My new strategy to not be bothered

Someone was kind of upset with me barely playing a machine in a busy casino so I could talk with my friend without spending much money. He happened to go out for a smoke and coffee, so I was holding his machine as well. I was pretty blunt with her, because she was blunt. She asked if it was fair and if it was rude, and I told her I didn't care if it was rude or unfair, and for her to buzz off leaving me alone.

Funny as it is, he had a unique strategy for when he sits next to his girlfriend not wanting to waste money on something he doesn't prefer. He pretends to be deaf, and it cracked me up. My idea was to pretend to be mental, super schizophrenic, but you need a rehearsed script, very difficult to make up on the fly improv style, because you revert to sanity. I'm thinking they'll get exhausted and walk away.

Next chance someone asked me, got up right away. The one guy was speaking Russian, thought the chance he was a mobster psychopath wasn't worth taking.

Any script ideas?

I'm here because I want help getting dried up off these cigarettes, so I can get a job at a bakery and go to medical school.

When my daughter was doing drugs, her boyfriend had warrants. He got off 3 or 4 times, until the cop that pulled them over had busted him previously. Daughter of friend would be driving, cop ask for all ID's. He would slur words and say in childlike voice.
" I don't have no id Some bad man stole my wallet. Oh, Mister Policeman, did you get my wallet from the bad man ???

One response that is sharp and to the point would work

"I'm playing this machine."

"No"

"Machine's taken"

And that's it. They'll go away soon enough.

As much as it sucks to be locked out of a machine if someone is playing 1 line on 100play or something stupid on video poker, these people have the right to do so.

Yeah, don't sit at a machine in a crowded casino and not play.
