Going down to the Casina

So tonight I went out to Lucky Star Casino and then to Newcastle Gaming Center with my Cousin, Melissa. Oh, and before I launch into my story, Lucky Star SUCKS. It has terribly boring games and it is Waaaaaaaay the heck out there in the "thriving metropolis" of Concho, Oklahoma. That being said, Newcastle's slots are really tight as well. If you really want to have fun at a casino, you have to go up to Cherokee Casino in Tulsa. Loose slots and pretty of space to move around.

Anyhoo, people have no sense of boundaries at casinos. Now granted, I know that we are not at The Venetion or Caesar's, we are at a small casino on Indian land, but these places are cramped. Well, I have decided that there should be an etiquette - a kind of unspoken set of rules among casino goers. I "loathe entirely" these people who feel that they need to stand beside the slot machine of their friend/spouse and in doing so, shove their arse into your space...

I go back to the movie Dirty Dancing (the movie my husband hates and I adore for many reasons, namely one) - when Johnny tells Baby "this is my dance space, this is your dance space, you don't come into mine, I don't come into yours".

FELLOW CASINO PATRONS: When I am at a slot machine feeding it my money I am basically renting that space for my said amount of time - it is MY slot machine space - you stay in YOUR space. What is the freaking issue with just standing BEHIND your friends chair? OH - and "excuse me" will get you really far as well when you bump into someone with a full cup of hot coffee.

Tonight, this guy felt that it was OK to rest his Kolos (as we say in Greece) on my cousin's side tonight as he watched his wife blow a $20 on the machine next to her. And there was this other guy that felt that it was ok to hit on me as I played a nickel slot... all up in my space and everything. What is wrong with people??? Gross.

We did have fun overall... I don't mean to sound like a drag. I really like going to the casino. As long as you don't expect to come out with hands full of loot you can really have a good time.

Ok, I am done... Have I bored you enough? I just had to vent. People can be so freaking rude. So what pet peeves do you have about people? Anyone??
