    I CANNOT stand people who purchase massive amounts of lotto tickets while there is a line 10+ persons deep in a convenience store! Get a clue you morons. YOU might be happy and bs'ing with the store clerk but we are miserable and really want to dump our slurpies, coffee, and the like on your head. MOVE it moron!

    The ones scratch their tickets while everyone else is waiting torques me off.

    And then they immediately scratch it while the cashier is ringing them up, and they win $5, only to buy more lotto tickets.

    I want to double WWE slap their heads form both sides. Hooker I have seen people do what you described above. The lady in front of me this morning had ten people behind her for MINUTES while she bs'ed with the clerk, mouthed prayers toward the tickets, then looked at all of us as she exited 7-11 like we somehow were wishing her dumb rear end luck. Instead, we really wanted to slash her tires.

    Wow this is weird. I was going to start a thread about this exact same thing. My biggest convenience store pet peeve (I have several though). It really gets under my skin for some reason. Oblivous to the rest of the world. Nothing else happening on planet Earth except for their lottery tickets.

    One of my wife's girlfriends had the best line......

    She calls the lottery the "Tax on the stupid".

    Be stupid, faster.

    I have to agree with this statement. It's obvious you date smart women.

    The other day when I had to get my milk truck towed the tow driver made a comment about me chewing and that I should get rid of the bad habit. We've known each other for years. I said yeah I know I should. What I wanted to say was "why Is It your tow truck Is parked at our local Cenex every hour of the day buying lottery tickets"? He never does stand In the way though so I'll give him that. He used to park down the road farther at a local restruant but they got rid of their pull tabs so he quit going there.

    I stopped at my local gas station to get gas, was told to come inside and pay for gas because i have cash, NICE! get in there and wait 15 minutes in line to pay up front for fuel while people played lotto at the register.
    I told the attendant i would drive somewhere else from now on, :hater:

    Did you ever notice that you never stand in line behind any hot chicks in the lotto line, coincidence, I think not!
