Sucker
Ok..I have an experience to tell. My friend and I went to watch a basketball game the other day. In order to get cheap basketball tickets, we had to wait in line outside the ticket office 2 hours prior to the game showtime. (You might wonder what the price difference is. The gap is huge..8$ versus 36$.) Anyways, we waited in line among 100 students to get a 8$ ticket. But the ticket office didn't sell the tickets until 15 minutes before the game. You could imagine how tiring it was to wait in a cold windy weather. The clock was ticking, and 1 minute before the game, we heard rumors that all the tickets were sold out. And there was a guy, trying to sell his tickets for 20 bucks, and he seriously didn't leave us alone until we assured him that we didn't want his tickets. 1 minute after we shooed him away, the ticket office announced that all the tickets were sold out. So we ran to the underseller, who was pursuading us to buy his tickets earlier, and with a tone like he owns the world, he said "40 Bucks. You Take It or Not." WTH..it was just 2 minute time difference, and his attitude totally changed within that 2 minutes. Well..our attitudes changed too. Now I feel like this is a lesson of life: people will suck things out of you if they have the power.
