Its been Quite a Weekend...

[Amina516]

So...In celebration of my birthday/college graduation weekend, I went to Atlantic City, NJ with a cousin and an aunt. We had fun in our own little way. I have a whole family rant on that, but will save that part for off topic.

Anywho, several incidents which I will number and share with you all.

Incident the 1st: In the casino

Im sitting at a machine, playing some slots. Some lady comes and stands behind me.

Lady: Is that the only machine like that one here?
Me: I dont know. Its my first day here.
Lady: Well, where do u think another one would be?
Me: I dont know, like i said.
Lady*stares*
Me*stares and slowly turns around*
Lady: *stands there*
Me: *playing slots*
Lady: Are you going to be long?
Me: Yes. Extremely long.
Lady: Well...
Me: Go away. Im serious.
Lady: *shock* *finally walks away*

Incident the 2nd: Also In the Casino

Also playing slots. My cousin was getting pretty good money on the slots. Once she would hit around a couple hundred dollars, she would cash out and put in another $10 or so. In the midst of one of these cycles, someone walks up to us.

Random Person: Wow. A couple hundred. That's great.
Cousin: Thanks.
RP: Can I play?
C: Can you play what?
RP: Can I play this machine youre on?
C: No. Im still here. Maybe when I leave.
RP: But why the hell not? Youre winning, I want to win!
C: Seriously? Im on this machine and Im not moving.
RP: YOURE RIDICULOUS!! *walks away*

This conversation took place in the midst of slot machine haven with probably hundred of slot machines available. lol. they were trying to steal my cousins luck, I think.



Incident the 3rd: On the boardwalk.

This may be one of the most entitled people Ive ever seen.

Were walking along the boardwalk and anyone who has been there before knows that theres a BUNCH of shops that sell random shirts, towels and hooded sweatshirts all the way up and down the boardwalk.

This poor guy in a Black hooded sweatshirt that said "LIFEGUARD" with the corresponding cross in red. He's minding his own business with what looks like his girlfriend when he's approached by another person walking down the boardwalk.

Random Person: Hey. I got a question for ya.
Hoodie Guy: Ummm..ok.
Random Person: What do those signs on the beach mean ?
Hoodie Guy: I dont know what youre talking about?
Random Person: The SIGNS on the BEACH. The ones that say unprotected beach and all that.
Hoodie Guy: Look, Ive never been down to the beach, I just got here so I have no idea what youre talking about.
Random Person: WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU? Youre a lifeguard and you dont know shit about the beach!!
Hoodie Guy: What the hell are you talking about ?? Im not a lifeguard. I dont work or live here.
Random Person: YOU SHOULDNT BE ALLOWED TO WEAR THAT SWEATSHIRT THEN! YOURE A DISGRACE TO LIFEGUARDS EVERYONE.
Hoodie Guy: Hey douchebag. look behind you. they sell these sweatshirts everywhere. Get a fuckin life, you asshole *walks away*

Everyone in the immediate vicinity broke out in laughter. And the Random Person blushed and walked away with his head down.

THANK GOD there werent anymore sighting than that. My head might've exploded.

Hoo boy. I'm going there in July for my 21st birthday. I think I'm a bit scared now.

I've never had an experience like that in Vegas. Then again, I'm a Blackjack player, because slots are too much SRS BSNS for me.

I'm sorry you ran into those douches.

...They guy with the life guard thing... I can kinda understand.
I mean he did go way over board with the whole "Your a disgrace and all" But still.. most people when they go to a beach or something kinda expect someone wearing a "Lifeguard" logo, to well.... you know... actually be a lifeguard...
Most likely he was embarrassed that he was wrong, so he had to be "NOT WRONG!" and went a bit crazy.

I guess you have a point, though it was made better by the fact that the hoodie guy was standing IN FRONT OF a store that had these hanging all over the window in multiple colors. .

All the SC had to do was apologize or even just walk away..instead he was a douche.

Huh. So what it says on your clothes means...ahhhhhh...

As we speak, I'm Sharpie-ing "DEPOSITS-ONLY TELLER" onto an old Tee and planning an itinerary of all of the local banks.

Let's see how this goes.

By the by, "Unprotected Beach" means there are no lifeguards on duty on that stretch of beach. I was a summer camp lifeguard, but we had to learn some beach skills for the certification.
