Waiting for a fruit

Anyone got any good techniques to get on the fruit quickly when waiting? My personal record was4 hrs for a pie factory...
I was just waiting for a mega that was phoning for a 2 drinkers. Getting massively bored, I noticed they stopped playing it and one was waiting for the other on the phone. I asked them if they'd finished, to which they replied no. I said well in that case, get him off the phone, hurry up and get off it as I'm waiting for it! Never said anything like that to a casual player in my life and to my shock he said come on mate let's get off it! 5 minutes later I'm off it with an extra bullseye in my pocket :-)

Player or no player I'd have told him to fuck off aswell.
On the flip side I was playing a dead mans on Saturday. Some bloke was watching me so I turned round to let him know I knew he was there. He walked off. About 2 mins after I'd got it out, I was leaning on it chatting to my mate. He couldn't wait to get on it, and asked me if I'd finished. I assumed he was a travelling player, but I was wrong. He was a prunter(munter pretending he was a pro) and just started rowing it!!
As alan partridge once said 'needless to say, I had the last laugh!'

Nice one kong, that is brilliant!
I'm not generally confrontational (in fact I'm a pretty quiet person by nature) but due to having had the piss taken out of me for too long I'm working on my assertiveness. This is working pretty well in many forms of life and this was another good example. I'm not a fighter but I've been told I look v intimidating (6'3 and 20 odd stone) so maybe I should use this to my advantage more!

Pie Factory was a nightmare to wait for (obviously when not dead) can't be arsed with waiting, go back to it last or the next day.

Not really!!! I'm 5'11 and currently a touch over 18 stone. If I could be arsed losing a bit I could ever be 16 or 16 and a half stone at best - some people are naturally big (and heavy).
Sir Ratholer, you do come across as an intelligent and decent bloke, you may also have intimidated these 2 no marks, but you really can't go around speaking to people like that!!!

I didnt say he wasnt, and yes i am really hard with a keyboard so he should be shitting!
If you are waiting for a machine then take a seat and wait ya fucking turn, people have every right to be as long as they want they are paying for their entertainment!
So theres no need to tell them to leave it, fucking bully!

Matilda I definitely realise that it wasnt the best thing to say on the whole! But I'm working on being more assertive and sometimes I get carried away at the moment!
On a slight side note, what do you do when a guy is on a fruit, it's flying and he's collecting everything. And then he either goes out for a cigarette, or walks outside for a long phone call, or sits down next to the fruit to eat his dinner? Obviously he leaves credits in it, Do you say anything then?
