Saturday 9:32AM:
In the apartment sitting room
Jim is on the couch playing Xbox
*door slam*
“Jim, I got an idea Jim”
Shouted John excitedly
Jim focusing on the game
Raises a hand to make a gesture telling John to quiet down
“I know we've been struggling to pay rent, but I got a good idea-”
Jim pauses the game and tosses the controller on the couch
“Oh wow John a good idea? Is it like your same idea to dumpster dive into bins of game stores to find expensive DVDs to sell online which we found NONE OF and got fined for because it's not legal in Ireland?"
John's smile turns into to plain and kinda worried face
"Or how about your other brilliant idea to invest in stocks and using my credit card while I was sleeping because you thought
“Muh gut feewling was telling me somethin”
And tell me John. Tell me what your gut feeling achieved”
. . .
John taking a while to reply
Quietly mumbles the answer.
“Sorry John what did you say?"
John mumbles again.
“You made me lose €200 John.
And the landlord kicked us out for not being able to pay rent,
Now we live in this shitter apartment with awful internet we can't even use.
It takes thirty seconds to load a web page.
I am not even using internet right now
I'm using mobile data to play this match thanks to this place."
“Wait did you pause an online game?"
Said John.
Jim quickly positions the controller in his hands and starts playing again but more aggressively.
the match ended after 30 seconds
Resulting in a loss
“Hey bro on the bright side you didn't get kicked for doing nothing. You got XP”
Jim breathes deeply trying desperately to not punch his friend
"What's your idea John?"
John smiles widely again
"You won't regret it this time, this is a more realistic and legaller scheme than the others, we will make a film.
The room is silent.
"That's all?"
Questioned Jim
"Yes that's it"
John said back
"This is the best yet the dumbest idea you came up with. Also legaller is not a real word"
