Cops play WoW?
HydroTonix | 9:01 PM on 03.15.2009 22 comments


A couple of days ago I was in my local electronics store looking for an AC adapter for my car. A policeman walks in with his partner. I notice he is buying some PS3 games, some NBA shit, a headset, that kinda stuff. As he is at the counter I can't help but overhear him talking with the cashier. They were talking about games. The conversation went something like this:

Cashier: Oh, PS3 fanboy are we?
Cop: No no no, these are for my son.
Cashier: Oh, I see. I have a PS3, but it's more of a media center I would say.
Cop: Oh, I wouldn't know, I don't play consoles, I'm a WoW kinda guy?
Cashier: No shit?! What server you play on?
Cop:*Says some servername that I don't remember on account of I don't play WoW*
Cashier: NO WAY! I play on the same server!
Cop: Well, aint that the wierdest thing. Whats your character?

They then proceed to exchange levels, classes, and screen names. I just thought it was interesting to see a person you would never expect to say those kinds about such a, well, nerdy subject. And this was'nt no "Pig" either. He wasn't fat or old.

Witnessing this really made my day.

That cashier sounded like he knew what he was talking about.

Yee yee yee.
Have you ever met a cashier that isn't a douche though?

Ok? Why does it matter what game someone plays in their spare time? If they enjoy it (somehow...) why does it matter if they're a Police officer or a Surgeon? As long as they do their job, I honestly don't mind.


Fuck that Cashier though, you shouldn't criticize someone for their purchase if you're trying to get them to buy stuff.

It isn't surprising, seeing how World of Warcraft has, what, 3 million subscribers or something ridiculous like that? There's bound to be everyone from police men to politicians to rapists in that pool of people.

But that cashier was certainly a dick. Cashiers are always dicks.

@ThunderHeartXI - 3 Million subscribers? Try 11 million. Fucking sad, I know.

Back when I used to play WoW, I used to buy gamecards from a store called ePlay, a UK only store with about 7 in the country (closed down now). Both cashiers who worked there played WoW, and every two months I'd come back to buy another one, they'd say the same thing about The Burning Crusade expansion.

Cashier: WoW fan aye? You heard about the expansion, you can have flying mounts in it!
Me: Yep, I read about it.

Every fucking 2 months, the same bastard would talk about flying mounts. I think the store closed down after the expansion came out so I started buying my gamecards at GAME where I didn't get the same old bullshit. That guy was nice and friendly, but he sure did love the concept of fucking flying mounts.

Stop the presses. Cops eat food and then proceed to shit in toilets.

Cops are humans too. Humans play games. WoW is a game. A point in this blog? There is none.

@Benki

11 million is the figure that popped into my head at first but I didn't want to drag down my hope for humanity to even greater depths so I went for a number that I thought was more reasonable. I haven't been keeping up with the numbers since I quit WoW.

You guys, I think the point that HydroTonix was trying to make with this post was not the fact that a cop was playing a videogame, but the fact that both of them play on the same WoW server and exchanged player information right there.

@garison Exactly, the point of this post isn't the fact that ZOMG A POLICEMAAAN PLAYS VIDJAGAMS. The point was that a man with an actual gun plays games. AN ACTUAL MOTHER FUCKING GUN FOR GODS SAKES.

I kid.

Cops do play. Back when I played a guild member got out of a speeding ticket by saying that he was trying to get home to raid in the game. And lo and behold the cop played as well, and let him off.
