Gambling Problem
It is hard to visualize people with gambling problems not having messed up personal lives because they are so hooked to it. Gambling is such a tricky game, it won’t let you stay on the winning side all the time, and Heather’s date demonstrates that perfectly.
It is so unfortunate for her to end up with a gambler who not only had a wrecked car but also didn’t have the audacity to wear any nice clothes. We are sure he probably lost most of his money in gambling since Heather had to pay for both of them.
