Playing at TI one night a player in the 5 seat says "spread the pot, please". Dealer replies "I can't". Player immediately reaches out and does it himself. Dealer suggests the player shouldn't be putting his hands into the pot. A few hands later, same player reaches out and spreads the pot without asking. Dealer tells him to knock it off. A few hands later, the player spreads the pot again. The dealer looked like he was somewhat torn between wanting to cry, and wanting to punch this guy.
Holy cow, whether on the floor or in the box, this moron would
a) be lucky to still have a hand left after the FIRST
attempt at touching the pot during a hand
and,
b) would be lucky if he wasn't kicked out immediately. certainly after the first warning the second would be
escorted out the door by security
Seriously, this kind of crap is what pisses me off to the point of near tilt. Why on earth would a dealer allow this to happen EVER, let alone three times, without calling the floor? The incompetence is so staggeringly overwhelming it just makes me want to go postal on the entire casino poker management world, because it's THEIR FAULT that this extreme incompetence is more the rule now than anything else. It's just not acceptable, period. Her allowing this a-hole to get away with this crap just sets a horrible precedent and lets this jerk spread douchebaggery and stupidity further and wider than ever before.
Really, I've about lost my patience with these jerks. I suggest when this happens at my table, whether I'm a player or dealer or even the floor, that whoever is around covers up the children's ears and puts their hands over their eyes, because
it's not going to be pretty.
