I am mean.
Well this probably won’t surprise some of you.
Monday morning these two “ladies” in my office started loudly talking about the latest Avengers, which I haven’t seen yet, but plan to. Yes, I know some of you aren’t into them, but I am. I already had to deal with the various family members on Saturday not spoiling it at the birthday party.
These “ladies” asked my co-worker if it bothered her to talk about it. FYI, she is twenty-four and giggly. She says, Oh no, I don’t care about Marvel.
So they proceed to loudly start discussing what they’ve seen. I say, nicely, no spoilers, please. Giggly hears me because she laughs, because that’s what she always does.
They continue discussing it AND I hear something. So now I am mad. I yell out “NO SPOILERS.”
There’s like a collective gasp and then nervous laughter and a “oh, sorry.” I yell THANK YOU. That kills the conversation.
So later my friend, who I told the whole thing to, tells me these same “ladies” said I was so mean and loud when I yelled at them.
So, yeah, okay, I’m mean.

That’s not mean! That’s just common courtesy.
These are the same ones that stand around talking all the time right? I don’t like them anyway. Jerk faces

I saw Endgame Thursday night and I’ve kept my mouth shut. Seeing it again tomorrow night with Eleni as she hasn’t seen it and I do need someone to talk to about it! 🙂
Looking forward to your thoughts on the movie once you see it 🙂
I hope you enjoy Captain Marvel

You said it nicely the first time. THEY are the selfish ones who were mean and wouldn’t hold it down or discuss it later.

See, you’re not taking advantage of this situation as you should. You should tell them, hell yeah I’m mean when you spoil a movie I’ve been waiting TWO YEARS TO COME OUT and I’m seeing it tonight and you RUINED IT!!!
Maybe that way, they’d get the idea and not ever do it again.

JJ of the ever and always changing user name… however you do that. (If I were to alter my name I’d end up not recognized by ao3 and forever rejected and exiled from it .):
I am here now and agree with you and yaoichan about the cliffies! Seriously killing me!
Ivan, I think you showed great restraint with the spoiler ladies. People are just so insensitive to and oblivious of others. Wonder how they’d feel if the shoe was on the other foot? They should hold their tongues till they can talk in private.
I have not seen the Avengers movie, and in fact, I don’t think I’ve seen any of the previous movies either. My husband hates fantasy or super hero stories, so won’t go to see them. I just don’t like to go to the movies by myself. I’m guessing you’d need to see the previous movies for the present movie to make sense… So I would have to find any previous movies online to catch up. Sigh! ❤
