. He refused to shut his door so I could get out. Then I finally got out and the guy's fucking cunt wife backed up and almost ran over me!

The Starbucks had NO birthday gift cards, so I returned to the truck. Hubby said that when I walked into the store, the asshole guy had looked at the license plate to see if it was handicapped, when he looked up, hubby was holding his middle finger up and pointing at the handicap placard! The guy refused to look at him again.
