Why do players always have to sit right next to me?

Hiya Members,

I went to the land casino on July 4th. Was planning to have a party but the weather here in Chicago was terrible. It rained for most of the day. There was simply no other option but to head to the casino...lmao!

I went back to Blue Chip Casino in Indiana. Went to my video poker section and low and behold who was there? THE NON SMOKER FROM HELL!!! At one point she sat 3 chairs away from me. I was praying she had a smoker on each side of her. I was tempted to tell her about my previous post and let her know she is somewhat famous....but i bit my tongue! Our paths never crossed to sit next to one another and i didnt want to ruin my day. I simply avoided her at all costs.

I didnt have any luck...lost more than i really should of. My friends were ready to leave because they were busted. I flipped them a few bucks to enjoy the stay alittle longer.

The casino was not that crowded at all. The holiday kept most of them at home bbq'ing i'm sure. I had pretty much any seat i wanted. I always try to find a row with as few peeps as possible. I found a nice end seat....put my legs up and kicked back.

As i played there was not a soul in my entire row...a row that consisted of 10 or so poker machines. All of a sudden walks up a man who decideds to sit RIGHT next to me! This happens alll the time. Why is it that players who have the entire casino to play at will sit right next to you? Amost everytime i go this happens.

Not only in a casino but any public place. A waiting room with hardly a soul around will come and sit right next to you. I'm quite the opposite...always finding the most remote seat possible.

Are you a person who sits right next to another person or do u search for a more remote seat.

Sometimes i have to admit...i do end up having a good time chatting with some of them as we play....depends if its a player from hell!

Uhmmmm, Lips....

Hate to say it, but if I walked in, saw you sitting with an open chair beside you... i would take it as well...

(Hint: You are Hot!)

Lips:  I too look for the most remote seat there is to settle in and play.  Sure enough, if there is a dozen other chairs to choose from, someone comes and plops their butt right next to mine.  Perhaps the think we are having luck, and the machines that are next to ours are lucky too.  I can't quite figure out what they may be thinking.  The only time I squeeze in next to someone is if it is busy and there just isnt alot of choice of places to sit.  I can't tell you how many times I have said those same words. "With the whole casino to choose from, you have to pick the seat right next to me." It happens to me too Lips........And I have yet to figure it out.

Jimbo i turned in my applications over 2 weeks ago...have baked enough pies for all of Evansville....wink!

See above Post Pam... Grin

Most folks choose a seat (church, theater, etc) based on personality type.  But, in this case it is RUDE.  I really can't stand it when someone just SITS next to me while I am playing and they are just SITTING watching me.  If they are too obnoxious about it, I ask security to move them along. 

Yes yes yeeesssss.. pick the most remote seat, to relax and enjoy
away from others.. able to smoke, breathe.. whatever.. and along comes
"Mr Bad Breath Wanna Talk'nTalk..." that onion and fish type breath
Lawd PLEEAASSSEEEE, help me i say.. i'm rollin my eyes, my face feels
like it's turning green, secretly holding my nose hoping it doesn't run away off my face
..and trying NOT to be rude.. but you just wanna hand them
a mega gigantic wheel barrow sized tic tac!..

ROFL ....Oh yes.....Been there....Experienced that.....
    Wheel barrow sized TIC TAC....HAHAHAHAH

hmmm...fish and onion? maybe if he added some garlic and pinch of basil and corriander, he might have gotten your appetite.


LIPS! Did you pass the test? I hope you indulged yourself with not just one but two or even three cigs. Letting the wind grab hold of all the smoke and as the smoke was about to pass that lady...it conveniently stops...leaving the smoke to linger and hover right in front of her...allowing with every breath to be sucked up by her monstrous nostrils. And in doing so..her face...OH that face....the face that would make any man shreak and quiver with chills of disgust...that face would begin to turn green..making her oh more so compelling (Not!)...and as she opened her mouth to yell at you again...u let out another puff smoke straight into her mouth - right down to her throat. As you watch her gag - you politely tell her..sorry but that seat is taken..by anyone but you.

Soda69.. now THATS how you do it...
Just like that!

Soda u actually Popped in my mind when i saw her....i pulled up my boot straps and was ready to spar......my ammo.................smoke baby smoke!

You r wayyy to cute girl...love your response!!!!!!

hey lips, when i go to land casino, see somebody cute like you,of course i'm seatin closes posible,why,,well co'z i'm single ready to mingle, and also some times i like to talk, make new friends,and also if i see somebody losing and im' wining i'm all ways give few dollars, co'z that bring you good luck, when you are generous,,,,,I Think,,,(winks ) 

I have to agree, though I did once have someone standing next to me actually "Commenting" about my playing!!

Finally I just sat there for a few minutes and didn't do anything. They stood and stood and stood..Finally they said "Are you going to play?"

I responded (Here it comes!)

"ARE YOU GOING TO SHUT UP?"

They were a bit offended at my response.

I still left a winner (In more ways then the machine) but yeah, people who sit by me and yak away drive me nuts too..If I wanna talk, I'll just hit a local bar.

AT land casinos i usually try to sit where smokers are now. I hated it when I didnt smoke and people around me did. If someones a non smoker I try to not smoke too much sitting next to them. Unless I was sitting there first than if they are dumb enough to sit next to me oh well

lol if you were smoking an "alternative" tobacco then the same people who complain about the smoke  are        deeply inhaling      saying hey pass tha this way !!!!    hypocrites like that are everywhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I pretty much chop this experience up to one thing...

I'M A FREAKING WIERDO MAGNET!!!!!!!

If there is a weirdo (not saying I'm the slightest bit normal) within a 5 mile radius, BOOM there they are, standing right next to me talking about Star Wars, Comicon, do I like sushi? they are allergic to fish, surprisingly pot belly pigs make great pets, how they wanted to sell a gently worn shirt on craigslist for $2.50, what happened when they got drafted to Vietnam, please meet my invisible friend Clayton...blah blah blah!

I know when a weirdo is going to come and talk to me.  They always try to make eye contact to make that silent 'it's OK' non-consenting agreement to come and converse.  I always try to divert my eye contact, but somehow, I DONT KNOW HOW, I end up looking at them square in their beady little peepers.  I've pretty much just gotten used to it.  Lately, I just try to act like I am constipated or having really bad indigestion.  You know?  Like I'm struggling.  I've found this deters the weirdo encounter before it even has a chance to manifest.  I will admit however, when I'm REALLY bored and there is a chance at a weirdo encounter and the weirdo looks/acts exceptionally strange, I will entertain the conversation 

ok....i'll just quietly walk away now...u've made ur point...b-b-b-but i can't help it...ur hot!!!

Come on Soda....you are a gambler, you know the possible weirdo encounters that lurk at the casino.  And that's just the casino!  But you're not a weirdo, (not in the traditional sense anyway ) I wouldn't act like I had indigestion if you came up to talk to me.

I LOVE weirdos in the casino, especially when i had to many
Long Island Ice Teas.. they start to seem normal LMAO
Weirdos get their day sometimes..

Another thing thats annoying is the one who comes along,sit next to you and says..
"hmm i've never played this before, let me see here.."
*puts money in, hits the spin button*
JACKPOT!....
GRRRRRRR.. yeah yeah i'm happy for you.. knowing i've been sitting here for
5 hours and the machine right next to me HITS THE JACKPOT first try and in 1 minute :-\
You wanna be happy for them..

Does this mean i can sit beside you again? No more cut-eye? Or giggling and whispering with your friends making fun of me?

OMG....are you flirting with me? You are flirting with me! Between you, lips and shelli...i'm not sure how much more i can take...

mmmmm...wait...no...actually...i need more...lots more!!!!


LOL...yes...i'm kidding..although i do love the attention (nothing wrong with that right?)

Soda,

You can pull up a chair right next to me anytime! I might whisper, i might giggle...but never at you.....just with you...wink!
