Humans are silly beings. Just watch any person and/or group of people close enough and it’s amazing how much is going on simultaneously. If we ever did get invaded by aliens, I think they’d just fail to comprehend human nature and our reactions and just leave frustrated.
Today I watched Star Wars – Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (awesome movie, by the way). It was to begin at 10:45 AM. My sister and I got there at about 9:00AM and were the first ones there. I got my sister to stand in front of the door to begin a line while I went a little off to the side where the guy said the actual line might start. By about 10:00AM there were already around 50 people lined up behind my sister; which I must admit I found a little amusing. I mean there were 3 other sets of doors to the theater, but everyone just automatically lined up behind my sister, who was standing in front of one of the many doors. But back to my story. So after I’m convinced there won’t be a line where I’m standing, I decide to join my sister. By now there are easily 60-70 people lined up in front of the door behind us. Then this guy comes up with his hair tied back, wearing these sleek sunglasses and this smooth jacket thinking he’s coolness incarnate along with his little posse. And he’s all “excuse me” as he goes in front of me to check on the doors of the theater to see if they’re locked. When he left, my sister and I, along with the couple behind us just started cracking up. It’s as if 70 people would be standing outside in the incredibly hot and humid weather by choice. Cause apparently he thinks none of us have checked the doors. sigh.
The worst part is that even though I’m making fun of this guy, I would probably do the same thing if I were in that situation. It reminded me of this comedy routine that I think Ellen DeGeneres had where she talks about people feeling the need to repeatedly push the elevator button as if it would speed things up. Everyone knows it won’t. Yet everybody does it anyway. Why is that? I guess it just keeps you busy while you wait. I do it all the time. But it’s just more enjoyable watching other people do it so I can make fun of them.
...my need to engage in homicidal behavior on a massive scale cannot be corrected
