Waiting for the Perfect Screening Moment

I used to work at a movie theater in high school. One night, this guy comes in

alone, buys a ticket for a kids movie. Nothing weird yet. But then he asks

if he can switch to a different showing, same movie, just later. I say sure.

He comes back an hour later, asks to switch again. Same movie, different time.

I'm confused but whatever. This happens four more times. Six total switches.

Same movie. He never actually goes in. Just keeps buying snacks,

sitting in the lobby, then switching his ticket. Finally, I ask him what's

going on. He looks at me dead serious and says he's waiting for the perfect moment
