    Woot! I ruined a christmas!!

    Last night, I ruined my very first Christmas! And the best part is, I didn't even have to DO anything but my job!

    Woman was at the blackjack table and when I got there, she informed me that I had better give her good cards, because she was going to buy Christmas presents with her winnings. (Never mind that it was the 22nd of December at this point and so she should have done that already.)

    Well, I didn't. Give her good cards, that is. So go the whims of the shuffling machine fairies. And as the last of her money disappeared into my float, she angrily informed me that I had ruined her Christmas, and her kids' Christmas. I don't think she was very impressed with my lack of sympathy - I just shrugged, and said nothing.

    Moral: If you're stupid enough to leave shopping to the last minute, then gamble away the money you were supposed to shop with, who REALLY ruined Christmas? Protip - it wasn't me.
    Now, I'd like to digress from my prepared remarks to discuss how I invented the terlet...

    The money she gambled with could have been used to buy her family Christmas presents. Didn't that even enter her mind?

      Come on now, Bright_Star, that sounds suspiciously like logic. What have you been told about logic? It has NO PLACE on this forum. Shame on you.

      Now, I'd like to digress from my prepared remarks to discuss how I invented the terlet...

        The moron probably thought, "Instead of buying some second rate items for Christmas, I'll win big, buy big. Everyone wins!" Though I bet she has no one in her life and just wanted to buy a Lexus or a trip to Hawaii with her fabled winnings.
        Time! Time! Time is what turns kittens into cats.

        Don't teach me a lesson; all I learn is that you are an asshole.

        I wish porn had subtitles.

          Congratulations! (What exactly did she expect you to do after you didn't give her good cards ... fork over a hefty bundle of cash anyway, just so her alleged kids could have a nice Christmas?? Or is that a stupid question ...)

            I'll have my own Christmas with blackjack and hookers! In fact, forget the blackjack!

              What would be awesome is to wear a pin (while working) that reads "Number of Christmases Ruined" along with an assortment of tallies on it.

                I've been working for over 26 years, mostly in the food service industry, and somehow, despite all I've done (and I've done quite a lot), I still haven't ruined anyone's Christmas. Damn it! I feel so lacking, as if I haven't done enough.

                Well, I still have two work days in which I can ruin someone's Christmas, as I work the day shift tomorrow and Tuesday. With any luck, I won't get the usual array of pleasant and happy people that I seem to get in The Bar on Christmas Eve and Christmas, but some idiotic braindead troll who does, says, or plans something utterly stupid that I somehow point out or thwart, thus ruining their entire holiday season.

                  Indeed. And I somehow don't think her family will be too keen on that excuse when Christmas comes and the stockings are empty.

                  I don't think it could've entered her mind, seeing as you have to have a mind for something to enter it...
                  I don't have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem.

                    Yes, Jester, but you ruin people's vacations all the time when you won't sell them refreshing alcoholic beverages because they don't have their ID, or otherwise pop their self-important little bubbles by being completely unimpressed at their self-described magnificence.

                    So it balances out.

                      Actually, no one's ever told me that I've "ruined" their vacation. So I am still batting .000 on that count.

                        I feel like it's just a lack of commitment on your part, and I'm sorely disappointed. Perhaps you could make it a New Year's resolution to try harder.

                          If you like next December we can swing down to the keys, head in to the bar and I can order a virgin drink of some sort so you can dis me and i can act bent out of shape and claim you ruined our Christmas if that would help?

                            While I appreciate the offer, it's just not the same. It's like a pitcher grooving a gopher ball in to allow a hitter a home run for some record. It's just not as valid as having it happen for real.

                            (For football fans, this would be the equivalent of Brett Favre's gift sack to Michael Strahan years ago to give Strahan the single season sacks record.)

                            So, thank you, but no.

                              High five, you ruined a SC's Christmas! Well done.
