House Flipper Ruined My Life

> be me, shameless NEET > buy a new game, "House Flipper" > play it hours on end, love it > getting really good, this isn’t so difficult > idea.jpg > why not flip houses myself? > get a loan from the bank > buy cheap house, tools and supply > start working, new carpets, wallpaper, replace the fence and give the place a new coat of paint > try to install new lights, need more wire > go to the local hardwareshop, get a nice cool coke and hotdog to reward myself > come back to my house project > it’s buring, the fucking house is burning > it took all night to extinguish it, fireman asks me if i’m a fucking retard doing this without any professionals > next day, sitting on the rubble of my dreams > i dont know anything about handywork > i owe the bank half a milion > am ruined > house flipper has ruined my life I want a refund

A screenshot in the style of an anonymous imageboard post follows a jobless gamer who becomes confident after playing House Flipper, takes out a bank loan, buys a cheap house, and tries to renovate it alone. The house burns down, leaving him in debt and sitting on the rubble, ending with a demand for a refund from the game. The joke is the absurdly literal transfer of video-game confidence and mechanics into real life, with deliberately misspelled and crude text amplifying the punchline.
