Shut the hell up!


Gamblers are superstitious. Ya' think? Yeah, it's true. Trust me on this.
Yesterday, while sitting at my favorite Keno machine there was this super drunk guy and his super drunk wife and guess who they sat next to??? You guessed it...me. Oh damn! Why me? The casino is my therapy. My escape, my time to regroup and reflect.
How did I know they were super drunk? Because I could hear the drunk man about 3 rooms away.
They usually kick the stinkin' drunks out and how this guy slipped by makes me wonder if anyone is doing their job. I got stopped at the door and refused to come in because I had on a backpack purse and no backpacks are allowed. I gave them my backpack purse and told them if they found a book, pen or piece of paper in my "backpack" they could kick me out. All they saw was a wallet, make-up bag and a tampon. I got in.
Anyway, I was playing and minding my own business and everytime I would push the button he would say quite loudly:
"ohh she's going to win 7 million dollars"
"WOW she has 80 thousand dollars"
Can you believe she can win 38 hundred dollars"
"Look honey - we can win 54 million dollars"
OK asshole...the only way you can win 80 thousand dollars, 38 hundred dollars or 54 million dollars is if you are betting thousands of dollars everytime you push the button and I don't think you can ever win a million dollars on any machine in the casino. I was getting SO sick of hearing him. Didn't you ever talk so much that you got sick of hearing your own voice?
He didn't know what he was doing but kept winning at his machine. So, not only was I getting mad at him for watching me play and making comments with his beer stinkin' breath but I was jealous because he was winning more than I was.
Yes, I did it...I told him to shut up. He didn't like that too much and his wife looked at me like I was crazy but I didn't care and after that he kept on talking. I got up to leave and the lady next to me said "that was uncalled for." HA!
