I thought we could use a thread like this. After all, we're gamers and this is a game shopping website. This is the place to post some examples of the most "i cant believe that just happened" moments you've seen or been a part of during your game hunting in the wild. I know this will be extremley entertaining, and I know we've all got stories to contribute.
I'll give some examples and start the thread off.
When I was doing some major game shopping last weekend during the GameStop B2G1, I saw this unfold. I was in the store and this fat 30something guy walks in, holding a man purse. He plops his purse on the counter and says "Layton and the Curious, for the DS Used". The clerk asked him if he was picking it up. He proceeds to go on and on about how he used in-store look up to see what stores had it, and the first four he checked ended up having already sold it. (This is why you call ahead, especially during a B2G1 used sale).
The clerk says something like "alright, let me see if we've got it here for you". This for whatever reason set this fat man off. He started screaming and bellowing things like "
that! you better have it, the !" and yelling about how after the website said all these stores had it, if he comes up empty he's going to boycott the store forever. The clerk mostly ignored him.
After checking the computer, all the while this large man turned sweaty and red because of how pissed off he was for no apparent reason, the clerk tells himthey had the game. The clerk pulls the game out of the little ds droor display window thing and the fat man says "it's only the chip?" (it didn't come with the box, and this man called the game a "chip"). The clerk says it was indeed game only. Fat man then begins to act like he and the clerk have been best friends for years, talking about how it wouldnt make sense to get upset over that anyway since he'll still get to play the game.
After buying it, the fat man, still sweaty, leaves the store playfully saying "alright thanks bud, don't work to hard!"
