Maybe a bad situation turned good, or a good situation turned bad but then in a freak accident of space and time turned good and giggly!
Here's mine. This just happened about 10 minutes ago:
I was in Lion's Arch dist3, making small talk with people, which was only possible because the salesmen were in bed.
I saw a guy who I shall call Horatio say in the Trade channel, "Selling Guild Wars Fractions key, 60k!" Yup...he said it...Fractions...
I was compelled to take action. I messaged him saying something like, "Fractions? What's that?" I was hoping he would catch his mistake, but he was oblivious.
"Its the expansion to Guild Wars," he replied, to which i responded,
"Are you sure? I thought Fractions was some lame math game..." he still didn't get it. I saw this as an opportunity to be a b@$turd, and I challenged him to a 50k bet that Fractions was NOT the title of the Guild Wars second campaign. He accepted the bet with great enthusiasm! I told him he would win if he could send me a link to somewhere on the Guild Wars main site that said Fractions as the second campaign.
"Dude, I'm looking at it right now" he said, clearly thinking that I was the stupid one.
"If you still can't see that you are wrong, then read a little closer" I said, trying to free him of his own incapability to read closely. We batted back and forth about how I was wrong, and I made comments about how he should read, blah blah blah.
In the end, I spelled it out for him, and he discovered his error. I didn't intend to make him pay the 50k, that would just be cruel (not that i could make him even if i wanted to). He claimed that I didn't win because it was so close. he said that I didn't play properly, lol.
Surprisingly, he didn't ignore me! We kept on going, and I made a joke about how he should sue the education system for not teaching him how to read. We ended off on a happier note than we began, although he wasn't entirely as giggly about this event as I was
Fin.
Ok, now your turn! Post your funny stories about people who made you laugh!
