Today, a friend and I went to Gamestop to pick up a game he wanted. I ended up buying a 17+ game, and I was prepared to show my license, but he stopped me an said, "I know you're 18". He then said, "Man, I've pretty much watched you grow up in this store." A game salesman watched me grow up. FML

OP here. It's a FML to me because, I'm not ashamed of being a gamer, I feel that it's just a pretty dorky situation. I totally was caught off guard when the site gave this entry the green light. I just thought it would be funny to share. A bit of background though, #155 is completely right, it's only been like 4 years.

That's more of FHL. He's been working at a game store for all those years. Atleast you had an excuse, you liked playing video games. Not all kids are into going out and playing sports etc.

"Her" name is Sparkles. Why do you assume it's a guy? There are 2 people in the picture. Also, is it that big a surprise for someone to be gay?

"Grow up", as in, get older? Because I'm pretty sure buying a 17+ game is the only sign of maturity you've shown. Get outdoors sometimes.

Yeah there's this one restaurant where a waitress has known me forever. when I was younger I went a lot and then didn't go for a few years but then I went back and she recognized me. I didn't recognize her though, but my parents assured me we did lol

That's definitely not as sad as the clerk working in a Gamestop for so long.
