I'll second that - and have you ever noticed that those women always seem to be accompanied by guys who apply their cologne/aftershave with a ladle, so you get the double whammy? Course, neither one will ever notice how bad they smell since od'ing on the stink juice tends to destroy their sense of smell!
....... when I'm the only one sitting in a long empty row of Video Poker machines,

and then some #@@*&?% sits down right next to me ........................................ and lights up a cigarette. LIKE ?????

Screaming, crying, children in a buffet or restaurant. They usually show up shortly after we are seated.
This happens to me every time I am playing VP in Atlantic City. I am playing my machine having a smoke and people have the balls to come up and ask if I can spare a smoke. at $8.50 a pack I feel like telling them to go buy their own but a always give in. Then they come back later and ask for another one. Go get your own and stop bothering me.

Reply back that you'll trade them a smoke for a spin. Once they give you $1.25, then give them a smoke. If they can afford to play VP, then they can afford their own smokes.

Ask for either a cheeseburger or a drink in exchange for a smoke. A cheeseburger should run about the same as a pack and a drink should run the same as a single smoke.
