Verbal Assault

I went to the movies the other day to see the movie: "Inception" it was an excellent film for the half that I saw. I only really saw half of the film because I was verbally assaulted by some bitch in the theatre. I for one don't give a flying fuck about anything else but the movie that is going to show, so I chat and make jokes until the actual movie begins. It is a good way to pass the commericals until you get to the actual movie you paid to watch.

So while I was bullshitting with a friend, the bitch next to him, some complete stranger, leans over and says with a stern look on her face, "are you going to be talking through the whole movie or are you going to stop when it starts." My buddy answered for me, "We are going to stop when it starts." He answered for me because I think he realized that I was so taken back by how and what this rude bitch said to me, that I pretty much froze as I gave her the death stare. I'm not afraid to admit that if there were no jail consequences I would have beat her to a bloody pulp and possibly killed her, I was that mad. My blood pressure rose to the point where my whole body was throbbing and I was sweating from the heat I was generating. I couldn't calm down or even think straight because all I could think about is choking and killing the bitch that disrespected me like that.

So I missed the first half of the movie because of my anger and hatred of a stranger. What kept me mad is the fact that I couldn't say anything back without getting on her level or without her claiming that I was attacking her since women are always the victims.

Why don't I have a device or the right to combat these people? Simply put it isn't fair that she could say what she said to me and I am not allowed to react. I was only allowed to shut up and deal with it. If I punched her in the fucking face like she deserved, I would be the bad guy and obviously get hauled off to jail for battery.

That's not fair. She can verbally abuse me and make me waste 10 bucks on a movie ticket, but I can't hurt her back.

I guess the underlying idea here is I cannot let people like that ruin my mood and it would be wrong to hurt someone physically because of something they said that hurt my ego/feelings. This is very hard for me to get used to because people like that are allowed to get away with shit like that, its not fair.
