To all you rude-ass lottery players, I’m sick of you coming over and throwing your tickets at me, expecting me to check them. It’s bad enough that you’re wasting all of your money on lotto, but at least be pleasant about it. It’s not my fault that you’ve chosen to spend your life savings on the likes of 6 49. Also, if there’s a line-up of customers I’m not going to stand there and continuously sell you $0.50 scratch tickets and then check them for you. Who do you think you are? I get SO MUCH satisfaction out of that loser chime. You know why you keep losing? Karma. Now go invest in the stock market or buy yourself a coffee. —You’re All Losers

Agreed. It pisses me off when I have to stand behind someone in line and wait until they scan 20 lottery losers because they are too fucking lazy to match the numbers themselves. Then they whip out their lottery “folder” and begin to order 20 more tickets (that will undoubtedly be losers as well) with a bunch of add-on shit like tag and twist, then hum and haw over which scratch tickets they will buy, and which particular ticket in the bunch they want. Fuck off and let me pay for my gas Already!!!
there was an annoying incident recently when someone I know bought tickets for a lottery pool at her work…
people scoffing in the background was fucking annoying and the comments of ‘glad I didn’t get ice cream’ were almost enough to get me started.
it was a one time buy of 120 bucks worth of tickets…
fucking deal with it.
Not to mention the vendor would make a half million buck if he sold a winner… so he’s on my side.
pretentious fucks.
buying one at a time is not the same as purchasing them all in one shot.
I hate the lotto people that think they are always at the front of the line! Right on OB! Buy your shit and get to the fucking back of the line!!
Off topic.
dartmouthy, I look at your avatar here and see a red background, an arm and a head.
When I click on it, it’s a tanker nursing some trucks. What you do, to do that?
There’s a delay in the upload. It will go back to a previous pic.
Yes it sure does suck to get caught in the crossfire of someone’s habit ;D
Hi Puss-N-Boots, nope it was the same way last night, and still is. (I look at everybodys avatar when they change 😉
Fucking bitches at Lawtons will buy 40 scratch tickets and stand at the desk scratching them. Nothing better to do I guess. Whatevs.
HAHA when I was a cashier wayyy back in the day and I sold lotto tickets, we’d have people coming in and buying the scratch tickets and not actually scratching them — they’d just pay, scratch off the validation code and have me scan them. HAHAH.
And this one bitch used to buy the breakopens and stay at the counter and open them and not move aside. Everyone else would put up with her shit even when it was almost closing and only one cashier was on and there were 5-6 people in line, except me. I always got the next person in line to come up to the front and she’d get crowded out and get the point.
Sometimes we’d run out and when she came in and we said “no, we don’t have any break opens left” she’d go all ballistic and insist we check the drawer which was already checked. When we say there are no break opens THERE ARE NO FUCKING BREAK OPENS. I’d always refuse to check the drawer too because we do lotto counts so I know what’s there and what’s not. One time she tried to lean over the counter and open the drawer to see for herself.
Just move the fuck aside and let the others pay for their shit.
Nothing more infuriating than people who buy their scratch tickets/break opens and scratch them at the cash. STEP ASIDE, FUCKWADS.
You know you have gambling issues when….
OH and then there are the people who wait till the very last minute to buy their 6 49 tickets and bitch at us because the line ups were long and they didn’t get to the cash before 9pm and OMG THEY WERE GONNA WIN YOU KNOW AND NOW WE’VE RUINED EVERYTHING FOR THEM.
Here’s an idea: go to the store and buy your lottery ticket EARLIER and you wouldn’t create this problem for yourself.
But, pk, didn’t you know? The 9 o’clock tickets are always the bestest winners, that’s true
“One time she tried to lean over the counter and open the drawer to see for herself. “
Push her back and then scream ROBBERY! Bet she won’t try that again hahaha!
Sloooow delay……. well then, as you were:)
Mmmm, might be time to change mine. It is a new year after all.
I kinda felt sorry for her, sodey. She was generally a nice lady when I’d see her around town and she had this sad look about her. It’s just when it came to her break open tickets…. Scary.
OP, here here! People who buy those lottery tickets have little to no chance of ever winning. I don’t understand why they are wasting all that money. They’d be far better off playing the stocks markets.
Hey Hugo,
The oil tanker pic is my coast profile picture, but i signed in once with my facebook credentials, and now it is the way it is… its wierd
you could say ” If you are just gonna stand there, then let me help you scratch so that we can keep this line moving faster”
The way the stock markets are going these days, you’re probably going to have a better chance winning the lotto than making money off the stock market.
Your probably not going to have anything of value left in RRSP’s if the economies of the world carry on devaluing everything either !
I love the comment I seen the other day on an investment page i go to.
IT was from a Chinese member of the Gov. or banking institution who was replying to Ben Bernake’s disparaging remarks about China’s record gold buying & how you can’t eat gold.
His comment was, well no, we know that, but we can eat the things gold will buy .
~:)
6000 years of history in fiat currency’s & golds value cannot be wrong IMO.
