MOVIE HORROR STORIES

You've Been Torqued
by Steph

After I saw an advanced screening of "Torque" with Johnny, I wanted to get a poster. I even left the movie a little early to go find one. I didn't see posters anywhere. Then I saw Johnny with one. Turned out that right as you exited the theater, if you gave a comment about the movie you'd get a poster. I didn't realize this. And so then Johnny wouldn't go back and get me a poster. I was devastated.

Johnny: Can I do a quick impersonation of Stephanie? *ahem* "My name is Stephanie, AND I LIKE TO DISTORT THE TRUTH!!!!!!!" The truth is that I tried to get two posters, but the guy made sure you gave a comment BEFORE he'd give you a poster. So I found Stephanie and told her what the deal was. She asked me to go get her one but I explained that you had to give a comment to get one. She didn't seem too happy about that, but she went over there.

Welp, they were all out of posters by this time. So I GRACIOUSLY offered her my poster. She said no, she didn't want it. I told her to please take it, but she refused. So it's not my fault, and I refuse to feel guilty about the situation. I tried my best to get Stephanie a poster, and when that didn't work I tried to give her mine. The fact that she chose to act like a 6-year-old and not accept my offer is the reason she doesn't have a "Torque" poster. Sure looks good in my cubicle though.


Moral of the Story: Life's too short to dwell on the fact that you don't have a "Torque" poster. IT'S JUST "TORQUE!" IT'S NOT EVEN A GOOD MOVIE!!!!!

Steph's Response: I am a girl and a fairly old-fashioned one at that. I enjoy when my man does things for me. That gentlemanly quality is attractive. So is it too much for me to have wanted Johnny to think of me first instead of himself? He acted as though I hadn't even tried to get a poster. "They were right outside, how could you not see?" What a crushing blow. I'm a mere 5 feet tall. The crowd of people outside the theater blocked my view of those handing out posters. Johnny, being over 6 feet tall, did not have this problem. And for this, I was made to suffer.

Yes, Johnny offered his poster to me. "Do you want my poster?" he asked, almost begrudgingly. Johnny, Johnny, Johnny. That was not how to do it. He should have said, "Here, Steph, I want you to have my poster." But no. It was not meant to be. Thanks for nothing.

Johnny: *hangs head* I'm sorry.

New Moral of the Story: The girl's always right, and the guy's always wrong. Sorry guys, you'll learn it soon enough if you haven't already.
