Signs You've Been Playing Too Much Sims

There are thousands upon thousands of great games out there. Among those are the Sims games. I mean, there's so many things you can do in these games. Of course, sometimes we find ourselves playing Sims so much that we begin to live and breathe Sims. It consumes our thoughts, until the day we stumble out of bed one morning, poke the shower, and wonder why it's taking so long for the pie menu to pop up. Anyway, here are some signs that you may be playing too much Sims.

Death By Hiccups

My brother came home from work one day, and we asked how his day was. "Well," he replied, "other than almost dying today, it was fine."

Apparently, at some point during his shift, he got a case of the hiccups. He does online shopping orders, so he was going around the store while hiccupping over and over. He tried various methods of getting rid of his hiccups, but they persisted.

Finally, he decided to try drinking some water. Problem was, right as he went to swallow, he hiccupped. Since he was in the grocery section, he was trying desperately not to cough and spray water everywhere. So there he stood, making strangled choking noises while he attempted to swallow.

A spectacle like that is bound to attract the attention of everyone around, right? "No. Earlier I hiccupped loudly, and someone asked me if I was all right. But me dying in the middle of produce? No one batted an eye."

Christian Camp Bus

Came into work one day, and was going through the usual routine. Making sure the bathrooms and dining area were stocked and clean, taking customers' orders, that sort of thing. It was summer, so it wasn't very busy like it is on school days.

At one point, I noticed one of the trash cans seemed full. Shoved the trash down, just to make sure, but it didn't make much difference. All right, time to take this out. I pulled the bag out of the trash can, twisted the top and tied it. Around that time, people started coming in. Great. It was fairly slow, but the instant I started taking the trash out, that's when customers start showing up. I'll have to serve them here in a moment...

Cashier Pet Peeves

After working as a cashier, you start to notice common themes, some of which eventually take the form of pet peeves. The vague descriptions or wrong names so you can't figure out what they're trying to order, or the gust of wind through the drive-thru window that makes a five-dollar bill try to fly away from you.

Who Needs Coats?

Recently, I went to a Mexican restaurant with some of my family. During the meal, my aunt was talking about how she stopped by her church the other day, and saw a jacket in one of the rooms.

"Huh, that's interesting." she thought. "It looks just like mine."

Then she began to wonder, "Wait, is it mine? I don't recall if I brought it home with me the other day."

As it turned out, the jacket was hers. She had left it there two weeks ago, and it had been sitting there, lonely and forgotten, for all that time. She hadn't even realized she had lost it until that moment.

We finished eating, and left the restaurant. Mom was going to my aunt's house to play card games and hang out, and I had an appointment later that day, so we went our separate ways.
