People smoking me out of a slot machine is a huge peeve for me. I was playing a slot machine just minding my own business when a woman came after me and sat next to me, deliberately blowing her smoke near my face. My body language made it clear I did not want the smoke near my face. Disgusted face and frantically waving the smoke away from my face would be clear to anyone with even half an ant's brain that I really did not her smoking near my face. She continued smoking near my face and I had enough and finally cashed out and got up. She was smirking and sat on the game she smoked me out of. I really should have just pressed the service button and let the casino staff handle that.
So, what are your peeves in casinos?
6/5 Black Jack, triple zero roulette wheels, being charged to park, walking forever just to reach the tables ...
Customer service is gone.
Quote: KeyserThe actuaries..
Hey now!
2) Carry a cigar with you, even if you don't smoke. When someone lights up on you and you give the verbal coughs and hand gesture waves and they ignore it... Puff that big cigar and throw it all back in their face. You could complete the joke with a "mine's bigger" comment if you'd like =).
I definitely hate when people try to get me to bet for them at a full table or something. Anything that I know 'could' get me in trouble if I hit a big hand or something. If you say no, they get really mad about it and I never like attracting negative attention. Plus, if you say yes and win, "usually" they'll tip you, so free money... It's a sticky situation with some games and I don't like it on those specific games.
One of my other big pet peeves is old people thinking just because I'm younger/young looking (early 30's) they can do whatever they want. From just asking me to move from something I'm playing to yelling at me that "you can't be that high level of a member, come get in line behind me!" to the general "I'm your elder F U" attitude I get from them sometimes. This is more of a life pet peeve I think...
2) Related to the above, folks that expect everyone to wait while they are taking pictures.
A woman wanted the game I was playing on. I told her I'd be a while on it. She went to the one next to me and had an incredible run on it, getting huge wins almost every spin. Her back up machine played miles better than the one I was on that she originally wanted.
Quote: billryanMorons wishing for the old days when the mob ran things. As if they gave a carp about anything but taking your money and laundering money.
Ploppies would be better off with the mob running things. They get more comps and things since money was being skimmed anyway. For APs, we are better off with the corporate business since they can't take you to the back room.
Probably the best time for AP was right after the mob left and the corporations took over.
When you get a handpay and the last $100 is in twenties, ESPECIALLY if it's a payout of $1280, so now not only do you have four $20's, but nine $20's. Argh.
Casinos that don't have VIP lines. DAFUQ, I don't wanna be in line with mere peasants! (Second half is sarcasm, not first half.)
When bartenders trying to give me a refill after a few sips.
At restaurants, when the waitress or whoever asks if you want another coke, you say yes, then she takes your cup to refill it. Like Bruh, I'm eating here, I want my drink when I'm eating. Even worse if they take forever bringing the drink back. For now on, they gettin' 1/2 their tip removed if they try to pull this sh** on me. Either come out with a pitcher or bring me a new drink.
When the same slot attendant handpayer chick pays you 3 times in the same night and every time asks, "Are you already in the system? If not I need your social." Like b****, are you retarded?
When hosts say "if ya need anything, call me and I'll help you out with food, rooms, tickets, etc." then you call them or ask for a food comp for a few people at a steakhouse and he gives you a $10 comp....or worse, says your play doesn't qualify for the comp...but keep playing and he'll see what he can do at end of your play. (Although I'm 99% sure one host did offer me cocaine or was asking if I wanted drugs [i wasn't in LV, but was saying I was planning on partying all night].)
Annoying when people are walking in front of me then suddenly stop. Well, the "peeve" of mine is when they then have the audacity to complain that I walked through them. Like come on, if you suddenly stop, I ain't gonna jump outta the way to not hit you. #ElbowsUp #SideToSide
2) smokers
3) smokers
4) employees/toke whores
1) Waiting in line to cash chips is definitely annoying... easier to just walk to poker room and cash in where it is not as crowded.
2) People who jump right in the middle of a craps roll and throw their cash on the table slowing down the action.
3) People who say 'Im gonna roll you a lot of numbers my man'.. We all know what that means. They are looking for a tip. As soon as they say that... I go off on all of my bets.
4) People who play with the dice for several minutes before each roll thinking they can dice control.
Thanks it! Not too much to ask.. haha

Did I read that correctly? Did you say craps players in general are a pet peeve of yours?

Yes and yes.

This is my favorite thing to do
Yes I know most of you hate smokers, however if I am allowed a space to do this, I will oblige buy staying in said space. I don't want to bother those who do not accept my sins, but give me a spot to kill myself while giving you my money.

Hehe.. The Surgeon General should put this on the next wave of cigarette pack messages.
Okay, so I cut my own hair and look like a cat with mange or something. So have you priced haircuts lately. Its 15 to 20 dollars for a hair cut here in the boonies. And its hard to hold your hand steady after a few tins of sterno.Quote: AxelWolfPeople with bad hair cuts.
Cashiers who act like you are a coward for cashing in your few remaining chips. Sometimes a player just does not want to go all the way down to the felt, he wants to have something in his pocket when he leaves the casino.
Mens rooms that have an attendant. Please if I could afford a posh place, I'd go to a posh place. Don't suddenly go upscale on me and hire some jerk I have to tip.

Quote: WatchMeWinGreat question!... gives us some time to vent. The following are some pretty annoying things that raise my brows.. not necessarily in level of annoyance order:
1) Waiting in line to cash chips is definitely annoying... easier to just walk to poker room and cash in where it is not as crowded.
2) People who jump right in the middle of a craps roll and throw their cash on the table slowing down the action.
3) People who say 'Im gonna roll you a lot of numbers my man'.. We all know what that means. They are looking for a tip. As soon as they say that... I go off on all of my bets.
4) People who play with the dice for several minutes before each roll thinking they can dice control.
Thanks it! Not too much to ask.. haha
4) Most definitely. Whether it's tossing the dice across in some ridiculous manner or rolling the dice to themselves until some magical number comes up.
The second is just general annoying people. This mainly pertains to blackjack. I mean, leave me alone. I don't care about the stupid side bet. I don't care if I'm messing up the shoe. If I want to hit my 12, I'm gonna hit it. Then there's the people who sit down and can't figure out what they are doing. Ok fine. But at least listen to the damn dealer try to help you out. Put one finger in the air for the camera. Come on you can doooooo iiittt, NO. I had too much faith in my fellow man.
Asking for ID after you swiped my Credit Card and I just signed???
Asking for ID after you swiped my Players Card for whatever I was buying???
Asking me for ID when I am using someone else's CC or Players Card and your not even looking at the ID and you let me swipe!!
Why ask??
Asking me for ID when I'm using my Wifes CC and her ID.... you dumb worker bees!!
Asking for ID when I cash out a Slot Ticket for over $1200 in some spots or over $3000 in all spots.
Asking for ID every day that I hit taxables in your Casino and you've known me for 20 years and I'm in the System and you know I'm in the System!
Nobody asking me for ID when I put the thousands and thousands of dollars inside the machine??
Asking me for ID when I am depositing money into your Bank you SOB's! I'm Depositing!! F O ... I'll just use the ATM!
Did I mention... Asking for ID... you Nazi Ba*****s!! Papers Please... Your Papers!! You would of fit right in with Germany about 75 years ago!
Slot People trying to make happy conversation with me while I'm losing thousands and playing Video Poker.
Congratulating me when I'm Losing.
Cashiers telling me how great I just did cashing out a large ticket when they have no clue!
Most Casino Employees because they have worked in the Casino for so long but have no idea what is going on.
"I just work here buddy!"
Players Club Employees that don't understand any of the promotions they have plastered all over the walls!
Bartenders at Video Poker Bars!
Cocktail Girls that ask me if I want a drink every 5 minutes for hours and hours.
No Cocktail Girl in sight for 45 mins when I actually want to order something!
The old, I'm dropping off right now!!
The word "Luck" or people who use the word "luck" or "lucky"
People who don't watch where they are walking or just seem to always stand right in my path.
Ploppies betting the minimum and thinking they are going to beat the machine?
Ploppies betting the minimum and asking me how I just hit for 4000 dollars?
It's probably a drunk thing.Quote: odiousgambitIs this an old guy thing? It seems to be worse in casinos.
Hey folks.,, The cocktail waitresses love this! Atleast the old drunks took some time to use the men's room. Waitresses do not like it when they pick up an abandoned plastic cup of beer and find out that it ain't beer.Quote: mcallister3200Puddles all over the floor in front of and around the urinals every time.

make mistakes, and the casino could
care less. In a local casino they finally
replaced them 6 months ago and
the new ones are now worse than the
old ones. They miss numbers, put
up the wrong numbers, and make
numbers disappear. Complete junk.

I agree. Quite infuriating!!

Right, how am I supposed to know if it's in a streak or a chop chop?
Quote: mcallister3200Right, how am I supposed to know if it's in a streak or a chop chop?
That's not the point. If you're going to
install something, keep it working
properly or get rid of it. If you complain,
they always say: "We don't have to have
it here, we do it for your convenience."
To which I respond, how is malfunctioning
equipment convenient for anybody.
People who play games wrong but insist they are playing right ("obviously you let it ride with a low pair, you have a chance at turning that $10 into $500")
When those people get lucky and say "I told you so"
When the pooping station door doesn't close/lock properly/easily.
When there's no coat hook on the door in the pooping station.
When the automatic flusher in the pooping station is too sensitive to motion and it flushes 3-4 times while dropping some puppies off in the pool. It's even worse if the flush is very strong and you end up getting water all over you (yourself?).
Sinks -- when you put your hands under the faucet and no water comes out....your hands need to be further away from the faucet for the sensor to read something is there to give out water. Thus, you get like 0.5 seconds of water.
Sinks cont -- when the faucet is very close to the edge of the sink and not closer to the center of the sink. In order to wash your hands your hands have to be touching the sink bowl to get water on your hands.
When the sink water isn't hot or even warm. I enjoy nice scalding hot water when washing my hands.
Bathrooms without paper towels.....instead, they only have those hot air bull**** things that don't even work.
Not that I really care, but urinals that don't have dividers between them look to be low class.
People who have 10 different small amount slot tickets and they cash and collect them one by one, instead of just putting them all in and collecting once.
The others probably passed out inside.Quote: RSWhen people rip the door frame off the wall because they don't understand how a typical hotel door lock chain works.
Quote: AxelWolfMaids that try to enter your room as they knock. Knock and wait a few minutes, dont just knock and enter before people have time to get rid of their blow.
RIGHT!!??
That's especially true when you have your Do Not Disturb sign up and it's not even check-out time yet! Of course, griping about it has gotten me some Free Play on one or two occasions in the past. I don't complain about service staff very often, and am willing to deal with just about anything usually, but the knock/open (or even just the knock) before check-out time when my room should be a DND is something I cannot abide.
People will come up and say 'Got
it all figured out yet?' and laugh
and laugh. Like it's the most original
thing they ever said. Or 'What number
should I bet on next?' Or, and I really
hate this, 'Why are you writing stuff
down, just look at the tote board.'
If I killed any of these people I would
probably get in trouble.
