"They ended up standing up, yelling at me, and then storming out."
Unbelievable. That would ruin my day.
To be treated like that by a friend would upset me, man. I admire your composure.
I am really starting to hate that exhibit, and I don't even know what it is lol.
Well it did kind of put me in a bad mood. So I got home and wrote down a letter about it and sent it to them. We were able to come to an understanding. I think that sometimes people perceive things strangely. They still want me to go to the exhibit. Honestly I'm kind of curious why they keep pushing. Maybe there's something amazing out there.
Or maybe it's some kind of secret society, like "Eyes Wide Shut," where suddenly you realize YOU are the real exhibit!
There's a superb little known horror movie, called "Society," by Brian Yuzna, on a similar theme. That one is even more creepy lol.
I'm sure your friend just wants to share something they care about, and just got a little pushy and entitled. I guess we all do that from time to time. :)
