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

[MAAAX_himself]

people with dirty shoes playing before you.... and you have to sweep all the crud that their shoes left

[luan]

when people lean on the bar
when people lean over the bar
when kids are on your side of the pad, stepping on your arrows
when kids pick song and you dont have time to pick your difficulty
when people try to converse with you
when people steal your quarter from the token line, sad to say this happened twice.

[Skillz that Killz]

1. When noobs say that one or more of the arrows does not regester.
2. When people play in bare feet.
3. When noobs think that catas are easy just because you A, AA, or AAA them.
4. When you have just finished an incredebly tiring song and are taking a little 10 sec. break and people yell at you and call you out of shape and then they fail at light.
5. When overweight kids call you stupid for playing a dancing game when you are sweating horridly.
6. When fat people ask you how you have so much energy.
7. When people think that coin lines are 'not allowed'.
8. When noobs will not let you play versus mode with them because they think you will through them off beat.
9. When moms with their little kids make you teach them to play.
10. When little kids *cough*mybrother*cough* will not take the time to learn to play DDR and instead they get fat playing hand controller game.

somebody fails a song and blames it on my not cleaning the pad or breaking the pad or other bullshit.
somebody tries to look good by playing the 10/9 footer I just failed.
people who say I have BO after playing for a while...It's not like I'm denying it, but they shouldnt be surprised either.
who stand within my field of vision right next to me...so distracting.
republicans
People taking a dump on the pad . true story

When little kids go up on the pad while im playing after i tell them to get off a bunch of times. I crushed a 3 years foot because he kept jumpin on and off the pad

When people make fun of you for bringing things like rags or towels and stuff like that. I mean, comeon, everyone sweats!

[gaignun_jr_x]

I'm not annoyed with kids at all!
I find it funny when some of the kids like to imitate you while you are
playing (sometimes even moving onto your side of the dance pad, playing the game with YOUR credits) Sure, they fail and the credit is wasted. But it doesn't happen all the time.

What I found annoying was the 'DDR Group' in our local mall. They have this idea that the DDR machine is their property. They allow other people
to use the machine, but they place baby powder and other stuff to make
the pad slippery. So newbies or people who are not that good (me) make
a fool of themselves falling of the mat. I believe that they do it so that
others would be embarassed and never play there again. I may be wrong though, but the explanation came from another DDR player so it's probably true.

[Special_ned]

when people wait for 90 seconds at the song select screen, then at 2 seconds left, go into the options mode and wait another 40 seconds to start.

people that think they are gods becuase they are better than someone.

only 2 real things for me..

1. people who wreck the machine by jumping on it as hard as they can, i mean.. all you need is a tap :\

2. groups of people who think theyre cool, they laugh at you and try and impress their gf's.. who are usually dogs anyway ahhaha

[ZephyrGlaze]

Female DDR players. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there are a bunch of you women out there that don't do this--I've even played on the other side of some. But the vast majority of female DDR players can't pick a damn song. They just move around, quietly going 'hmm' to themselves for about the first 60 secons. For every song!

When people start singing Afronova out loud when I'm playing World Tour. >__<

[DigitalCyber]

people who let their 5 year old play and then the kid stomps on the pad. It sickens me to see their under appreciation for the machine. I feel like going up to the parent and saying "Why dont you go put your kid back in the ball pit!" And then I would strangle the kid and shake them and say "What the Hell is your malfunction?!" OK maybe I went a tad to far but that really ticks me off.

[tehmonkay]

How about when the arcade owners turn off the machine after your last song but dont let you see your score.

That and when you wanna' go alone and someone just puts their coins in and presses start even if you say you want to go alone.

The one thing that ever really annoyed me was when there were a bunch of little kids all messing around on the machine and they didn't know what they were doing, so when i went up to play, they all stood EVERYWHERE around me, even on the pad that i wasn't playing on, and i almost hit them and stepped on their feet because they were so close. Oh, that and when a machine is in such bad shape because people don't give a crap about playing with muddy shoes on, not cleaning up after themselves, etc. Ok, i'm done venting.

Matrix walks really don't work well on DDR... it just doesn't fit well with the pad layout... nor the machine since the buttons on the front are in the way

It works on Pump it Up or Technomotion though.

things I hate while playing DDR :

Bastards that mess with the arrows on the machine before you select something... they get a good kick in the buttocks for it...

[Chibi_Sven]

2 BIG ones
1- people who memorize one hard song but suck it up on every other song then they play it off like their the effing Jam. Thats effing Gay!

2- people ,essing with the arrows WHILE I'M PLAYING! I swear I stomped some 9 year old girls foot into a pancake while playing the other day, and I didn't even mean to, it kinda gave me a cruel satifaction though.

I swear, if you stomp on my pad one more time...

Dont blame the pad, you'll hurt it's feelings

[Edible Bondage Tape]

1. people that dont let me get my scores off the machine before the next somg it takes me 5 seconds to write down my quality spread and if yoru time is that valuble then dont waste it playing in the arcade

3. people who put in a sollar for versus play and cant tell the differnece between the huge picture of two people on the pad for versus and one big character on versus leaving me to have to dole out service tokens and try to explane what they did wrong
4. people who complaine when im working on my PA for a song and i play it several times in a row your gonna have to wait for my 3 songs no matter what so whats the big bother if you hear remember you 27 times over hte course of a few hours (yea i did that and still ddint get teh AA that day)
