The Stupidest Thing That Has Been Said When You Have Bought Something at a Games Store.

[Bat Vader]

I see, How old are you than? Most witty people I know are my age which is 21.

"Birthdate:
December 4, 1992"
Your reaction is pretty common, though.

Back when I used to hide my age, most people took me to be roughly 25 or so.

You would be 15 or 16 than. I take it your are the wittiest person in your high school? Do you make up remarks quickly or think for awhile to come up with one?

Well I wasnt actually involved in this one but I once witnessed the most unbelievable of things.

So I'm just looking around at games in EBGames, not really paying attentin to anything in particular. So out of the corner of my eye I see two 10 year old boys run into the store. They immediately set their eyes on Gears 2 and rush up to the store clerk to buy it. He promptly denies them and sends them on their way. Enraged, the two leave. A couple minutes later they come back with their mom, furious that the clerk wouldnt let her sons purchase this game. The clerk explains to her that this is one of the most gruesome games around, shows her the long list of reasons why it's rated mature in big bold print on both sides of the case; her response: an open mouthed gawk for about 20 seconds and then she whips out her purse to buy it. The clerk -trying not to destroy the poor kids minds - tells the woman that you can chainsaw people in half, blow then to pieces in a numberly of different ways, and it is extremely gory. More open mouthed gawking follows. Her kids now have wandered off and are pretty much causing general trouble around the store. By now a crowd has gathered as this woman is trying her damndest against all of the clerks attempts to stop her to get this game for her. This type of thing continued for a while and the kids even tried to pick up a copy of GTA IV after their first game choice fails. Eventually the clerk pretty much had to forcively emove the kids and their utterly moronic mom from the store before he snapped. I'm 17, but this strange urge had come over me to buy Pikmin, so a few seconds after this woman gets booted from the store I show up at the counter and the clerk just starts laughing like crazy in my face. I think I pretty much made his day.

I know the whole "stupid parents" thing has been done to death already but I just had to get that out there.

Well, I am homeschooled now, but I was probably the wittiest person in my high school.
That isn't really an accomplishment, though.

But yeah, I'm 16, and I am remarkably quick on my feet.
I think it comes from a veritable lifetime of having to lie to my principals to avoid being expelled.
You learn to think fast when you only have a few seconds to come up with a story.

However, if I have more time, I can do better, obviously.

That's how I write stories - I come up with an idea, then I just let my brain add parts and dialog to it over time.
Then I scrawl it all down.

I had a feeling you were the bad boy in school. I also take it you were expelled as well. Have you published any stories as of yet?

Yes... He was expelled. He's not home-schooled due to an act of weakness.
No siree...
Max, I know you're reading this.

 

[Bunnybeater]

A lot of you people are assholes to clerks.. fucking man up.

I concur.

Mine however was just the usual oh my god! a girl knows about videogames?

Get's old real quick huh?

very quick. luckily the usual game store i go to, all the guys know me and half of them have known me for years so i rarely get that anymore.

I was expelled once, yes.
I was suspended for about nine weeks in 7th grade, as well.

Had to go to an alt school. Lots of fun. Lots of druggies, though.

But no, being homeschooled was due to an injury I sustained that made it impossible to get across the huge campus in the five allotted minutes.

That sucks man. I am guessing you pry lost a leg or have a permanent limp. How is it you became a gamer? Most people as witty as you usually are the people who hate gamers.

Think I've already done that one.
Ain't it passed your bed time young'n.

On a side note, I don't mind kids playing most FPS. But games like GTA seems to cross the line.

Man, I hate FPSes.
I love GTA though.

Mmm...vehicular manslaughter.

And no, it is not.
I'm nocturnal, you know.

@16 most kids have a grip, but giving GTA to a seven year old is plain wrong. "Here you go kid, play with your drugs and hookers"

you never played drugs and hookers as a kid? :O great fun!

This JUST happened like a week or two ago. I walk into a game stop, see at most a 12 year old kid with his younger brother. He is asking for GTA4 (I think? I'm pretty sure, but the points is the game is rated M) and the guy is like, I can't give you this game, you're going to have to have a parent. He's like "But she gave me her credit card and her ID" and he shows them to the clerk. He says again, the parent has to come in, and then the kid tells the clerk his mom is going to be mad. The employee, clearly ignorant of the state of parents, says the kid's mom isn't going to be mad at HIM, the employee, and the kid walks out. The mom, in typical awful parent style, was waiting in front of the store in a huge SUV with the engine running as if she couldn't see there was a line, walks out, says the store will be responsible if she gets a ticket for parking there, says her son is an adult and can buy whatever game he wants, and then proceeds to ask her son which credit card she gave him. As if this wasn't enough, she then is about to walk out the door when the employee says he has to actually hand her the game because he's not allowed to give it to a minor, she turns back around, says "I don't give a fuck what you're supposed to do," snatches the game out of his hand, and storms out of the store.

Possibly one of the most disturbing displays of anything I've ever seen. That was a scary person and I hope to never see her again.

I twisted my ankle so badly that it broke, actually.
The little piece on the inside snapped off.

I dunno. I probably became a gamer because it's just too hot to do anything else in Florida, unless you're part of the competitive melting team or whatever.

I actually thought it was David Bowie.

...
Well alrighty then.

The witty people were usually the jocks, they were assholes to geeks and gamers. It was funny when they tried to run for student council they were all nice to us but when elections were over they went back to teasing us. Whenever they asked us if we would vote for them we told them to fuck off.

They were also die hard pep assembly fans as well. I told them once that the only reason they think they have support at the pep assembly is because people are forced to go and if we weren't forced to go they would see how many people actually supported them. It was less than 20.

Nice wall of text, but I feel reading it was worth it ^.^ I've worked at McDonalds before, and although it's not the same working environment, I've had the arguments with the completely retarded customers (which you can't really win, as hard as you try, because they just call the manager...), then the next person comes along and says something along the lines of "geez, what an ass" and orders something really simple, having waited for ages. It just makes you laugh People like that always got extra topping and a cup filled to the brim
