The odds of winning the lottery are less that getting hit by lightning. Every time I have to stand behind you in line while you check 20 tickets and then buy 10 more, I pray for the lightning bolt. —Just want to get on with my day

  4. It does suck, but your selfishness sucks too.. Part of shopping & living in a community is waiting in lines sometimes.. you are entitled to skip this if you own the store, until then adjust, adapt

  5. No this is annoying as fuck, It’s always a bunch of old fat fucks scratching and checking tickets while a line behind them waits to pay for gas, I had two old fat fucks in front of me a few weeks ago, they were both playing the games and one said to the other, Oh you go ahead I’m retired and the other said, Oh I’m retired too I have all the time in the world, Meanwhile we are waiting behind these old sacks of shit waiting to return to the rat race. Inconsiderate is being too fucking stupid to use a self checker for your lottery tickets… Boo Hoo… they’ve been around for what? 15 years now? I don’t give a fuck if you rejected technology in the 80’s and 90’s, LEARN!!!

  6. An “excuse me fellas.. I gotta get back to the_____. Do you mind if I cut in real quick here?” might work & may even make them smile & happy. I’ve done it successfully several times in life… I suggest speaking up in real life; it’s unlikely they’re reading this here
