Talk About an Exciting Life!

Scene: the Parking Lot of Albertsons

Stranger: "Would you like my Game Ticket?" (Albertsons is currently running a contest, and you get game tickets when you buy groceries)

Me: "Sure!"

Stranger: "I'm not playing their game, and you seemed genuinely excited when the cashier gave you your ticket"

Me: "I'm off to kill myself now"

While it may have made your day -(and I am secretly jealous) - it is kind of sad that our lives are so pathetic. . .

Hahaha. I actually laughed out loud reading that.

who will be laughing last when you win millions...or $10 in groceries (all Albies brands???)

Laurie said...

take THAT, laughers!

My local grocery (Albertsons owned) is having the contest too and I have several game pieces already. Will send them to you but not sure If Albertsons will take pieces with Acme written on them.

Will ask when next at grocery if they are transferable.
Not quite sure what it is all about but have been collecting the pieces.

Love that you were "genuinely excited" to get your ticket. I think we should all be genuinely excited about things. For instance, I am genuinely excited that we only have 6.5 days of school left...

Sandra, that's so sweet of you! But I doubt the Acme ones will work here (and I feel like it's even more pathetic for people to be mailing me Albertson's game tickets, bad enough that strangers at the store think I need them lol).

P, I'm excited for you that school's almost out!

Laurie,

I LOVE collecting this stuff and do get excited when I receive them but never seem to get around to cashing them in. So if anyone can use them, just say so.

Checked and they are not transferable even though it is the same store family.
