When we were kids, my brothers hated it when I would beg them to restart Mario Kart games because I'd be in 6th place within seconds of beginning the game. I was always button-happy and I remember once, one of them told me that I shouldn't even be playing Mario Kart if I didn't know how to get out of 6th place. He only needed to tell me once. I stood up and dropped my controller in true mic drop style.
I stopped playing Mario Kart for years. Decades. The few times I have played since then, I just try to get the banana peels so I can follow other people and throw it up ahead of me so other racers will slip. Haha.
I also hated Rainbow Road.
But why, you ask? Why did I quit so easily? Well, I'm glad I pretended to ask a question you may or may not have been curious to know. Homie, because, I'm the worst sore loser ever in the entire world. It's a sickness. I mean, I think I'm getting better. I hope I'm getting better. It helps to have friends who are just as competitive love to see me lose. But real talk, I'd rather quit before I lose. Once I'm not within view of first place, it's not even worth it anymore. Let others win it. They deserve to shine once in a while. And, chances are, I probably didn't want first place hard enough anyway.
To those who have been friends with me long enough and/or have had the privilege to see me act like a crazy woman at holiday parties, I am not sorry for always needing to win our Taboo games. Can we start a Taboo team? I bet there's a league in the city we can sign up for. I We could beat all the other mofos and take home bragging rights!!! Get at me if you're serious.
