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

Here's where you can rant about the stupid crap people do while playing DDR at the arcade.

Here's my top 6 list.

1) Playing barefoot. We've covered that in another thread already.
2) Wiping sweaty hands all over the screen while selecting songs. Having to wipe greasy handprints off the machine after someone plays is disgusting.
3) People not cleaning up after themselves. If you want to bring a towel, water bottle, stack of paper towels, windex, drinks, food, whatever, don't leave it around after you're done. Nobody else wants to clean up your sweaty paper towels, partially consumed drinks, or partially eaten food and wrappers. Be considerate for once.
4) People who stand too close while playing. Nothing makes me want to suddenly "swing out my arms wildly to catch my balance," than when somebody stands like 3 inches away from the platform.
5) People who attempt to carry on a conversation with you.. WHILE YOU'RE PLAYING DDR. "Hey, what song is that?!" "Uh.. Matsuri Japan *pant*" "Wow, that looks hard!" "*pant* Yeah, it's difficult." "So, how long have you been playing." "*pant* GO FUCK OFF YOU SCRUB WAIT UNTIL I'M FINISHED"
6) People who like stand two inches from you and hang over your shoulder while you're finishing your game. Like, wait a second for me to get my memory card and take my stuff before hanging over my shoulder getting all huffy because I'm taking too long to get off the stage, you doggy.

That's my list.

SMOKING...while playing!

I've been one place where this was permitted. It defies logic that you would want to smoke while exerting yourself physically anyway. But to subject others to it?!

Yay! A one-size-fits-all thread that lets me condense all the crap "Hey look at me!" threads down into one place without worrying about people arguing technicalities of differences between threads!

I hate it when strangers laugh at noobs. I mean, they've gotta start somewhere, and just because they suck in the beginning doesn't mean you should laugh at 'em.

Also, people near me eating. Don't know why, it just pisses me off if I'm doing a hard song and some fat-boy's cramming a Crispy Crunch down his throat.... probably just me.

Worst thing is when someone is good and they KNOW they are good and have to rub it in everyone's face. Then when u switch places and they tell you how much you suck and how they AAA'd the song youre playing on on thier first try.

people putting a coin up on the line and going to do something else and forgetting they put it there/just leaving it there. its understandable if youre like 6 games back, but if youre next, and people have to sit around waiting for you so they dont take your turn, thats not cool.

Peaple who pick the same song three three three times in a row. It's boring enough to have to wait through a beginner mode game, and having to listen to some pop song 3x in a row just makes me want bang my head on the wall. Can't say I didn't do it once when I first started..

i know this guy who will come up and "shadow", dance on the unused pad, and make up freestyle moves like spins to seem better than the person playing but when i went up to the pad on his turn he started shouting "don't shadow me" so i dont look better. and then he plays the same 3 songs each time he plays so he seems really good. its so annoying.

Well last time when was playing at the arcade on thursday, a bunch of stupif kids were standing outside the glass window thing while I was doing LoM. I didn't mind it much but I noticed they weremocking me so once I got the freeze I flicked them off XD That's the only thing that's ever really gotten to me. Everything else I just ignore unless it's really severe.

1. People playing without shoes.
2. People who try to converse with you while your playing.
3. People asking to shadow in the middle of a song.
4. People jumping in and shadowing without asking.
5. Assholes who put in 6 tokens, play a game, fail, then suddenly press the button before you put your tokens in and take your game (I actually had an bumhole do this to me at VCC, you know who you are: F*** YOU)

Trying to avoid repeats...

Noobs who stomp on the pad as hard as they can.

People who add to the coin line or swipe their card or load tokens while you're in the middle of a song.

People who encourage you in the most cheesy-ass way possible.

i think i'd have to agree with rampage...all six of them...but my most is when they stand 3 inches or less away from you WHILE u do the song, and after every song you have to tell them...please get yourself off of the back...oh and another one...where you have to tell them to quit trying to change from light-standard, standard-heavy, etc...its annoying...when they double tap that back arrow...ugh lol...the ppl who have done it to me, do not have feet anymore...i wonder why...............lolol jk

I hate when people just randomly step on arrows as hard as they can. It doesn't matter if they're actually playing or not, it still destroys the pads.

People that stomp as hard as they can
People that shadow and get me offbeat
People that talk to me when I'm playing
Little kids that step on my arrows and cry when I stomp on their feet
People that get so close that I hit them if I get off balance

I hate it when people ask me for money.
I hate it when people try to pick my song for me (literally get up there and try to press the selection button on a song I don't want)
I hate it when people stalk me
I hate it when people don't know what NO means

Okay, so all that was what one person does constantly, but DAMN KID! GIVE ME A BREAK HERE!
