Why do you think I should not be annoyed? If one is NOT sitting at
the machines, that is an annoying sound. Does my being annoyed bother
you? Why? Does it infringe on your right to sit at those machines?
Does it make you feel guilty or something? Can't I say that something
annoys me without you telling me that I shouldn't be bothered? Why
not?


WHOA!! You're the one who is bothered by the so called noise from the slot
machines...not me.

You wrote "Why would you be annoyed?.." Completely disrespecting my
opinion and attempting to say that it was my fault for being where I
could hear it. That is unacceptable

.nor does your annoyance bother me! I just find your
annoyance at someone's good luck amusing, especially since you are not even
in the casino! It sure does not make me guilty for enjoying something that
seems to annoy you when you can do something to avoid it.

I have never been in the casino except when I was forced by the layout
to walk through it, so I did not know that was the "good luck" noise.
I didn't even know that it was slot machines (which I presume that it
is). And I'm NOT annoyed at someone's good luck.

Although I'm sure the ships wouldn't continue to do the casino if they
weren't making a profit, so I think the 'good luck' is more an
illusion than reality in the long run. Of course, the most difficult
to extinguish behaviors are those with intermittent reinforcement like
slot machines where you only win occasionally.

Not annoyed that someone wins. Just annoyed at the accompanying
noise.

It is an annoying noise.

It's music to my ears! ;-)

I don't care what you think about it - it is annoying. And I find it
amusing, but sad, that you think it is 'music'.
