So they went from agreeing to house your pinball machine to "Get this old ass shit out of here" in 2 days.
Man your client is more ADD than a bus full of tweens without their Beiber and Twilight fix.
As to your 'friends'... anyone that walks away mid game while I'm explaining the rules to them, would be walking out my door next. I would see that these expendable friends get expended if they cause you frustration.
And yes anyone who thinks pinball is stupid and boring is an idiot. Pinball is <i> designed </i> to be the opposite.
