Lunchbox was buzzing with excitement over his big plans to attend The Price Is Right in October.
He’d been talking for days about strategies, his dream of being in the audience, and the possibility of finally getting his chance to “come on down.” But then came the bad news, his ticket wasn’t for October 17th. It was for September 17th. In all his excitement, he accidentally purchased the wrong date. The show is happening this week, not next month, and now his plans are out the window.It’s a classic Lunchbox move. He admits he doesn’t double-check things, isn’t detail-oriented, and doesn’t use a calendar. Sometimes he even wonders how he makes it through life without writing anything down. Half-joking, he says maybe there’s some kind of disorder he can blame.
A listener even called in with a heads-up: if he ever does make it to the show, his real name has to be on the name tag. Lunchbox shrugged it off, saying, “That’s the price of fame.” He feels a little embarrassed about the mistake, he didn’t even want to share the story, but he’s determined to try again and hopefully snag an October spot. Until then, this ticket mix-up is just another addition to his long list of “oops” moments, right up there with his unusual medical history that includes tuberculosis, yeast infection in his mouth, and chronic strep throat.
