Gigi, Dubai Deals & the Day I Got Kicked Out of Louis Vuitton
Alright, dear readers, fellow gamblers, and people who still have money in their bank accounts — let me tell you the tragicomic saga of how I lost my dignity, almost my dog, and definitely my spot on Gigi’s Instagram story, all in one fabulous day.
Let’s set the scene: Gigi Cashslot, my surgically enhanced on-again, off-again girlfriend, had just flown back from Dubai. Not on a vacation, mind you — on business. That’s what she said. Business. Yeah, the kind of “business” that involves champagne, yacht parties, and mysterious “entrepreneurs” with too many watches and no surnames.
Gigi Returns Rich. I’m Still Poor.
So Gigi lands back in town, practically glowing in fake tan and success, and what does she do? She drags my sorry broke ass to the Louis Vuitton store.
“Jack,” she says, looking me up and down like I’m wearing a trash bag. “You can’t keep showing up in my IG stories carrying that plastic grocery bag like some pensioner. We’re getting you something designer. And me too, obviously.”
Now let me clarify something: I had just blown my rent money on an online slot called “Big Loser Bonanza” — which, fair enough, lived up to its name. I was this close to winning back everything… until I wasn’t. The landlord is texting me in all caps, debt collectors have made a monthly habit of showing up at my door, and my employer is on the verge of legally banning me from asking for another salary advance. He’s already given me three this year — it’s May.
But still, I go. Like a good, obedient chihuahua.
Speaking of Chihuahuas…
Yes, I brought my chihuahua along. Emotional support and all that. Mistake. The moment we stepped into the Louis Vuitton boutique, he pissed directly on the gleaming marble floor — right underneath a display case with a €4,000 handbag.
I’m on all fours trying to clean it up with the crumpled receipt from my last sports bet, while Gigi holds up a limited-edition bag and yells, “Jack, it’s ONLY €3,900! That’s basically nothing for a woman of my income level!”
I tried to reason with her — asked if they do Klarna or some sort of post-apocalyptic layaway system for people with no credit history and questionable gambling habits. At that exact moment, a security guard materialized like an angel of judgment and politely but firmly escorted me out of the store.
Gigi stayed inside, obviously. Bought the bag herself with that Dubai money — because she’s a self-made woman, unlike me, the walking overdraft.
Down the Street and Down the Drain
I retreated to the nearest pub, ordered the cheapest beer they had, and tried to look like I hadn’t just been thrown out of a luxury store for being poor and having a leaky dog.
Half an hour later, Gigi walks in like she owns the world. New Louis Vuitton bag swinging on her arm, lips freshly glossed, attitude dialed to 11. She struts up to the bar, announces she’s “in the mood for bubbles,” and orders the most expensive champagne on the menu.
“I earned my money,” she says loud enough for the whole bar to hear. “Meanwhile, Jack here blew his salary on a slot game called ‘Mega Idiot Deluxe’ or something. Honestly, he’s one missed spin away from selling his socks on eBay.”
I tried to explain — calmly — that it was a calculated risk, and I was very close to hitting a jackpot. Gigi laughed so hard her fake lashes nearly detached.
“Jack, you’re as close to success as I am to eating rye bread.”
Final Thoughts (and Final Euros)
So that’s the tale. I’m broke, humiliated, and possibly blacklisted from every Louis Vuitton in the country. Gigi is drunk on champagne and validation, and I’m considering applying for a part-time job cleaning floors — starting with the one my chihuahua baptized earlier today.
Lesson? If your girlfriend comes back from Dubai “on business” and asks you to go shopping — run. Or at least make sure your dog peed before entering luxury retail.
The Hangover, the Pay Advance, and the Instagram Meltdown
After Gigi’s champagne toast and public character assassination, she decided to grace the pub’s sticky wooden table with an impromptu Instagram Live session. There I was, red-eyed and beer-stained, sitting in the background like some half-dead raccoon while Gigi shouted into her phone, “Ladies, if your man can’t afford a proper handbag, LEAVE HIM.”
The camera panned past my face as I quietly Googled “Can you go to jail for unpaid Klarna?”
“Look at this poor thing,” she giggled, zooming in on me. “Bless him. He tries.”
I do not try, by the way. I commit. I committed my whole damn paycheck to chasing that cursed scatter symbol. That’s not trying. That’s Olympic-level delusion.
Back to My Miserable Flat (a.k.a. Debt HQ)
Gigi left in a private Uber with two girls she just met in the bar toilets (one of whom, I swear, had a face full of bandages and said she too had just come back from a “business trip” to Turkey).
I walked home. In the rain. Holding my chihuahua like a soaked baguette. I would’ve taken the bus, but Gigi had used the last of my contactless credit at the bar to tip the champagne waiter because “you looked too cheap sitting there.”
When I got home, there were three letters waiting for me. One from the landlord (final notice), one from the electricity company (disconnection warning), and one handwritten envelope from my employer simply labeled: “NO.”
Inside was a post-it note. It read:
“Jack, you’ve had five salary advances this year. It’s May. We’re not a casino, and I’m not your personal sponsor. Grow up. –Martin”
Honestly, fair.
Jack’s Master Plan to Fix It All (Sort Of)
The next morning, hungover and defeated, I brewed some instant coffee (three spoonfuls of powder, one of regret) and came up with a brilliant plan: I’d win it all back before Monday. Easy.
I opened every casino site I had ever registered for and began sorting through the “No Deposit Bonus” spam emails like a man possessed. One site offered 10 free spins on something called Crypto Cows: Moo Money Edition. Another promised “guaranteed winnings” if I signed up via Telegram and sent them a photo of my passport.
Tempting. But I still have some standards. Just not many.
I deposited the €13.47 I found in my Revolut account into a slot called Payday Panic 3, because I figured the name was a sign. It wasn’t.
I lost it all in seven minutes. Not even a bonus round. I screamed into a pillow while my chihuahua licked my tears.
The Gigi Situation (or Lack Thereof)
Later that evening, Gigi posted a selfie from some influencer brunch event, captioned:
“Surround yourself with winners ?? #LouisVuittonBag #SelfMade #NoBrokeBoys”
No mention of me. Not even a tag. I messaged her, asking if she wanted to come over for dinner — I had canned soup and half a frozen pizza. She replied with a vomiting emoji and a screenshot of a first-class flight to Marbella.
“Going on another business trip,” she wrote.
I bet.
Desperate Times, Dubious Measures
Look, I know what you’re thinking. “Jack, just stop gambling.” But that’s like telling a mosquito to stop flying toward the bug zapper. It’s shiny. It hums. It promises warmth. Then — zzt! — no rent money.
I’ve started considering some truly wild options. Selling my collection of retro football jerseys. Renting out my couch to tourists. Teaching my chihuahua to dance on TikTok for tips. One friend even suggested OnlyFans, but I think I’d need more than a gambling addiction and emotional baggage to succeed there.
And yet, despite it all — the debt, the humiliation, the dog urine in luxury stores — I’m still here. Still spinning. Still hoping that one day, I’ll hit that elusive 100,000x multiplier and buy Gigi her own Louis Vuitton boutique just to prove I’m not a total loser.
Yours in poverty and poor decisions,
Jack Gamble
