Door #1 or Door #2?

Last year some Unionville friends of mine went to the wrong church in New Jersey for a relative's wedding. They realized their error when (a) they recognized no one in the church and (b) they received an anxious text asking where they were. (They claim there are two churches in the town named after the same saint.)
But I'm seeing a pattern here. The other night the same family went to the movies intending to see "American Hustler" but instead walked into the auditorium where "Wolf of Wall Street" was showing. The raunchy opening scene (the first of very many) clued them in to their mistake. Though they were fairly disgusted by the lurid depiction of the characters' bad behavior ("10 years ago this would've been considered porn!"), they stayed until the end anyway. The following night they went back to see "American Hustler" -- and made sure they chose the right venue.
