lotto-head

a person who is so addicted to lottery tickets they become a major pain in the -rs- in “convenience” store lineups due to holding up people who are genuinely in a hurry. lotto-heads often compound the time-management problem by searching for the cheapest pack of cigarettes the store carries, thus forcing the cashier to scan numerous brands of smokes until the cheapest pack is found.

often a person on their way to work stops at the corner store and ends up getting stuck behind a compulsive gambler who should be feeding their addiction in a casino rather than holding up customers who are in a rush. as the lotto-head fusses about validating tickets, trying to pick winning numbers / scratch tickets etc. the customer behind them becomes late for work.
gambler – “i’ll get the extra on that one and that one and the bonus on that one, no not that one, the one beside it, also can i get a…let’s see, do you have any western’s? …no eh, are those gold rush tickets any good i wonder?, i guess i’ll try the bingo instead. oh and, what are your cheap cigarettes? do you have john player’s standard?, no eh, everybody else carries them in the 20 packs, oh i guess i’ll try the accord blue, how strong are they?

cashier -“sorry sir, i don’t smoke, i don’t really know but a lot of customers get these new studio smokes”

customer behind gambler clenches teeth and thinks to himself “f—, now i’m late for work, these lotto-heads without jobs… i feel like saying something”
