  • Wherein I am cursed by a mute man

    This happened back when I was still at the casino I worked at (I miss that job). I had to leave it because I was waiting 2 or 4 hours every night to take a bus home (I get off at 2, busses stopped at 1:30, start at 4 am or 6 on sunday mornings) and because the casinos got themselves exempt from the smoking bylaws which would've made my life less miserable there.

    Anyways, I was at a blackjack table when this very red gentleman sat down.

    I'm not sure HOW to describe him. he wasn't red like 'american indian', nor was he sunburnt-red, or even 'very angry red'. He was just... red. I note this because I just found it very unusual. That's all.

    So he sits down at the table, I greet him with my cheerful smile and go back to dealing flourishingly (some people say I make it very dramatic and enjoy it. )

    So I deal out the cards. After a hand or two, Red Man as I will call him is not very happy. He starts muttering of course and getting grumpy. then he yells at me.

    Kind of.

    He yelled, he did all the right motions, but all that came out was a wheeze, although I'm VERY SURE he said 'F**** you!"


    I kind of ignored it, since he could have been muttering at the cards, but after a few more rounds of this it got pretty upsetting and he was QUITE angry it could be seen. I'm sure at one point I was 'screamed ' at and called a 'female dog' and other things, before he stalked off.

    Why didnt I say anything? Well, I dunno if my pit boss would've believed me if I told him this guy cursed at me while he was mute.

    I did tell the pit boss afterwards and told him I didnt want to deal to that gentleman anymore. luckily I didnt have to, although when I was in the no smoking room I did see him walk in, and I waved my PB over and pointd him out, telling him what had happened (Different pit boss) and that I didnt want to deal if he came to my table.

    Luckily, he didnt.

    So that's how I got cursed at by a mute.

    That is really bizarre. I wonder what pissed him off. If he walks around that angry all the time, his redness is probably a raging case of high blood pressure.

      Well, the cards weren't really going in his favor (IE, he was losing). that's understandable, to a POINT.

        More SC logic at its best.

        "Lessee.. I'm in a casino. It's a well known fact that the odds are in favor of the house, therefore I'm going to lose more than I win. Ah! I have it. If I 'scream' at the dealer, they'll take pity on me and deal me a winning hand! Yeah!"

        Then as the hands continue....

        "Wait a second... I'm not getting dealt winning hands. How dare they! I DID EVERYTHING RIGHT, I YELLED! TIME TO YELL SOME MORE!"

          Some autoimmune conditions can cause both red skin and difficulty speaking out loud.

            Autoimmune, that's where the immune systems' not working right?

            It does make sense, though I didnt know that. still no reason to curse, even mutely at the dealer.

              I'll admit I've before done things at casinos that could be considered sucky
              I've before joked after getting a hand that I'd like new cards or could I get a refund on that hand.... but I've tried to say it in a way that it is obvious that I'm joking and don't actually expect the dealer to give me a new hand or my money back (but I know it can seem awfully sucky)
              ... scarily enough though, some of those hands have turned out very well because I've held on a crappy number, the dealer hit and took a bust card (I love it when that happens).

                No, no, not an excuse at all, just a comment.

                Autoimmune conditions occur when the immune system basically turns on your body instead of fighting external disease. Then you get your own cells attacking your organs. It can have strange effects like turning one side of you green and one red, which happened to an online friend of mine. Very nasty stuff.

                    Niacin can turn you red, in some cases and in some doses.

                    And whatever the orange guy in House took, too.

                      An unusually large port-wine birthmark could've been the culprit, too. I had a high school classmate who had nearly half of her face covered with such a birthmark.

                      Still, the way he acted was bizarre, to say the least. Anyone who goes to a casino expecting (rather than hoping) to win is living in a fantasy world, and there's no point pitching a fit when you lose. It only makes you look like a major ass.
