What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

Has anyone ever had this happened to you? I visit Best Buy and notice how no one is playing donkey kong country wii. So I walk over to it at first I thought the wii was messed up or broken. Nope there was nothing wrong just stuck in map view mode. Once I figured out the controls I started to play it for the first time. Then all of sudden this 8 or 10 yr old Asian kid comes closer to me and wants to play NOW!. I told him he would have to wait his turn. He kept on bugging me more. kid:"let me play" over over. He didn't know how to play game. He tried to snatch the controller off my hands or make me lose on purpose. So I left the scene, brat. I went to check out the games. A few minutes later her mom came out yelling at him for disappearing from her site. This DKC was meant for challenging super players not for 8 or 10 yr old.

Something like that happened to me while I was playing Guitar Hero 5 or 6 in best buy. This kid wanted to play and I told him when I was done with this song he could. In the middle of my 200+ note streak, he slams his hand against the fretboard, putting me in the yellow zone. By the time I pause and turn around, he left with his parents.

I had something like that happen to me about 2 years ago at a gamestop. I don't remember the game but it was essentially the same deal 'let me play' , 'okay wait one minute'.

The kid tried to slap the controller out of my hand and just ended up smacking my wrist. The second time he did it I caught his arm and held him while calling out for whoever his parents were, doing my best to avoid causing him any pain for fear of getting in trouble for his crap behavior. Fortunately his mom saw the whole thing go down and pushed him out the door, beating his ass all the way out.

It's a real tough situation, you know? We have this generation of kids coming up who are so used to having whatever they want instantly. Add to that the lawsuit friendly society we live in and it's like you're taking your life into your own hands every time you deal with a shitty kid in a store.

As a "fly on the wall" style observer GameStop employee this stuff is grade A entertainment to us.

Smile: Therapy

Ticked: Therapy (and not being able to afford Portal 2)

I've never seen a kid act like that at a store before, including myself. I'm glad of it, too. Although once, while I was in Walmart, some black kid, about 10 I'd say, tried to convince me to buy him a game. I told him otherwise.

I think in these situations you guys should go whole hog. Immediately shout at the tops of your lungs for the staff to call the police, as that child has just assaulted you and must be tried as a juvenile. Kids have to learn there are consequences somehow.

Yes, learn that there are consequences by locking them up with a bunch of other delinquents for a couple of years so they can trade tips on how to pull of crimes better, then come out and be even worse. What that kid needs is a good bare-butt spank with a belt, not the police.

I see the sarcasm was lost on you.
