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.

50/50 on this one - the salesman sounds like a creeper, but OP probably spends so much time in there that the salesman knows him by heart. We don't have all the facts here.

Well if you would get a life, maybe he wouldn't have.

It's weird, but not that creepy. If you go there all the time, and have been going there since you were a little kid, I see where he'a coming from.

You should be happy about that, some one has noticed you going up the totem pole, and is probably a good way to get discounts and stuff
