Hooray...another story of stupid impatience coming right up.
While on my Cash uber, Short Stuff, I needed 1 measly coin mint with an invasion to get my needed cogbucks to CFO. So I go in with a group, none with over 100 laff, but with good gags. It went fine....except for the fact that one obviously belonged in the Brrgh, and she did not know how to complete ANY of the obstacles in the mints. So I waited every time for her 2 friends to come and help her. Fight cog, wait. Fight cog, wait. This was in River, on a slow invasion day. So as the last set comes up, it turned out that she had gotten stuck in the most SIMPLE obstacle of all, the room of goons. An invasion came up. I asked them to "Hurry!" "I need more cogbucks.". As it turns out, it took the full 10 minutes for them to help their friend through the extremely hard obstacle of goons. I was really, really exasperated by then. By the time we got to the cogs, the one slow toon was at <20 laff, and the friend at around 50. I tooned them up, then asked for them to wait for an invasion. Guess what, they didn't.
I had spent my time waiting, then got denied of an invasion. In my gags were a Presentation and a Train Track. Sure, would've been mean to use them and not wait. But when you do some group a favor and then they go and deny you what YOU need, that's just wrong. By the way, none of them needed cogbucks, so, obviously, they didn't care what I needed. I ended up going in again, wasting 20 more minutes of my time. Way. To. Go.
EDIT: I know both them and I were impatient, but I felt that I got the short end of the stick here >.>
