Penny has managed to jam her car key into the apartment door lock and spill most of her groceries.
It's the manifestation of Penny's frustration with the overall stagnation of her life: she goes to auditions but gets no parts, she didn't get a promotion at her day job, she hasn't had sex in six months,[[note]]Assuming these episodes are supposed to take place roughly on their original airdates, this would suggest that Penny's most recent sexual encounter was shortly prior to [[Recap/TheBigBangTheoryS1E18TheTangerineFactor "The Tangerine Factor"]], which first aired on May 19, 2008. That would mean it hasn't even been five months, but of course Penny's not particularly known for precision.[[/note]] etc. Sheldon "helps" Penny by explaining the mechanics of why her car key got stuck in the apartment door lock and why her groceries spilled.
Penny waits for the locksmith on Sheldon's couch as Sheldon resumes playing''VideoGame/AgeOfConan'' online. She soon ''Age of Conan''. Penny becomes addicted to playing interested in the game, which worries Leonard game and quickly gets addicted, bothering Sheldon for advice on the game at all odd hours of the day and night. Penny's hygiene deteriorates and she neglects to go to work.
The last straw is when Penny calls Sheldon at the university as he appeals to Department Chair Gablehauser (Creator/MarkHarelik) to resolve a dispute over mainframe computer time in Sheldon's favor -- Leslie Winkle (Creator/SaraGilbert) ignored a sign-up sheet Sheldon posted. Sheldon hangs up on Penny on his mobile phone, so Penny calls Gablehauser's office phone. Obviously Gablehauser will rule in Leslie's favor.
In the cafeteria, Leslie drops by the table where Howard, Leonard, Raj and Sheldon(especially are eating lunch. Leslie asserts that Penny's addiction to the latter mainly because she's constantly bothering him MMPORPG is rooted in her sexual frustration. Sheldon signs Penny up for help).

Although Sheldon does not put much stock in the "science" of matchmaking sites, he does think that Tom (Creator/MarkHames), whom he describes to Penny as "a sexually passive outdoorsman," is a good match. But Penny is too engrossed in the game to notice Tom. After getting some game advice from Sheldon, she leaves abruptly.
Tom remarks that Penny, all disheveled, doesn't look like her profile picture. Maybe nothing will snap Penny out of her addiction to the game.
