WHAT?

Went to the movies tonight and they asked us where we wanted to sit, in the back or more towards the middle.  I thought, wow, there must be different prices depending on where you want to sit.  No....they have assigned seating in the movie theater.  Worse than that is that people actually sit in their assigned seats.  Even if there are whole rows empty they will come and sit right next to you because that's their assigned seat.  UNBELIEVABLE!  You would have thought that the Germans got tired of people telling them what to do 50 years ago.  The good news is that they serve alcohol in the movie theatre so all is not lost if the movie is really bad.

I know I told most of you this one but for those that I didn't, here you go.  Our land lady told me the electrician needed to come over to fix the hood/exhaust over the stove.  Not sure what could be wrong with it, because the house is brand new but okay.  For 3 hours the guy is here.  When they are all done they want to show me what the fix was.  Apparently there is a law now in Germany for all brand new homes that says: if you turn your fan on over the stove then you must open a window so that you don't suck all the oxygen out of the house.  The hood now has a sensor as well as my kitchen window.  The exhaust now does not turn on unless I go over and open the window.  Just writing it I'm laughing.  I guess if this is true then I should limit the number of guests that I allow in before opening the windows.  I don't want them breathing up all the oxygen.  Did I mention next week they are coming to install one for the fireplace?  The same is true for fire.  Since fire takes oxygen to burn then we will need to open a window before the glass will open on the fireplace.  Don't want the fire sucking up all the oxygen and killing us all.  I guess there must have been a HUGE epidemic of people dying from their range hoods sucking all the oxygen out of their houses and they suffocated.  Going to Google it right now!
