There's a chance that the last-laugh ball might be back in Val's court. That Val is serving up a heapin' helpin' cold dish of revenge!
Remember yesterday, when I told of White Truck Dude sitting in my rightful handicap space outside the Gas Station Chicken Store, bloviating with an old man in a red truck? And how he drove away when I pulled in behind him, signifying that his business was already done there?
I hope he bought these two tickets:
That's the $3 Christmas ticket that I buy every day at the Gas Station Chicken Store. This is one that I bought on Thursday after regaining my rightful handicap parking space. It won $60!
This is the $10 ticket I also bought that day. It won $100!
I know White Truck Dude buys scratchers there. Also, I've seen him buy these two tickets. I don't know if he buys the same ones every day. Wouldn't it be great if he DID? And if his purchase that day had set me up for these two winners? That's $160 that I got, and he didn't!
I'm going to pretend that's how it happened. The chortle is starting again.
I will pretend along with you.
ReplyDeleteThe more, the merrier! It's glorious, savoring possible revenge.
DeleteIf only you could somehow collect while he is in line. "I just bought them yesterday at Blankety blank o'clock! Would have bought them earlier but my handicap space was taken!"
ReplyDeleteI wish! Sadly, White Truck Dude was not there when I cashed them in the next day. But he WAS there today, and actually in line behind me after filling in his draw ticket numbers on a slip. Then he jumped over to the side to talk loudly to another guy, and Fave couldn't even hear what tickets I asked for.
DeleteOf course he was parked in the handicap space again. From what I gather from his loud conversations, he might work for the fire department. I wonder how they would feel about him parking in that handicap space. Maybe I might fall in front of his truck, and they'd have to come rescue me!
That is great! You sure are lucky.
ReplyDeleteI have winning and not-winning streaks, but overall, I seem to be luckier than anybody else I know who buys scratchers.
DeleteI hope your winning tickets meant no wins for him too. If you fell in front of his truck he'd back out real quick and park somewhere else just so he wouldn't get into any trouble. He seems that sort of person.
ReplyDeleteHe can't back out if T-Hoe is parked behind him close enough! I don't think he'd park elsewhere, either. He'd just leave me lying there and take off.
