What do people do while playing DDR that really angers you?

[rsr2]

One time i was at the local arcade playing ddr. After about a hour i went to take a break i came back about 1/2 hour later. I went up and started playing. These 4 freaky looking kids come in and sat down on a racing game machine and watched me. They kept on saying up down left right and you suck a lot. So when i got done playing my song i forgot what it was. I went over to them and i said hey y dont get your asses up there and see how good you can do. They weren't to happy they were like you suck and everything and i gave one of them a doller to play the game. He goes up and he failed a beginner song. I said you think i suck look at you. Then they get mad and told the manager on me. Good thing is that the manager is best friends with my dad. he didn't do anything he laughed and walked off. So the 4 kids walk off. They never showed up since that day.

Lol it was the only way for one of them to play. O well i got a good laugh from it

There isn't really a problem of people making fun of players, players get a lot more respect where I play. They see me doing Saints go Marching, CSFILSM, even freckles, and you can see their jaw drop and eyes widen.

seems like non players respect the people who play :-/

I hate it when people sit there and mess with your level while you're trying to choose a song.

I have a question, not to start an argument but, What's the big deal with people playing barefoot? Is it really disgusting or something? I play all the time, but it's not because I want to--I just don't own any tennis shoes, and I have no money to buy any for awhile. I do hate, however, when people complain that their feet hurt afterwards or they're going to get blisters in the morning. >.<

When people choose the same song 12309849028 times because they 'like' it. THEN GO PLAY IT AT HOME!! >.<

When people leave their trash. I don't like picking up their crap and--I don't even work at the arcade! I can't until I'm 21! *is only 17* XD

When people say they don't like it and when you ask if they've tried it, they're all like, 'No'. Wtf!? >.<

That is all. XD

Most arcades ban bare feet (and many have signs on the machines saying something like "clean, dry footwear must be worn at all time -- no bare feet, socks, sandals, slippers, or high heels") because of liability issues of people cutting their feet, bleeding on the pads, and spreading diseases to other users of the pad. Even if you don't wind up cutting your foot on the metal, it's still quite likely to give or get Athlete's Foot or other infections. Also, sweat and foot grime working its way down under the panels will gum up the sensors. Shoes don't neccessarily solve this because they often have grime of their own that'll wind up getting ground into the pad, but it's better than nothing.

People who jump on the machine and f**k around while you're picking your song. First, they are just plain rude. Second, (and this has happened to me before) they might inadvertantly activate mods you dont want without them (or you) realizing it.

^ Yeah, thats why I use pennies instead of tokens or quarters. That way if I do have my penny stolen (which it has been by many children), I dont really care. I still yell at them, though. Because I like yelling at kids, because they suck.

Edit* TEH ZOMG IM A TRIK MEMBAR LOLZ

The whole 'token-being-stolen' happened to me in Florida. This guy got off and there were like 4 tokens on the machine, and he picks em up and starts to leave. XD
My MOTHER yelled at him (I was surprised she knew what a coinline was), and then this kid that worked at the MIB ride that was there made him hand them over. And I was up next.
Ok, onto the things that annoy me.

1) Yes, I hate when people do not know what a coinline is.
2) I hate it when little kids go up and pick your songs, or stomp on your arrows. I ask them to stop nicely a few times, but after the third time, I turn around and say, 'knock it off,' and their mothers end up hootin' and hollerin about how they don't know better.
3) My friend does it, but I don't like when people play with bare feet.
4) I hate when people shadow you without asking you or just kinda in the middle of a song.
5) I hate it when people laugh at you because you miss a couple steps, or you got a C on Love-heart-Shine on Heavy. But when they go up there, they fail on beginner.
6) I hate it when ONE person keeps putting in tokens when they can CLEARLY see other people waiting to play (there's a guy at the arcade I go to that does that).
7) When people hold onto the bar that aren't playing. I need to use it and their hand's on it.
8) Again, when people try talking to you while you're playing.
9) When they mess with your difficulty and/or pick a song you don't want and don't hold the damn button long enough to go to the options menu.
10) Again, when people stomp and/or play in boots. The arrows don't need to be broken, thank you very much.
11) And this actually happened to my friend Vicky. They just replaced the DDR Extreme at the arcade with an In The Groove 2 (needless to say I was upset), and one of the arcade employees was on the machine. He put his key in, jiggled it around, and got free games. My friend was standing behind him the whole time, rubbing her coins together to see if she could get his attention, and then she finally asks him if she could go, and he lets her on. But as soon as she got off, he got back on.

Heres what I cant stand in the very least

Shadowing while your doing double and you have no choice but to push them off before they screw you up, if they havent already.

Holding on or resting on the bar while your playing

WALKING INBETWEEN THE PAD AND THE MACHINE WITHOUT EVEN SO MUCH AS A SORRY OR ATTEMPT TO DUCK

Machines whose coin door slots are jammed or suck badly

Parents who could care less about what their children do or get into, ie, crawling inbetween your feet while your playing (this happened to me last night, tripped over a little 2 year old who wandered away from her stroller, climbed up on the board right in between my feet, nearly landed on her, banged my head on the trick bar instead, parents got mad at ME, telling me I need to watch what im doing. I nearly lost it, I got so mad at them. )
