It's getting to be a weekly thing in TWIT - drama going down at the VFW. First we had the man faking the hiccups to deal with during bingo, and then we had the drama-filled Ladies Auxiliary elections. Tonight was the regular Thursday night bingo, and while we had about half as many as normal, there was no shortage of drama. In fact, most of the drama was occurring as I was walking into the place this evening. Two of the regular workers got their panties all in a wad and got made and left, saying they were going to another bingo in the area. It was fine with me; don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out. But the reason they got mad and left was kinda funny. It wasn't funny to the VFW nor to the two ladies that got made and left, but it was funny to us bystanders who were witness to it. You see, the two ladies that got mad sold the bingo cards, and held the position of card sellers for about 5 or 6 years. During that 5 or 6 year period they also thought that it was ok for them to get a free set of cards each week because they "worked" and felt that the VFW owed them that much. Keep in mind none of the volunteers that help at the bingo are paid; it's all strictly voluntary. Well, tonight the new officers that are in charge of the Thursday night bingo called them out on it. And the two ladies weren't too happy about it, either. That's when they got mad and left.
Another volunteer and Ladies Auxiliary member (and also a Webster University alumni) and I were discussing this, and when she told me what had happened, we both had the same "WTF?" expression on our faces. Never a dull moment at the VFW, sports fans. Never a dull moment.
