I think it was the fact that they were cashing in a bag full of pennies (-;Quote: WatchMeWinWhat gives you that impression?
Quote: BenjiexPeople who go buy cocktail feels that they bought already the whole hotel or restaurant and start bitching whenever the service is late. They should go to Mcdonalds if they want a fast service.
Sometimes McDonald's isn't all that fast. I once asked for a simple cheeseburger and I waited like 15 minutes! People who ordered after me got their food first. At least one worker said something like,"This lady has been waiting about 15 minutes for a cheeseburger! This really isn't right! We need to give her cheeseburger really soon! And like one minute later, I had my cheeseburger. :) I loved that it was acknowledged I was waiting roughly 15 minutes for a cheeseburger and it wasn't right. I
Person A says to Person B: You are being ignorant of the facts;
Person B replies: Don't call me ignorant!
That is NOT what Person A said
True. It's a kind way to say you hate people which is what it boils down to.Quote: billryanAll your peeves sound horrible. Why keep them as pets?
I swear, every time I get in line I seem to pick the one where the customer in front of me is getting a mortgage, or at the very least is buying a new car (or some other transaction that requires 3 cashiers, 5 forms of ID, and 15 minutes to complete).
Even better, have machines that cash chips, like those for slot tickets.

Some old movies were shot like that in some scenes, but I get aggravated when you can't get the screen adjusted to even see what is going on. And they still do it.
Quote: DogHandWhy don't casino cashiers have a "Chips Only" window?

Some do have chips only window. I think stations does, or at least some do. I think GVR does and RR, IIRC.
I think it’s just because chip transactions are so fast, and if there’s no one else in the chips only line, they’ll take the next person who’s in the regular line, then they’ll start filing out their paperwork for their 2’nd mortgage, prenups, cars they’re buying, etc etc.
Quote: RSOne (of my many) pet peeves is when you hit a jackpot and the slot dog is like “Oh my God! Waow! Big hit nice! Winner winner! Wow that’s so incredible, you won $1400!!!! Wooowwwws how you get so lucky?????”
$1400 is many people's monthly paycheck, so yeah, a pretty big deal to win. ;)
Quote: Nathan$1400 is many people's monthly paycheck, so yeah, a pretty big deal to win. ;)
True but it's all in the bet size to win ratio. $1400 win on a $1 bet is pretty nice. $5 eh ok. $25 it's annoying since it's only a 56x win that locks up the machine. $100 not too great.

Yes and sometimes the person cashing the $1400 ticket is down money for the day.
The old joke: So how did you do at the casino today Tom. I won 500 dollars and it only cost me 700 dollars to get it!
Quote: djatcSome casinos have this thing where you can sign up for their jackpot system, where if you hit a taxable on a machine, you can enter your pin and add the amount right on the machine. If you want the W2G you can ask for it at the player's club after you're done playing. Saves time on $10 VP.
The Big Jackpot did that or something really similar when he was winning a jackpot literally every few seconds(He was playing like $500 every spin! O.O) Commenters were saying stuff like,"Why is TBJ punching in a pin whenever he gets a jackpot? Why isn't the machine locking up?"
Edit: Every casino should do this. It's literally the best thing ever.
Quote: TigerWuWhy do people park IN their front yard when they have plenty of driveway space and street parking? It's SOOOO trashy.
I guess to make potential space for other family members. My Mom used to park in our front yard when they would close the gate and they had three cars. Dad parked in the driveway. They no longer close the gate because she now has difficulty pushing heavy items and they got rid of one car, so they now both park in the driveway.
I tell them "I left it in the machine" and they persist with "Oh just give me your ID and I'll look you up"
Quote: vegasWas playing video poker and the guy beside me would hit the max button on every hand. This causes the credits to da,da,da,da,da on each hand. It was getting to me so I finally told him to hit the deal button to eliminate the noise instead of the max button. He said...why? I told him it was driving me nuts. He said...so move....and I did.
A lot of people do that so they are only hitting the draw button once per hand.

Yeah, that’s incredibly annoying. It’s bearable if I’m on a strong play, otherwise I just move.
What’s even worse is finding a nice machine with no one around and you’re like “sweet, I can do my thing without people pestering me” then 5 minutes later you got people sitting right next to you, telling you stories about their niece’s neighbor’s dog walker’s lobotomy. Bruh IDGAF, go be useful and drink bleach.

People in a casino that you don't know plopping down next to you suddenly chatting away are at a lot of times up to something bad.
So I am at my local casino the other day and have to use the mens room. I look for a stall and the seats are covered in piss and the floors have puddles. What the hell is wrong with people. If you are too shy to piss in the urinal at least have the decency to lift the damn toilet seat and if you can't aim accurately enough to hit the hole sit down to pee like a woman!!
They've been doing it all their lives, they ain't gonna change.Quote: vegasPet Peve: Mens public washrooms

Upthread issues:
Would you prefer a morose or robotic attendant show up at your locked-up slot machine?
Some people like to chat with other slot players and some people like to distract them, though its no longer for their bucket of quarters but it could be for a handbag or something. I usually do the "I'm terribly sorry but I don't speak a word of English" routine unless they are young and attractive in which case I usually offer to do it for free if they need the practice.
I've no particular liking for the sirens and klaxon sound tracks on slot machines but that "casino buzz" it what the casino uses to make its money. Back in the days of quarters falling into metal bins, the bins were kept a bit loose so the sounds would reverberate more. Its all marketing.
chip vending machines? No way. Counterfeit chips can be a big problem and its usually humans who catch them being used. The machinery for detecting counterfeit chips is too unreliable to put a machine out there that dispenses cash or a ticket when chips are thrown into it. A nervous shifty-eyed fleastiff-type twerp will put a cashier on the alert, but a vending machine's innards can't be primed like that.

Even worse is when they do that in the handicapped stalls.
I have made it my mission to tip lavatory attendants when I see them cleaning in the lav. They seem to genuinely appreciate tips. I don't get that about men that aren't careful where they piss either. I hate it when I can hear the stickiness on the bottom of my shoes when I move my foot and it goes crick crick as I walk away. And I definitely rate restaurants on the cleanliness of their bathrooms. Partly why I drink McDonalds coffee when on the road.Quote: vegasPet Peve: Mens public washrooms

Quote: rxwineSpeaking of bathrooms, also hate when people leave toilet unflushed.
I agree. The worst design ever in a toilet are the self flush with no other way to flush them. If you don't trip the auto flush beam it doesn't get flushed. Some toilets have auto slush and also a button you can press. The ones with no button to flush are disgusting

What I've never understood is that you actually have to make an effort to make a mess in a bathroom.
Your pee stream is a precise stream of liquid, and through virtue of gravity your penis is already pointing down and in the direction of the large gaping hole you have to pee in. HOW DO YOU MISS?
If you're not standing, you're sitting, and all of your waste producing orifices are LITERALLY INSIDE THE PERIMETER OF THE TOILET BOWL.
These people are somehow going out of their way and causing themselves more work to miss the toilet and make a mess.
Quote: TigerWuWhat I've never understood is that you actually have to make an effort to make a mess in a bathroom.
Maybe it's distantly related to male dogs who have to piss on every tree they pass.
Some sinks, the nozzle or whatever you call it that shoots out water is too close to the sink bowl, so to get your hands in the water stream they have to pretty much rub up against the sink bowl.
Also seems like all public bathroom toilets have the water pretty high. I think that’s an American thing, so I definitely support it (according to Europeans, they freak out about it), but kind of annoying when your trouser snake has to go swimming unintentionally. :/
Oh, and when there’s no damn vape shelf or jacket hook in a stall. Like bruh what am I supposed to do with all my stuff?
Quote: RSSeems like some casino bathrooms are using a new type of shifty hand soap. This new soap is kind of oily and it feels really weird. It’s almost like olive oil, doesn’t feel like it’s getting your hands clean (it probably is, but it’s annoying).

Tuck it.
Male urine and stale French fry oil is what ALL casinos would smell like if it weren't for that Fig Tree Oil and other miracles of mechanical ventilation systems.
Upscale casinos do have advantages. More space and better designs in the bathrooms.

Less work for bartender as he isn't fumbling around for different glasses. Knocking seven a few seconds off per drink adds up when you have hundreds of bartenders working.
Quote: RigondeauxCasinos, like the Nugget, that serve hot drinks in a glass. Coffee in a glass? Why?
Also, if they only have mugs, and they have drink holders on the tables like most places do, the coffee mugs won't fit in the holders.
They get tired of spills, so they only serve drinks in glasses that fit the holders they have.
I am usually successful in getting around that by asking for a paper cup. Most places have those and you usually get more in them. IDK about GN specifically though.
commercial breaking into a house and

were two White guys about 40, cause
that's most common demo of who
does home invasions.
Networks are terrified to show any
minority actually committing a crime.
They don't want to trigger any particular
group, But it's perfectly fine to make them
White, they're the truly evil ones.

Why does their race/age matter? It doesn't have anything to do with the product or service being advertised.

If their race doesn't matter, why
are they always White? Why
aren't they every race?

Again, you're asking the same question
I am. Why does their age/race matter
so much that the people who make
commercials only portray White guys
as the crooks.
I was broken into three times in Calif
and I caught them the 3rd time,
They were teens and neither of them
was White. Here's another one:

Because it's purposely misleading.
When it's house shopping or applying
for a car loan, or big appliance shopping,
they show every race
under the sun, married to every
other race. When it's crime, it's
always white grown men. I
would say 'almost always' but
I've yet to see one where it
wasn't a white guy.
