The ‘Bingo Rage’ Phenomenon
I know this isn’t something everyone would randomly start thinking about but let’s put it this way: I had a lot of spare time of the semester break.
Spending my Sunday afternoons playing bingo with my grandmother has taught me that older people can be very violent when it comes to bingo. Seriously, don’t laugh.
Dabbers are pressed hardly onto the bingo, muttering of voices can be heard the closer they get to winning the prize at the end. But when the numbers don’t match up, the reactions are almost in slow motion.
Heads will roll and spit will fly if they don’t win, year after year and dollar after dollar they say. Yes of course, life must be difficult for you, you reply. Keep the peace and don’t get the rage, and maybe go somewhere else on Sunday… Church anyone?
