I had a bit of an evening last night too! I was going to the cinema when I got home and when I do this if there isn't time to eat a meal at home before, I quite often have mc donalds before as it is by the cinema. Well yesterday on the way home it was pouring with rain (for a change! ), then part way home there was a monster traffic jam which was about the longest of equal longest in 9 years of driving to & from work! Apparently there was an accident on one road, so everything went the other way. So i sent text to my friend saying that I would be late and to save me a seat in the cinema and he replied saying that he would and that it was packed!
I Didnt even have time to change and no chance of even having mac donalds! Then the conditions on the motorway were terrible with the pouring rain and surface water. I saw a wave of water come up from a car just in front to the left, then I hit it and the steering went funny as well as the engine which was quite worrying! A second later it was ok.
Arrived in the car park and it was raining even harder, so I ran to the cinema and was soaked by the time I got there! Went inside and realised that it was so busy that I had to queue outside which I've never had to do before! Then I received a text from my friend saying that my seat he had saved for me had been taken! it was at this time I nearly decided to just go home! By the time I had shown them my pass for my ticket they said that the trailers had finished and the film would have started but luckily when I walked in it was just literally starting! So at least something went right!
I think I will avoid the cinema on Wednesdays now as that's the 2nd wednesday in a row when it's been really busy, so I can only think it's to do with the orange Wednesdays thing where Orange mobile phone customers get cheaper tickets.
