That's a mofungo. It looks like the ones I used to get at a restaurant in Chelsea which closed years ago.

*sigh*

Just got back from Bring It On and really enjoyed the show. EXCEPT the little bitch who kept taking out her phone and texting every 2 minutes during the second act. After the third time, the following ensued:

ME: "Please turn off your phone."

HER: "It's not distracting you."

ME: "Yes, it is. Please turn it off now."

HER: "It is NOT distracting you." (what is she, Obi-Wan Kenobi?)

ME: "It's distracting, which is why I said something. Turn it off like they said at the beginning of the show."

Then her mother chimes in: "What's distracting you? Is it the light? She'll cover the light."

The girl then finishes her text in her purse. One minute later, she pulls it out again, this time, in full view and just starts scrolling through the screens, clearly just to be a bitch.

ME: "What is wrong with you? You don't need to do that now."

By this time, my companions are glaring at her.

HER: "Don't make me get all ghetto on your ass!"

So, I completely turn to face her and say, "GO AHEAD!" And just keep staring at her waiting for her to go all ghetto on my ass. She just keeps scrolling through the screens until her mother tell her to put the phone away.

She whips the phone out a couple more times and her mother tells her to put it away each time until she finally stops for the rest of the act.

I was in the 6th row center of the orchestra and the ushers weren't even in the house at all, so getting up and going to find one would have accomplished nothing unless they bothered to stick around and catch her in the act.

Leaving the theatre, about a dozen people came up to me and told me how her phone distracted them as well and were happy that I did something about it. But I was VERY close to full-on Luponing that bitch and stopping the show if I had to. I honestly don't get why people want to PURPOSELY ruin a show for others. She was obviously around college age and knew better.

Sadly, it seems that this type of incident is becoming more and more commonplace. Every time I ask another driver to stop using their cell phones while driving, the answer always seems to be 'Fcuk you'.

I think more people need to speak out when it happens. I find it amazing how many people will just sit there and do nothing.

Glad you stood up to the distracting audience member, Mr. Matt. I only wish I had been more assertive during my incident. I look back now and almost can't believe how rude she was, and how she ignored me when I politely whispered for her to move a little so that we wouldn't be practically rubbing our legs together. At one point, she turned to her beau and they giggled for like 5 min. very loudly. The second time I said it really upset and actually began to feel harassed. One of the strangest situations I've ever been through. I was incredibly close to grabbing her and shoving her aside. She had plenty of space and simply refused to move. I just will never understand how anyone could just sit there. The couple next to me lost it when they saw her use my knee as a leg rest. I think I was just so stunned, I couldn't think of anything. The guy motioned to me to call one of the ushers and I said no because I didn't want to cause a scene. The heffer was probably mentally unstable.

Thanks Carlos-several spellings came up when I googled-I guess I chose the wrong one!

Jersey Boys is the only show on Broadway where I've actually been sassed back at people who I have nicely shushed. (This hasn't happened at JB at any other venue!)

One hint for each of you that has helped me many times with someone whose cell is on. I just let them know that they are distracting the actors and it can harm them if they lose focus.
Usually the guilt stops their behavior.

Face it, noone cares about your comfort, but if they think the cast is talking about that ass on the phone, and it might get them in trouble.... It's always worked for me.

Mom taught me to work guilt like a violin. Thanks mom!

That'll work too!

I'm guessing Dame's grasp on legal tenets is tenuous at best.

When I was given a tour of the new performing arts center they built in my home town, they couldn't wait to show me the women's restrooms. They were SO EXCITED about it, and I really didn't understand what the big deal was until I went inside.

The place has 10 times the amount of stalls I have ever seen in ANY restroom! Row after row, ailse after aisle! The theatre hold around 600 people and there must have been 100 stalls in the womens restroom!

Gaveston, having worked as a janitor, I caan tell you Men's Rooms are left much cleaner the the Women's Rooms.
