I am playing VP at a local casino. It's not very crowded. A guy sits down at the game next to me. Now, as I always do because I have a bad back from 40 years of hockey, I stand up and continue playing. I see out of the corner of my eye the guy keeps giving me dirty looks. Finally he says "sit down--you're annoying me".
I look over and say "what?". He starts yelling at me that my standing is distracting him and I should "sit the fuck down". I think about engaging with him but instead just ignore him. Also, I am getting good cards so I don't just walk away. Now I feel a sneeze coming and I turn my head completely away from him to the other side and sneeze into my sleeve. Now he starts screaming at me about washing my hands after I sneeze so I don't spread germs.
At this point I look at him and ask him if he really wants to start something here. He says he does. I'm a lover, not a fighter I tell him. He F bombs me a few more times. So I call my friend who let's just say is a debt collector, and ask him to stop by. He says is there trouble--I say maybe.
My friend comes and sits down next to me. The guy turns green when he sees this gorilla and cashes out and goes elsewhere.
Long story to a short question---is it really distracting to another player if I switch between standing and sitting every 10 minutes or so?
