You are a winner. You wake up every morning ready to conquer the day. You've been applying yourself from a very early age, not settling for second place. You graduated with honors, earned a full scholarship to the college of your choosing and became the valedictorian. You didn't party, play games or keep up with the Kardashians. And all this work is about to pay off, because you're about to land a job that will secure your future.

But not so fast, because something terrible is about to happen. Meet Kristin, the pot-smoking slacker who wakes up at the crack of noon and can't even spell valedictorian.. Out of nowhere, she swoops in and takes your dream job. You're stunned; all you can do is stand there and watch everybody else pass you by. Now you'll be lucky just to get a job flinging burgers at McDonalds. 
 
It sounds like you were hit with the blue turtle shell, the most despised of all Mario Kart weapons. Forget taking each corner with perfect precision and learning the track, because all that can be undone by the sour loser in last place. The blue shell flies straight for the driver in the front of the pack, which will most certainly keep them from winning. It's cheap and always unfair. You worked so hard for that first place victory, and this jerk all the way in back messed it up for you. It just isn't fair.
