You know what sucks? Having friends that are "poor"

[shortylickens]

I'm sure these people will more than likely not consider you to be a "friend".

Your hate for them surely shows.

The majority of Americans that are lucky enough to still have a job (other than you obviously) have been seeing their wages drop and cost of living increase.

Many or most living check to check barely making ends meet or actually running in a hole like the country.

So when they say they don't have the money to spend on a movie they are being fiscally responsible, truthful and should be respected and actually applauded for turning your condescending ass down to spend frivolously at the movies.

Yeah I been out of work for a while now. Thank god for the GI Bill. I try not to push myself into group things where I'd need to leech or borrow constantly.

poor friends aren't necessarily the problem, just like cost isn't always the reason why you might turn something down. I wouldn't want to see a terrible movie in a movie theater whether the ticket was $10 or $4; if I can't spare the time to see it or think I'll enjoy it, why bother?

I think the issue is value more than cost. Still, there's ways to discount the movie tickets (ie. Costco has discounted AMC and Regal ticket packs).

I don't know if anyone has said this yet. But just fyi: your "friends" have $15, but they don't want to go with you.

 

[Gintaras]

Ask about 5 good friends if they want to go see the Avengers movie this weekend. Out of those who have replied, they go "I don't have the money." It's freaking $15. You're 24+ and not in college with a job. How the F are you so bad with money you can't go, "ok yeah lets go!"

No wonder that an american says: I don't have money.

Average american is ~ $181,000 in debt. - loans, mortgages, cars, credit cards.
Total US is ~ $57 Trillion in debt.:

So, where someone would get $15 from?

WORK MAKES YOU FREE !!!

 

[waggy]

avengers was one of the few movies i didn't mind paying $45 to go see (2 tickets and drinks).

i rarely go anymore. being able to watch it at home is far better

 

[borisvodofsky]

I think the OP missed the point, those 5 "buddies" just doesn't like the OP, and they're not really friends.

The OP may be "that guy", you know?

 

[borisvodofsky]

$15 for a movie? Fuck that...wait 6 months, rent it at the Redbox for $1.20...or $1.50 for the Blu-Ray version.

Or, Arrrrg Matey..

 

[TridenT]

Jesus christ?! $15?!?! Who the fuck would spend money for that shit?

$15 is why movie theaters need to die.

 

[IGBT]

yet they have money for nose bolts/tat's/dope/iGadgets.

They probably turned you down because only a dumbass pays $15 to see a movie. 3D? Keep your glasses from the first 3D movie you ever see (avatar in my case, but any will do) then pay for the 2D version of the movie (avengers in this case) and walk into the 3D auditorium. Going to the Matinee time is also a no brainer. Avengers 3D for 8$? No problem!

The difference in price is not just about the glasses. This is exploiting the theatre 'honor system'.

Are you one of those that think paying for one movie entitles you to jump screen to screen all day?

Yeah I guess being a thief is preferable to begging.

 

[dud]

I refuse to pay $15 to see a movie, I'd probably tell you I didn't have money (to waste).

This.

You know what sucks? Paying $15 to see crappy movies.

 

[Fritzo]

What's even worse is if one out the group is poor. Anytime you do something, the one guy backs out because he can't afford it, then the others feel bad and don't go

 

[Red Storm]

I have $15 to spare, but I don't want to blow it on movie tickets. Talk about overpriced.

 

[Vdubchaos]

Going to the movies SUCKS, unless you are talking Weekday/$8 tickets and sneaking in food/drinks.

 

[Saint Nick]

i have a group of friends that live paycheck to paycheck and a group of friends (mostly coworkers) where we fight over who gets the tab at the end of the night.

then there are the couples that come out like once every 6 months.

Yeah once you're in an LTR, the bar scene pretty much goes away. Of course, I never was into the bar scene even after 21. So whatever.

What are you, 12 and live in the poor area of a city? I bet you're posting on someone's stolen wifi too.

 

[soccerballtux]

why is it $15? Are you wasting $5 on garbage 3D?

higher price in larger cities

 

[brianmanahan]

i just spent 10$ to watch spiderman last night, you jelly brahs?

dont be, wasnt as good as the first one D:

 

[chin311]

I only go to the movies when there's a groupon or something, even then I putti off til they are about to expire lol

Shit is a waste of $.

 

[nicolaskl]

I haven't been to the theater since the first Sherlock, because movie theaters blow ass. If someone asked me if I wanted to go I'd either just say no or invite them over to watch something on my HT.

 

[Pr0d1gy]

My wife and I are leaving to see a matinee showing of Ted in about 20 minutes and, with a large drink included, it will cost less than $15....

Maybe your friends think movies is where they should take their girlfriends, not you?

 

[dr150]

$15? That's ridiculous.

2 People $30 + concessions $15 (share a soda). $45 to sit in an uncomfortable seat, have your ass fall asleep, and not get the privilege to pause the movie when you have to piss. Not to mention the other hundred+ asshats that are sharing the experience with you.
