Watchers over your shoulder

[kendodd]

What do you say to discourage people munters or staff who look over your shoulder when you are playing?

In the past I've used a routine that seemed to work pretty often:

I'd say: "Excuse me, if you want to watch, I sell tickets. Fiver a time."

If they don't shift, I add: "If you want to ask questions, it's a tenner."

Finally I say "If you want to know how to win, it's £20." I turn back to the machine and do a Columbo exit, turning back: "By the way, If I tell you, I'll have to kill you."

Of course, if the bastards bigger than me, I let it go and just cussed under my breath. I might manage a "Do you mind, you make me nervous."

i usually just stop and turn and look directly at them till they bugger off. of course if there are a couple of you then you can quite easily block any view they may have. 'can i help you' usually encourages people to make a swift exit as well.

just start muttering about "i'm going to kill them all". and "no why should i hit him?...don't make me do it..." usually works for me and the every time i go in the place. Just dont be too loud.

Besides why do people look directly over people shoulders? you can usuall get a clear view from an bit away and assuming the place is not too noisey you can get an idea how much had gone in/out uasing your ears and time person is no machine/goes for change.

if ne1 watches me i usualy say "do u wanna play this?" if yes say"well go to the 1 round the corner" if no they will bugger off!!

just a simple fuck off usually does the trick for me. speaking of which some twat has been watching me on the dnp, and gambled it to the top without a set, up didnt use a single nudge, is this some kind of scam that has slipped by me, and you dont need a set up, or was it that it still had another in it after he did it.

[cfdu]

prob just had another one in it. you never know whoever was watching may have pumped it to get it to go to show off to his mates, and not really known how to do it prop. was it backing or obviously on one by giving loads of hotlifts and frequent entry?

[rolyjoely]

no not down the back, when i was watchng him i was thinking happy days, probably got two in it, as he was playing it like a battle axe, saving the nudges for a good nearest win, or for loco hold, but no the twat gambled it to the top,

[chris_nairn]

i would probably grab them by the throat n stick them through the machine next to the one i was playing god damn freaks gimme a break.

you ave watchers and then you have the annoying fucker that says "thats my money your winning" or summat like that. though it does give some satisfaction when you tell them, well if you had any clue you wouldn't have lost it in the first place.

Tell the bastard. . . "If I find your name on it, I'll give it to you!"
