O my gosh.
Nope, that bugs the nuts outta me too. Just flippin SLIDE over, wouldya?? And it’s not just if you’re late, we’re almost ALWAYS early, by at least 10min if not more. But people just HAVE to sit on the end…why is that!!! I have to step in a skirt and nice shoes and drag my two small children past them, and of course, they’re acting like it’s MY fault, as if I asked to sit in the middle or something…LOL. Inevitably, in their efforts to stay off the peoples feet, one of my kids loses his/her balance (they’re 4 and 2) and falls smack into their lap…was THAT what they had in mind? Is the “end seat” that important!!! Geeze – yep, that really bugs me too!
I thought we left early enough, but apparently not.
Actually it made me madder than you know what, but what good did it do? It’s not like the woman didn’t know better she teaches CCD, does me getting mad at her do anything but give me an ulcer?O my gosh.
That sounds like too simple a solution.
Can you really do that? You mean you can just sit there and not become offended?
Should the rest of us be offended about that family since you aren’t?

He wasn’t blind so I don’t think it was neccesary. Ora pro nobis!
Did he do that publicly? I think that’s just totally rude.We not only have a problem with late comers but with people leaving early. A few weeks ago our pastor asked two ladies if they had diarhea becasue they were leaving before the dissmisal.
It was funny but it does bother me when people come late, just this sunday a man came in late AND he had a dog with him!
One thing I have learned as a male, is NEVER to ask a woman about what she’s doing in the bathroom, or otherwise speculate on or joke about bathroom habits – unless I know those women pretty well and they’re used to such talk.We not only have a problem with late comers but with people leaving early. A few weeks ago our pastor asked two ladies if they had diarhea becasue they were leaving before the dissmisal.

Uh oh, once we start getting into rules about going to hell I get nervous that we are using subjective or ill-defined measures.
in all seriousness, my mom always said you had to be there for the gospel, the eucharist and the closing blessing – if you get there after the gospel, you’ve missed one of what me and my 6 brothers/sisters used to call “the big three” – not sure if it was just what she considered crucial, or if there’s a rule out there somewhere – she’s pretty by-the-book tho…
My wife uses something like that, maybe the exact same standard.
I didn’t think getting to church a couple of minutes late was a mortal sin…
It could have been a Care Dog. Care dogs do a lot of things for disabled people. It a person cannot walk very easily the care dog can get out of a car, go into a shop and hand over a little wallet containing money and a note saying something like “My master is waiting outside. Every step causes him pain. Please will you take a writing pad and a can of coca cola outside to him.” Not all disabilities are evident.We not only have a problem with late comers but with people leaving early.
