#15: Whacky Mall
Ah, Whack-A-Mole. The classic game of strategy and frustration. When this person was a kid, they tried to beat the game in a unique way, but got banned from the arcade instead. Instead of playing the “normal” way by hitting each mole as it popped up, they decided to try and hold all of them down at the same time.
The mall arcade employees noticed and kicked him out immediately. To be fair, we get it. The employees were probably concerned that this random kick would accidentally break their expansive game in his efforts to ingeniously beat it. Our storyteller’s strategy wasn’t recognized for what it truly was: genius.
