Re: Playing a Freezer
'old lady','hobbled away', 'biddie's bankruptcy', really nice when decribing an older person, just because they 'stole' your machine. i can think of some choice words to describe those who talk about others that way.

I see " my " machine empty from a distance and head over toward it,
someone appears out of a black hole as if beamed there by
Scotty himself and grabs the machine. Under my breath, I will mutter
words if my mom heard, would have resulted in an entire bar of soap
being stuffed in my mouth In my case, it is not directed toward the
person, just the event itself.Yep. I made considerable effort to get to that casino and have a very limited time in town. It's a horrible feeling. Middle of the night interloper would probably have set me off. Anyway, I just walk away from the scene now. Sorry to be such a lightning rod.

Isn't it ironic that DaBurglar picked on only my response and not Phils?Only you would find this ironic.....floridaphil does not go miles out of his way (figuratively speaking) to harass, pick apart, derail, and otherwise wreck the vast majority of my posts and threads for no good reason whatsoever, whereas YOU (TEDLARK) do, and anyone who has been reading this forum the last several years KNOWS this to be true......furthermore, if you bother to read my actual post, I am not defending or supporting FAA harboring actual feelings for senior citizens that are negative, nor is using "biddy" a good thing.......I just "get" the fact he was frustrated, and being a reasonable and empathetic (not sympathetic, EMPATHETIC) person I do not see the need for skewering him in the way you did given your posting history....Ever been cut off on the highway or on a road? did you ever mutter or even yell something that was, in and of itself, highly offensive or inflammatory to someone??? Rhetorical question.......the answer of course is YES, we all have. does not make us the embodiment of evil nor mean that we are 100% about the actual threat or insult or whatever negative thing(s) we exclaimed in a moment of frustration.....this can apply to ANY situation in life where we are seemingly "inconvenienced or otherwise thwarted" in some area or action that we are attempting to do something and someone inadvertently (or not?) gets in the way......someone cuts in line, someone TAKES forever at the checkin/checkout line, someone uses the last <insert whatever> and there are no more to be had for a long period of time, etc etc etc. We all get P.O.'d and momentarily think and/or communicate something antisocial.....that's called being human.....I might agree with the thought that FAA's putting it in writing on this internet forum was not the best thing to do, but he did so not trying to piss off anyone or offend anyone, but instead he was just sharing his experience(s) with people he assumed would at least have a clue as to what he was getting at, NOT jump all over him....again, he was looking for EMPATHY, not sympathy..... Of course, IF FAA Habitually writes and express pointlessly hostile or antisocial or insulting posts that seemingly "offend" some group of people or some individual, I will be the first to chastise and complain, but that is not the case here.....Postscript: What IS definitely IRONIC is how, in the past on this forum, certain individuals have expressed disdain for what they think is society's pressure on individuals to be "politically correct" and that there are far too many "VICTIMS" out there in society who are looking for sympathy, or (figuratively speaking) "free rides" or some form of help they neither deserve or warrant. And yet here we have those same individuals getting upset over application of a term like "biddy" in the midst of an otherwise innocuous post! AGain....H Y P O C R I T E

Have I ever been cut off in traffic? Yes. Have I spoken some negativity toward the person who cut me off? Yes. The difference here is: I did it IN THE PRIVACY OF MY OWN VEHICLE." I did not post it in an open forum on the internet. By the way; biddy was the least offensive thing I found in the original post. DaBurglar you have offended far more people here than the original poster has, or ever will.

Besides you, which does not count.....and "Doris" who is offended by the mere mention of my name or the fact that I like visiting "HER" town and playing, dining, and staying in "HER" town (AC)........who else have I honestly offended? Please provide specifics including the actual proof that you have that said person was in fact ... "offended".....

The casino in question doesn't even offer full pay JOB at the quarter level. I don't know why I have been so hell bent on playing there in the first place! Until this condition improves, a pipe dream, I will pass. The very rationale for my subsequent irrational reaction does not stand scrutiny . Sorry to have wasted everyone's time. At least this crystallizes just how crappy the venue actually is for me. Card, meet scissors.
