It is the most annoying/bewildering and as you said, self-satisfying thing ever. Who ARE they clapping to? Each other. ? It drives me crazy. I hold my breath when movies end hoping my audience is mature and socially-skilled enough to not start clapping.Fashalina aka The Hyperbalisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12220550113305778862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452621549434169941.post-71984975334871008892010-10-21T06:04:18.568-07:002010-10-21T06:04:18.568-07:00Eeep!

I almost passed out when I read she had been missing a week, and that <em>after</em> I knew she was safe and sound.<br /><br />The whole part about the movies, on the other hand, had me in stitches. I'm the same way! Actually, worse. And my tetchy extends to most venues outside my living room. My husband can't complain too much, though, because he's getting to be the same.

Would that freak you out too, as they aren't there? (I don't clap!) Nail filing in any public place (esp on public transport) is just unacceptable.

So glad that the puppy seems to get a loving home, and that other lady.. seriously. I bet she'd say the same thing to someone who'd lost their child. My kitty is my baby, I could never replace her. <br /><br />About the movies, I so agree with you, the clapping at the end is annoying. Luckily there's really not a tradition of doing that here in Sweden, so we're quite happy with our movie visits. Also, I don't know why, but if you avoid the mid day showings where the kids and youngsters roam about, there rarely is someone who disturbs you even in a fully seated salon. Are swedes just well behaved, or maybe boring?Detailing Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15444988965941642425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452621549434169941.post-32632808073432772342010-10-19T08:15:34.738-07:002010-10-19T08:15:34.738-07:00So glad you're feeling better!
