Mediocrebot Pranked Me

Last night I was frantically smashing the buy button and then the “I’m not a robot” button trying to be a fool rushing in for the Fukobukuro. The order status bar would fill green, drop out, fill green again, and then say “sold out”. Then I’d wait for the countdown and do it all again the next time another one came up.

It started nearing 3 AM, and it was getting harder to keep alert for those count downs so I started setting a timer on my phone to alert me to about a minute before the next countdown was going to end.

But, each time, I’d leave the PS4 to come to the computer and load the site only to find that I had just missed the next new Fukobukuro, and, depressed, I’d set a new timer and go back to my Yakuza Kiwami 2.

This went on well into the early morning hours, when I finally realized that the timers I was setting were being changed, from 1 minute before the countdown was to end, to 1 minute after it ended.

I swiveled in my computer chair to face Mediocrebot, laughing at me from the corner. It was then that I also noticed my arms were nothing more than sizzling arm skeleton bones, reduced to the bone-white bones by some kind of citrus acid.

I learned my lesson and parked myself in front of the computer, watching the countdown with my very own eyes. This time, the prank would be mine. As the countdown reached zero, I refreshed. And mashed the buy button. And proved I was not a robot, followed by a successful order. Just goes to show that not being a robot, especially a Mediocrebot, is the best prank revenge, even with painful human skeleton arms.
