Maybe they can go to the malt shop later? And then the sock hop?

    “After that, let’s met up at the malt shop, listen to some doo-wop songs on the jukebox, and go see a movie at the drive-in.”

      Dude, I fucking hate people. Drive-ins ftw, I don’t need to hear about how Rebecca on the 7th floor is such a bitch for sucking Andrew in the break room when she knew that Elix (spelled with a silent k) wanted him first, and the group of four are all on Instagram and Facebook starting drama, on their phones, in light mode, with no end in sight as the movie is about to start.

      When me and my best friend still went to the movies, we’d always have this kind of shit happen, and we had a routine where one of us would loudly start talking about how we didn’t think dinner was settling right and we might shit ourselves, or retelling how a couple rows down (where the annoying people are at) is about where my ex blew me and the mess was still there last time we checked, or we’d just start letting out some (not so) silent-but-deadly farts. Whatever it took to make sure the movie was enjoyable, we’d go pretty far with things, but it worked 100% of the time, the group would always move away.

      Not having to do that, having the a/c exactly as we want it, the volume at the level we want it, would be so much better. Really, less interaction with people in general would be a wonderful thing…
