Are you winning? Are you ahead?

[Skip Brutale]

I live with a few roomates and the computer is in the living room so people are always around when Im playing. And Im always getting asked, are you winning, are you ahead? But its like my friends have a 6th sense for when Im losing, and only ask during these times.

Then I can tell by the look on their face they think I suck because Im down, and Im always down when they ask. Going through this on a regular basis is really starting to irritate me. From now on, Im just going to say Im ahead, becaues Im ahead in a long-term view which is something they dont have.

Does anyone else get angry when asked if they are ahead? Like it matters. Why does it matter if Im ahead right now?
