Stupid people should be banned from scratch cards and lottery tickets. There was this dick of a woman who came into the co-op I worked in last summer and spent 50 on scratch cards every morning. On top of these she would take about 5 minutes deciding which ones she wanted (1-12 people, it doesn't make a difference). She'd then put 2 on her gas and leccy respectively. anyway, at the end of the week she'd come in, chiffed as fuck, as she'd won about 120 through scratch cards. I'd then have go through them all and add up all her winnings AND give her it in specific denominations of money. It upset me how stupid she was. I once tried to point out that from an economic perspective, it made absolutely no sense. She then commented on how I was smarmy and "born with a silver spoon in my mouth" (I'd mentioned I was from Banchory) every time she came in. EDIT: Everything about Big Brother makes me sad.
