9 out of 10 people in the UK are happy, apparently...

Hmm...

Should come and visit our office, where 98% of people are unhappy. Would balance things out a bit.

It had me there until it said the poll was by the Government.

And then I read when they conducted it...

OK guys, I think I did a very bad thing today. Morally, I'm fairly sure it was inexcusable.

I got a job at Morrisons, epic, I'm on the checkouts. A fairly old couple come in and along with their shopping they buy a Wii game, which is Wacky Races: Crash & Dash. Less than two hours previously I'd been looking at this game online after watching a Brok3n Pix3ls review of it, and it looks like the worst game I've ever seen.

I let them buy it and walk off with it. I didn't say a word.

I feel like I've ruined their lives, or worse, little Billy's Christmas. Poor kid.

I work in an indie game store and on one of my first days some years back now this cute little kid, alone picked up a Harry Potter game (one of the early ones) and paid with his pocket money savings of ?1 and 50p coins. I felt really bad taking his money from him at the time thinking how bad the game was supposed to be, but later learned he really enjoyed the game which made me feel better. Everyone has different tastes and what we and critics might think as unforgivably bad might bring someone else a world of joy. Telling myself that is how I sleep at night anyway.

He was probably too traumatized to say it was anything other than brilliant.
