We went to the Sickles High School graduation ceremony tonight at the USF Sun Dome. A friend of our's son, Craig Braddock, graduated tonight. Congrats!
It's interesting how rude people are these days at graduation ceremonies. The Senior choir started singing and people were to busy cheering too hear them. No respect. I began to feel as if I was at a sporting event. People kept tromping up and down the aisles. I guess their momma never taught them "always go to the bathroom before any event or activity." Mostly these were healthy looking adults who were doing this. Tsk Tsk.
I went to a concert once, in the Ice Palance, Paid over $200 for my single ticket. It was Andrea Bocelli. I was excited. So the first thing was that it is a horrible place for this type of concert. But forgetting that, there was the behavior of the audience that made it a less than enjoyable evening. People coming in late,,,,,,,,crawling down the isles, beer and popcorn in hand, talking. Taking their time to be seated. Popcorn at Opera? You have to be kidding! During the entire performance people came and went, talked, spilled beer and generally acted as if the Lightening were on the ice. So guess what, it is definitely not just people at graduation ceremonies. It is just people who don't care. And most of these were adults who, like me, paid dearly for the privledge of being where they were!
ReplyDeleteOne note, do not go to Ice Palace or whatever it is called these days for anything but a game, or perhaps the Greatful Dead. Something where you expect to be doused with beer, sprinkled with popcorn and generally annoyed!
