Can we please stop with the "Man-Spread" at the tables?
When sitting at a full table, the person next to the "man-spreader" has the pleasure of feeling the encroaching stranger-leg against theirs. What is even worse is when the "man-spreader" does this while sitting almost sideways on their chair facing their neighbor. While wearing sweats. Special. 😄

This.
It can be quite painful to sit other ways. Politely let the person know and I'm sure they'll give you some room.
Quote: RogerKintIm with the op on this. If your junk is so big that you can't sit like a gentleman, don't play at a full table. I've seen our president sit with his legs crossed and would hate to think our commander-in-chief has a micro.
But it's incredibly hard to sit cross legged at a table anyways. Plus learning forward while sitting that way makes it difficult to lean forward.
Quote: NorthJerseyGirlJust an FYI, I'm talking about the ones that really have their legs open wide. I've sat next to many men who don't sit like that or make adjustments if they bump me and realize then they are encroaching. If you feel yourself touching your neighbors leg, especially a woman's, lets bring 'em in a bit. That's all I'm saying. Doesn't apply to all men.
Yeah, if these guys are using it as an excuse to touch you then I think something needs to be said to the Pit Boss. Their right to be creepy ends at the tip of your leg. I wouldn't put up with any harassment.
Obviously every situation is going to be different so one's best judgment is at play.

Like the op said just bring em in a bit, John Holmes.

Lord knows it's such a thrill to make
contact with a woman's leg with your
own leg when your gambling.
Not..
The fact you're thinking about that scares me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYt18TgkVYwQuote: RogerKintIm with the op on this.

I'll wager Michelle has bigger junk than Barack.
I think my Browser is racist or something, nothing related to Obama came up. I got a bunch of white comedians like Dangerfield, Caparulo, FoxworthyQuote: RogerKint

Did you ever see Brittney Griner? Did you ever hear her? Go ahead and google.

Yes. I know Brittney. He's a real bad ass on the court.
And his deep voice makes him sound even more bad ass during a post game interview.

Touching others at a table is part
of gambling. If you don't like it, YOU
should be the one to go elsewhere.

This must be one of the hidden rules in the casino handbook we never get to see.
Quote: mcallister3200I also hate when other players ask me if they can play my trips/pair plus/blackjack sidebets. I always say no because those bets slowing the games to a crawl is frustrating, then they act like I'm the jerk and point it out when It would have won.
I let them. Sometimes they "tip" you when they win.
Its a Gay overture.Quote: NorthJerseyGirlWe have a term here on the East Coast which refers to the habit some men have of sitting with their legs spread apart, in a "V" shape. It's called "man-spread".
Usually it has nothing to do with junk size, but hip size.Quote: RogerKintIf your junk is so big that you can't sit like a gentleman....
Women have wider hips for a reason, but it also makes it easier to sit comfortably with legs crossed. Or at least with legs straight.
Men generally have narrower hips, which makes sitting with legs spread more comfortable, as well as more natural.
Have you ever seen a man sit with legs crossed where it's actually just ankles crossed and knees apart? That doesn't solve the problem, but at least the man can say his legs are crossed....

I'm sure there is a scientific way to test all ideas here, but until that happens, I believe I will withhold any firm conclusion.
Something for these people to get to work on.

this is specifically the situation that I always say no in. If they can place the bet on my spot it's not as bad but I still don't like the intrusion. But when they have to hand me chips, whether above or below the table, and I have to place it and give them the wins every hand, total pain especially when I prefer not to acknowledge the existence of other players at the table.Quote: 1BBSomeone can still hand you the money
