Quality thread guys. Found it when I was searching for something else so thought I'd post my story.

My wife was at a local bowling arcade for a works "team bonding experience" thing. I didn't want her walking home alone so I went down there to meet her but she wasn't finished so I headed to the arcade bit. Normally, I stick to the machines I know, especially if I'm not playing for long but on this night, they were either in use or I didn't know it so I thought I'd spend a few quid and learn a new one.

Hadn't been on 5 minutes when this "helper" appeared behind me. Offering not at all useful advice so when it held three times on two melons (£10 on a £25 jp machine), put me onto feature board and started flashing red, his not needed advice of "it doesn't normally win that high unless it's giving you the jackpot" really had me fuming.

I hadn't acknowledged him, spoken to him or even looked at him (aside from seeing if it was my wife standing behind me when he first walked up) so when I did get the jp, I got ready to walk away, especially as the party had finished so my wife was ready to go.

As I did so, the cheeky beggar asked for something "for his help" so I said I could see my way to buy him a drink if only because drinks weren't allowed in the arcade and it'd stop him bothering anyone else for a while when he told me he didn't really drink.

My response was "oh, that's too bad", took my wifes hand and walked out of the bowling alley with her and her colleagues, giving him a cheeky wave through the window as we walked passed it.

Ah, good times!
