Lottery addicts.

[Cuban_Liberal]

Illinois has a state-run lottery, and it seems like every convenience store, liquor store, etc., sells tickets. I'm starting to get extremely annoyed by the oblivious addicts who hold up the checkout lines while they check their seemingly endless supply of scratchoff tickets, Mega Lotto, Little Lotto, regular Lotto, Pick 3 and Pick 4 tickets for 'winners'. Hey, you clueless FUCK--- I'm standing here with a half-gallon of melting orange sherbert while you indulge your gambling habit!

GET HELP!

:argh::grr::nuke:

1. Annoyed kick.

:P

[asthmaticeog]

2. I'm more into bingo, myself.

16. How do you make a little old lady

yell "FUCK!"?

Call out "Bingo!"

[ScreamingMeemie]

3. I cannot stand people who buy scratch offs and then sit there at the

counter scratching them off to trade for more. I cannot stand clerks who do not shove them out of the way to wait on somebody else. aGGRRRReeeement here. :hi: :nuke:

4. Thank you.

I was ready to smack the clerk who was letting him do it, too.

:hi:

5. Well my first thought is: mmmm orange sherbet.

And my second one is that you should mumble something ominous in Latin behind them.

6. Maybe wear my sunglasses, and clean my fingernails with a knife?

:evilgrin:

[nuxvomica]

9. LOL. That'll make'em stop to consider how lucky they are feeling.

You could cure 'em. :-)

to know how to scare the populace... ;)

7. Oh please

I get annoyed waiting on slow clerks to find that "right" pack of cigarettes for the smokers too, or people that pay with credit cards, or want a reciept, or buy money orders.

Its a convenience store, comes with the territory.

Everybody has to wait.

8. I call the "Scratcher whores".

They stand at the counter and take their time deciding what ticket will get them the double wide they've always wanted.
Irritating as hell!

10. Honest to God, I actually was in line behind a guy

who asked the clerk for tickets for a particular scratch-off ticket lottery game, then said "No, wait a minute, give me tickets for that other one instead. The first one's too complicated."

That's right, folks. He felt that a game where all you have to do is rub some silver gunk off a card with the edge of a nickel was too complicated.

Suppose he voted for bushyboy?

11. We have separate lines for lottery here.

I get pissed off at the old ladies who play 1000 different numbers a night. If you have all that fucking money for lottery tickets why the hell are you even playing?

[bigwillq]

12. I wish they had that in CT

separate lines. I can't fucking stand waiting in line for 15 fucking minutes just to buy smokes or pay for gas because some fucking asshole wants to buy 2,000 tickets.:grr:

[tigereye]

14. what I always want to tell them

is to save their money each week instead and then they would actually have something to spend. At least that's what I tell my son when he wonders what people are doing.

15. Not much of a problem here in the city

Maybe the stores just planned it better, but they have separate lines for Lotto in most of the stores, even the convenience stores.

I think it may even be a city law or statute that the Lotto machines have separate lines and a separate cash register <though I'm not positive, so don't quote me on that>. Either way, I never have had to wait for Lotto customers to purchase my PMS needs. ;-)
