Everyone has different priorities, especially this guy

Climate change ? Pah. Donald Trump ? Pffft. North Korea ? Oh, please. No, the real threat to civilisation we should be worried about is, apparently, texting in the cinema.

A Texas man has filed a lawsuit against a woman for the cost of a movie ticket after she texted during their cinema date. Brandon Vezmar, 37, said the woman walked out of the screening of Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2 when he complained about her persistent phone use. Mr Vezmar filed the petition in the state capital of Austin last week seeking $17.31 (£13.30), arguing his date's behaviour was "a threat to civilised society".

Mad as clams, the lot of 'em. Especially the cinema that charges $17 for a ticket.

    I can tell you which of those two I consider to be a threat to civilization.

    Dogmatic Pyrrhonist​ maybe if he hadn't been such a tool, she wouldn't have spent so much time texting
