My Accountant: "But how much did you lose?"

a conversation with my best friend the other day who knows nothing about gambling, except that I play poker:



him: "I worked 2 hrs OT today"

me: "that sucks"

him: "no, it's good. I got a bunch of OT this week, I'm working like 48 hours total. I'm gonna take home over 800"

me: "umm...is that good?"

him: "why? how much did you make this week"

me: "I made like 1300, but I only played like 20 hours"

him: "yeah, but how much did you lose?"

me: OMFGROFLOLOLOLOL...

him: "what's so funny?"

me: "eh, nevermind"

him: "ok, whatever. so how much did you lose?"


This was a monumental BBV moment for me. I had never been BHMDYL'd in real life before and never really believed it actually happened. I was going to post about it, but forgot until I saw this post. The most amazing part is that it came from my best friend, not some clueless co-worker or distant family member or someone who doesn't know what I do. He was really serious about it and pressed on, so I just told him that I actually won $2000 and lost $700. He settled for that answer. Non-gamblers are funny sometimes.

Why were you throwing it in his face that you make more than him working less? Huge douchebag move
