#9 11 years ago

I responded to an add for a machine, it was a Taxi. The address was in a well to do part of town, house had to go for $800K. The guy had it at a friends house. The friend was a 45 year old female and she had a couple of teenage daughters. I showed up around 10:30. He takes me downstairs and the lights are off. The lady says there are teenagers down there....they had a party the night before. We go downstairs, turn on a light, and it was like a scene from Dracula. There were about 4 males laying all over the basement, obviously they had been up late. Believe the girls went to sleep up stairs, at least I had thought. Anyway, we turn on the game and I start to play/test it as these males in between 17-23 are laying around me trying to ignore the sounds and keep sleeping. I had a guys head about two feet from where the flipper button was. He moaned and I just said, "sorry bud - I was in your shoes 20 years ago."

Got it out of there in 20 minutes. Bizarre.
