Probably always. I used to play (if you can call it that) with augie on-line. He would sit at four tables and never play a hand. He used to do this over and over. He is worthless.

Why would you get to keep the 100 if you fold? That's wrong.

It took two to take this minor misunderstanding to a douchefest.

So what should I do?

[/ QUOTE ]

This is an easy one. There was a turning point:

[ QUOTE ]
A few hands go by and I shove an 1100 stack over two limpers and count and cut out all of my chips on the table. all fold to the 2nd limper who starts to think. while he's thinking, the dealer starts explaining to me, "see, now i'm going to take your 75 in, take his 75 in, and leave the raise out there for him to call."

[/ QUOTE ]

<snip>

At this point you say "K, thanks." She drops it, you drop it, and life goes on.

If you can't bring yourself to thank her, just say "OK." That should cover it.

Sounds like a typical arguement I had with my mother when I was 10 years old.

mom: "Don't argue with me."
chube: "I wasn't arguing mom, I was just saying..."
mom: "Don't raise your voice with me."
chube (in a normal voice): "I didn't raise my voice, I ..."
mom: "There. You are doing it again."
chube (slightly raised voice): "I was not!"
mom: "See! I will not tolerate your behavior."
chube: <leaves room in frustration>

Point is... I was 10. I soon learned when to cut my losses, and that it doesn't matter who was rude first or whatever. Sure the dealer was a bit snarky with you. Big deal. Get over it and let the game go on. If she persists, have a chat with her boss at the break.

She went too far, but I think you clearly take the blame for it escalating to that point.

Up until the point where she asked the old guy to tell you something, she hadn't done anything rude. By that time, you had accused her of being rude twice.

Seconded. Dealer made a mistake, was an ass about it, but then OP blew it way out of proportion. STFU and wait for the down to be over.

LOL. That is what I thought. At that point the dealer should have had your ID checked because you are acting like an 11 year old.

PLAYER: What just happened?

DEALER: (explains what just happened)

PLAYER: (looks confused)

DEALER: (explains more slowly and patiently)

PLAYER: I'M NOT STUPID! I know perfectly well what just happened!

DEALER: (thinks, "WTF is this guy's problem? He says 'What just happened?', and when I try to answer his question, he yells at me. Now he says he knows perfectly well what he just asked me to explain. Did he do all this just to pick a fight with me? Me, the employee, the one person at the table who's not allowed to tell him to STFU? What a monumental jerk.")
