“Mom, I asked for a Nintendo DS, not a pretendo POS! I hate you!”
At this one job I had:
there was this lady who had a little handheld video poker game that she would play all day long. (It was the sort of job where you could do that. For my part, I did a lot of writing and a fair amount of drawing.)
So she’d be playing and playing, hand after hand, and every once in a while things would be going really well and you’d hear her stand up and tell a neighbor about how much she won.
And if she had a really bad run, man, she’d curse a blue streak. I’ve never seen someone more angry at a fake gambling game. “Fuck,” she would hiss, “you fucking shithole. Fuck!”
