You ever noticed these folks at convenience stores or gas stations who for some reason, decided to treat the counter as their own personal scratch-off sanctuary? They waddle up to the counter, ask for a ton of scratch offs, holding them like they're holding keys to the goddamn kingdom, completely oblivious to the fact that there's a line forming behind them longer than certain receipts. They stand there, their eyes glazed over, scratching away at their tickets as if they're uncovering the secrets of the fucking universe. Meanwhile, the rest of us poor fucks are tapping our feet, checking our watches or whatever, and mentally burning a hole in the back of that stupid dipshit's skull with our glare of discontent. And now the rest of the store's gonna be late for whatever else we gotta do because of this pathetic lotto-loving cunt can't get enough of their fucking gambling fix. Not only the scratching's the issue, but the buying process also. These fuckheads have to analyze every single scratch off like their SATs. “Do I want the Lucky Sevens or the Instant Cash Explosions?” Dude, you're not choosing a fine wine! It's a stupid piece of cardboard with a one and a million fucking chance of making you rich. But the real annoyance is when they win a few dollars and decide to reinvest their newfound fortune right then and there, the cycle of capitalism bullshit continues with the line growing longer and our collective patience wearing thinner than our collective sanity. Like, seriously. Can't you take your scratch-off addiction elsewhere, like by the sidewalk? Or maybe, invest in some self-control or common courtesy by buying your stupid goddamn tickets without people in the fucking line! But instead, we're stuck behind those dumbasses, watching as they fumble with their coins and debate whether to go for gold or double down on their losses. And for those lotto-lovers out there, you should scratch your tickets in the comfort of your own home and let the rest of us get on with our day without having to wait for your bullshit!
