Burglar is wasted points

    By u/JonBlackfyreTruther, its a shitpost for Project Zomboid on someone who refuses to put their points into burglar.

    Get home from work. Make dinner, talk to my wife, put my daughter to bed. It's now 9 pm. What should I do with the exactly 2 hours of free time I have left in the day?
    
    Play Project Zomboid of course.
    
    Open up character creator, default apocalypse settings of course. Just want to shoot some zombies, and run them over on the highway. You know, fun stuff. Don't take burglar; I can learn to hotwire for free.

    Spawn in and try and find a car so I can get to the military surplus store. Hmm not a lot of keys for these cars. Still stuck in Rosewood.

    Okay well I'll just learn to hotwire real quick. Find a mechanics book but not an electrical book.
    
    Burglar is wasted points.
    
    Start disassembling watches. Check my phone once I learn how to hotwire. It's 2 am, I needed to be in bed 2 hours ago but I spent all my free time learning how to hotwire instead of playing the game.

    Start shaking and sobbing as I crawl into bed next to my wife. A horrible epiphany crests and roars through my mind like a great ocean wave.
    
    "Honey, what's wrong? Were you playing that zombie game? Are you crying cause you picked Burglar?
    
    Burglar is wasted points," She whispers.
    
    I look deep into her dark brown eyes filled with love and concern.
    
    "No dear," I sob
    
    "I'm crying cause I didn't pick burglar."
    
    She recoiled as if I struck her.
    
    I didn't know what I saw in her eyes that night as she started packing her bags and waking our daughter. I didn't know what it meant until the divorce papers arrived a week later.
    
    What I saw was love dying.
