New Year, New Madness?

Well, i was just informed this evening that my Mother in-law has reached a new low (or high?). Apparently she and her better half had spent the last few days in Laughlin Nevada, Gambling, etc..

I guess she pulled in a pretty good take, something like she went there with $300, and came back with $1300. That's pretty serious when you consider that I NEVER win anything, so walking away with 1k is a pretty nice trip.

She HAD almost 2k i guess, but she was working at a table or machine(i have not had the details), but she made around $600, and went to cash it at the electronic changer, instead of the actual "cage". She proceeded to feed her stuff in, and it stopped working (in her words), so she leaves to get someone to help her. She comes back, demanding that they make it "work". Well i guess she just wasn't patient enough, because the person who was waiting behind her collected the $500 she could not wait for. The machine was re-queing itself i suppose, and she freaked.

What a shitty way to lose $500! I can think of many other ways that are much more physically damaging!

Anyway, it's just a hoot.

Yes, but this is typical behavior for her. This should not be a shock to anyone who has spent more than 5 minutes around her. Patience is a virtue, and she has neither - patience nor any virtues.
