"Oh you are so grounded young lady!"

Imagine this. You're a teenage girl. You're entering a movie theatre with your mom and your sister, when the theatre nazis decide they want to search your purses for anything that could be used to record the movie. They find no such devices. They find imported snacks, which they request you take out of the theatre - which you do. But they keep rifling through your purse and pull out........ your birth control pills. BUSTED! Mom is shocked. She didn't even know you were on birth control. God damned theatre nazis! Let's sue them mom!

Which they did. Asking for $60,000 in damages. They got $10,000.

The moral of the story is.... if your policy is to inspect the contents of customers' bags, they have to know at or before point of purchase and you are not allowed to put your hand inside their bags. Or it'll cost ya. Theatre spokespeople said you should leave your purses in your car. Yeah... there's a safe proposition. Calling all criminals!

No word on whether pill-poppin' daughter is grounded.
