I am an ass.
Mods: I'm not sure if I got this in the right area. If it's placed wrong, could you move it please? Thanks!
So, this past Friday night, I was an ass. Wife and I go to a local pub every Friday night, have done so for a couple years now. About 6 or 9 months ago, they got a new jukebox in of a variety called "Touch Tunes". It was advertising periodically about their "My Touch Tunes" app available on Android and iOS. I installed it on my phone, and we use it fairly often.
Basically, we can do all the same things from my phone that we can do if we walk over to it and put money in. Select songs, "play next", etc. We have to be there to do it (it won't let me be at home and manage that jukebox, for instance), but that's not exactly a restriction for me.
This past Friday night, we had sat down, and I decided to put some music in. First song I had chosen was "Don't Rock The Jukebox" since I was in very much a country mood. Well, I was doing the search, waiting to hit "Play", when this guy from a biker group walked over to the device to hit play on his own stuff. I managed to get my first choice in and they were surprised when the music began before he'd manage to select anything.
And that's when the fun began. I had put in all the songs I was going to play, and one of his group members started complaining about how much country this jukebox was playing. Finally my selections were done, and theirs began to play. My evil side perked up.
See, the one guy in their group was complaining about country a lot. I started interspersing songs in their playlist. I would figure out which song to play next, and use extra credits to cause my choice to play next. As a result, they'd get one song off their list, and then I'd have one queued up, back and forth for a long while. I queued up such songs as Weird Al's "Achy Breaky Song", Rednex "Cotton Eyed Joe", Lady Gaga "Poker Face", Bon Jovi "Blaze of Glory", and Travis Tritt "Here's A Quarter".
These guys could not figure out what was going on. The one who hates country was claiming that the one who put songs in had put these in just to screw with him. The one who had set up the playlist was swearing he didn't do it. Neither of them could figure out who put these songs in, since no one else approached the jukebox.
Now, to mitigate it slighty, I actually enjoy all the songs we played. It was just amusing listening to them try to figure out what was going on. Best use of extra credits *ever*
Oh, and cookies for the reference about me being an ass...
