I stopped at the corner gas station for ice yesterday. As I walked up, there was a respectable-looking, middle-aged man scratching off his long strip of lotto tix before getting into his car. I went inside and got in the long line. The man followed and got in line behind me. Man, we waited forever. I paid, got my ice, walked out and he was standing in front of his car again, scratching off the lotto tix he'd just bought. What is with people?
