"Excuse me, sir. I'm afraid I have to ask you to throw your coffee away. We don't allow outside food or drinks in the theater."

I was standing in the concessions line, Starbucks in hand, waiting to buy a box of Junior Mints, when I was asked to throw my coffee away. Let me emphasize: I was standing in line at the concessions counter, about to spend $3.50 on a box of Junior Mints, and they're asking me to throw away my coffee.

And that, in a nutshell, is why I don't go to the movies much any more.
