Boyfriend's families and board games

I was being driven home tonight from a spontaneous beach day by a friend and this memory slammed into my head like a freight train as we drove past South Coast Plaza.

I had gone out to LA with my now ex-fiance to meet his family back when we had first started dating. It was seriously about a week into the whole ordeal. Anywho, I remember that they had talked me into playing the tile form of Rummy. I had warned him that I get extremely competitive and could not be faulted for anything that occurs. Well I kept helping him out and not screwing him over because I am nice to whoever I'm dating for some-odd reason.

He kept screwing me over. It got to the point that I lost my temper and slapped him across the face and yelled, "Fucker!" He really was being a douche though, even his grandfather reprimanded him for it. And he can barely speak English.

But it just reminded me why I always sit out on any kind of game, especially board games. I get so competitive and ruthless. However, I'm always down for card games. Total card shark over here.

So needless to say, I made a great first impression. And yes, the whole family eventually hated me. But for different reasons that happened later. XD...still strange though...The first and only family of a boy that has disliked me.

Oh and if you're wondering how on earth South Coast Plaza triggered this memory, it's because we drove back to his apartment in Costa Mesa afterwards and were stuck in traffic right next to it for about an hour.
