Do you have bad luck when it comes to the ladies and can't understand why? You're good-looking, funny, employed. So why can't women stand to be around you?

4. Refusing to dance when sober ... then refusing to leave the dance floor when drunk.

It's Friday -- which means new movies are opening. And if you're someone who likes to go the movies often, you know that despite the huge screen and astonishing surround sound, the theater can be one of the most annoying places to be for two hours -- thanks to the nine most obnoxious moviegoers ...

9. The frequent urinator who sits in the middle of the row and gets up 10 times during the movie.

8. The seven-foot giant or big-haired Bertha. Yep, they will choose the seat right in front of you.

7. The lovebirds making out behind you -- making the kissing noises and kicking the back of your seat.

6. The loud laugher. Whether he/she laughs at the appropriate time -- or an inappropriate time -- their laugh is loud and annoying.

5. The loud eaters shoveling handfuls of popcorn into their mouths, crinkling bags, chomping on candy, and sucking loudly on straws.

4. The critic, who instead of just sitting and watching the movie, has to get all Roger Ebert on everyone.

3. The echo guy -- he feels compelled to repeat every line spoken in the film.

2. The terrible toddler. Whose bright idea was it to bring the kid to the non-G-rated movie?

1. Cell phone girl. She apparently missed the announcement asking that phones be turned off and was absent the day they taught manners, so little miss chatty chatterbox talks through the whole movie.

WORLD VIEW: No Bars Or Mistresses For Chinese Officials

As part of the Communist party's efforts to clamp down on the corruption that is threatening its power, Chinese government officials are being told to dump their mistresses and avoid bars.

The crackdown is occurring because an internal survey found that 95 percent of China's government officials investigated for corruption were found to be keeping mistresses.

And, according to Communist enforcer Qi Peiwen, it all comes down to money.

"It's just not possible to keep a mistress on your salary because maintaining this sort of extravagant lifestyle requires a large amount of cash money," he said. "So what do you do if you don't have the money? Naturally, you'll use the power at your disposal to go find some."
