    So, I'm at a certain happiest place on earth and head over to Indy. I wrangle 4 quarters out of my pocket and arrive at the machine just as another guy and his girl arrive as well. I concede that they have gotten there first and stand back from the machine to allow the other couple to play. The guy rustled through his wallet, and girlfriend's purse but can't find enough quarters. He looks around, sees me standing with 4 quarters (which I show him) waiting to play and gets his girl to put their bags on top of the machine and stand there while he goes make change. While he's gone she refuses to acknowledge me and after a few minutes he returns, slides past me and puts in 2 credits, and plays both himself. I need a ruling, Fair, Foul or am I just easily irritated?

    Quoted from EMsInKC:

    You should have crop dusted him and walked off.

    Quoted from Whysnow:

    I would have asked you to play along, but that is how I roll.
    Could have met a new friend? Instead they just soured you. Next time, I suggest asking them to play 3 player and see how it goes. Never know, it could have become a fun night and given you a good story to tell

    Honestly, If I'd had enough quarters I would have offered first to make change for him, or just flat out payed for enough credits for us all to play. Way more fun playing with others anyways. Guy put up a fairly respectable first ball, especially on that machine ( broken POA diverter, weak flippers), didn't stick around to watch his next ball 1.
