Today, this guy and I went on a date to the movies. We got up to the desk and I asked for one ticket for 'Jennifer's Body.' The guy moved his way in front of me and said, "make that two tickets." He then walked away to look at movie posters and left me with the $22.50 charge. FML

And you paid? Why would you pay? Tell them "No. I just want one ticket." Don't take that shit, damn it.

erm... am i missing something here. it's normal for the man to pay for both tickets without even asking. now we're living in an emancipated world. isn't it possible for you as well? though it's cheap of him to force you. seems he's not the best choice. i can't tell how often you've been invited to the movies by a guy. next time consider doing the same as well. guys can be happy about this, too.

I really hope people aren't going to make this a whole 'but guys are always expected to pay for both tickets - this is payback' thing...This would have been super rude even if OP was a guy. In these (what I hear are hard times in America) you think that people would just pay for their own tickets, dinners etc. on dates.

We live in an emancipated world!? Since when? Seems to me like women have it all as some sort of repayment for when men used to have it all...

yeah, women totally have it all, that's why we still make 20% less than men for the exact same job with the exact same qualifications... 9_9

Thank you #47. Don't get me wrong. I love my double standards. I don't want to fight on the front lines, I don't buy a car often enough to care if the dealer addresses everything toward my husband, and I don't want to be the main bread winner. I understand that if my house is dirty, even if it's my husband's share, that people will blame me. I get that I'm the one blamed if my kid grows up to be a serial killer. I know I'm "at fault" if my kids only eat food from a microwave. It all evens out as far as I'm concerned. If the waiter is going to assume that my husband is ordering, he can go ahead and assume that he's paying as well. There ARE still double standards, though. Double. As in both.

I don't think she thought he'd pay for both of them.. It sounds like she thought they'd each pay for their own, since she went up first and ordered only ONE.

I would never do taht to a girl I was dating, but I'm thinking this really isn't a big deal. You easily could have switched it back to one ticket. It sucks he was insensitive enough to just try and make you pay for him, but in the long run, it is just a movie ticket. Haha maybe he thought snacks were on him, and in that case chances are you were getting a bargain, they gouge you so bad for popcorn.drinks/candy, it worse than the tickets... lol... :P

You should have said, "actually, no tickets thanks" and left his ass there

You should've told the clerk to wait for just a momment and confront him on this right then and there by yelling at him and making him look like the biggest asshole in front of everyone in the theatre then dumped his sorry mooching ass! OP if you stay with this looser be prepared to pay for everthing from now on because he knows you will.

yeah, rising a big scene and making everybody else wait and making you look like a psychotic bitch would be by far the best way to deal with that situation...

YDI then if you were stupid enough to pay for the ticket after he acted like that.

I misread this the first time, and didn't see where you had said that you were on a date with this man, so when he moved in front and said "make that two" and walked away, I don't think I've ever laughed that much this early in the morning!
