That sounds great. I'll ask for my entire paycheck in singles

So you do know some pball chicks after all.

Not so much a "site" experience but more a shop one:

Phone rings: "HPG how can I help you"

Kids voice: " I would like to buy a paintball marker!"

Me: "How old are you?"

Kid: "14"

Me: "Sorry, you are too young to purchase equipment from us, you need one of your parents to come and get it!"

Kid: " Ok, thank you" and hangs up

10 min later the phone rings again:

Me: "HPG how can I help you"

Kid in a fake deep voice: "Oh hello, my son just called.."

WHAT A TOOL!

a few weeks back, a guy i work with prettended he had a pod of Armour-peircing' paintballs, and was handing them out to eager school kids wanting to inflict serious damage on their teachers at the site... they were only the remainder of paint from last year, ie a different colour shell!!! how gulable!

ah, unlucky, Mario, its those times, you need to remind the customers 'Paintball problems' only! unless you happened to be a qualified 'Agony Aunt'

"Marshall, Marshall, these paintballs poisonous? cuz they don't taste very nice".
Replied with "No they're not mate, we'll see if we can get strawberry in for you next time".

but we have had paint where the shell tasted like strawberry at our site once, was quite good as well, they only problem, the shell did taste like strawberry, the fill however tasted about 20x worse than usual and its that what you end up chowing down on anyway, ended up vomiting after trying a few

i actually felt quite honoured. Its a pretty hard thing to do to come out to someone, so if i helped the dude in coming out to his family by not freaking out on his practice run, im happy.

i also prefer the term agony 'uncle'

I have had customers lie down and pretend to be dead when they are shot (they thought this was what they had to do).
I have had players remove the lenses from their goggles because they couldn't see them properly, and once, when we used a blow up doll as a 'hostage' that had to be rescued from the 'VC Village' I found the guy that had 'rescued' the doll knocking the back end out of it in a Rhodedendron bush. He really gave it to her. We couldn't use the 'hostage' again after that, she was all bent out of shape.....
