Scratch Cards, I'm Sure I've Mentioned it.

Well over a year ago, I'm sure I mentioned a young lady that sold me a scratch card at the local Supermarket, it was a winner, I had won the grand total of £2.00 took the ticket to the counter and got a telling off for not scrathing off to reveal the code.
I explained to her at the time that so far as I'm concerned if it says winner and shows me the amount I've won surely she needs confirmation not me, so my dear, you scratch off the confirmation not me, (lets face it the machine won't pay out until the bar codes read anyway).

Today despite many times when I didn't win, (on those days I didn't uncover the security code, she didn't complain), I presented a winning ticket, again she started the lecture.

I stopped her dead, you've told me this before lets not go through it again, I uncovered a winner what you have to do to pay me out, I don't care.

She countered with in some places if you don't uncover the security you won't be paid out, my reply was, well when that happens here I'll use somewhere else, she uncovered the security. I will continue hoping to uncover winners until I have to be nagged at, it's not me that needs the security code, I bought the card on trust, that on revealing a win I WILL be paid, no way do I need the security code!

Do you think you might be being a little too stubborn, in the time it took to complain about why you shouldn`t have to scratch off the code, you could have scratched it off and be out the door.

That is part of the conversation I had with her, I asked her that the first time, after all she's there all the time I only win occasionally, not my problem that they have security codes.

P.S. I wasn't complaining, She was.

I know what you`re saying, the security code is for her not you, but if it`s happened before, then you know that the security code needs scratching off, so just scratch it off.

No, I buy a ticket, the rules say if I've won I've won, if she wants to see a code it's not my concern, I bought a ticket then I won.

Jesus F'ing Christ there seems to be a theme with you, if I say the sky is blue, (which I already know it isn't smart arse), you will come underneath and contradict, I'm deciding I don't like you, so try not to build too much into anything I post in 'Anything goes', thank you.

I`m not even disagreeing with you, I`m just saying life`s too short for silly arguements. If you know the woman in the shop is a bit of a jobsworth and is going to complain, then you`ve got the coin in your hand, just scratch it off.

So go into the shop and tell her, get off my back, my life is deffo too short to find your arguments of interest even though you insist on putting them forward.

You neither amuse nor entertain me.

Don`t know which shop it is and don`t buy scratchcards so i`ll leave that to you. And as you`ve started a thread on the subject, it sort of suggests you want members of this forum to comment on it. Perhaps in the future, if you don`t want certain members to comment on your threads, you could put a list of them in the first post.

Still doing it aren't you?

Well, carry on, as I have already said, if I say that's white you leap at the chance of saying it's black, nothing whatsoever to do with what I post.

Enjoy it you certainly seem to.

Of course if I was bitchy I'd mention that a PM is much different to a visitors message.

Well I am bitchy, but not because of that, however you seem to think it's something to do with hard drives, wrong again, don't even remember the conversation.

I've had a few arguments on site, then I forget them that is what the site is about, but somehow and I think it's the first time I've ever said this on site, I just don't like you, I don't know why, but there it is we'll have to learn to live with it.

Changed the visitor message to PM, and bad forum etiquette to reply to a PM in the open forum.

Had it been a PM, I wouldn't have mentioned it, but it was a visitors comment open to all to view, your mistake not mine.

Bad form to accuse someone of bad form when it wasn't their fault.

By the way, not ignoring your PM it hasn't arrived yet.
