played a game last night and the other player couldn't add up their score (under 100) without a calculator. they wanted to use my cell phone and i told them no.
my wife said i was rude and i said a full grown adult with a masters degree should be about to do basic addition in their head.
edit. wife let them use her phone and the "score" was triple what is should have been. i said they entered numbers wrong and they got defensive saying the calculator doesn't lie. then we added the score up out loud and showed them they entered wrong info into the calculator.

that's what i said to my wife - not what was said directly to the other player.
damn right.
You might want to consider dialing back your competitive nature just a bit, or you may find yourself running out of friends to play games with. Usually the objective in that setting is to have fun...and it doesn't sound like you're having a whole lot of fun.
Is this BDK's dad? English proficiency seems similar. I could be mistaken, I only have a bachelor's degree.

Reading minds here?
Really, have some fun with games. You sound like a nightmare in these stories.
So Mrs. JCyclonee took the kids out to look at a kitten and now they are leaning towards getting two kittens. That would give us three cats including our 19 pound beast. Can you say crazy cat family?
You deserve to get ******* at if you think you have a triple word score and you remove the tile and it's not there.
Is my hypothetical buddy M'town? Then yes, yes I could imagine the fisticuffs...but only if his wife wasn't there. If his wife was there, she'd tell him to simmer down, then he'd run off in a huff. Probably muttering and cursing under his breath as he rides his scooter home with e'rbody passing him honking.
Eh, not me. I am not dumb but math in my head has always come hard for me. My dad and sister could do all sorts of multiplication/division etc in their heads. Sis was a math major. My brain just isn't wired up that way. I am a long-hand pencil and paper multiplication/division guy. Makes the engineer's role their eyes at me but **** em. They got the math skills but ended up without any human interaction skills for teamwork which is why they were on a team lead by me.
