   I play the lotto 5 times a week with a friend.  I tried explaining why I   
   think the situation I'm gonna tell is funny to my wife, but I'm not sure   
   she understood.  Here goes.   
      
   So I go in to get $20 worth of lotto tickets.  I also have a $2 winner   
   to be taken care of.  I tell the girl I have a winner and would also   
   like $20 worth of tickets.  She goes to the lotto terminal and has the   
   machine generate the tickets, and also checks the winning ticket and   
   finds it is a $2 winner.  She walks back to the register and sees I have   
   placed a $20 bill on the counter for payment.  9 times out of 10 this   
   person then asks if I want to put the winnings toward the tickets.  I   
   always say, "What?" and make her repeat it.  When she does, I simply say   
   that what I want is my $20 worth of lotto tickets and for her to give me   
   $2 change.  She looks confused for a minute and eventually does what I   
   asked her to do.  Happens all the time.   
      
   Some people might think this is normal, or not understand why I find it   
   to be a problem if this is the way some people think.  I'm not saying   
   these kind of people are stupid, but they're certainly not the sharpest   
   knife in the drawer.
