I let guests and kids play the machines, wheter I'm home or not. These games are COMMERCIAL quality machines....meant to be played and withstand abuse. Now I wouldn't tolerate anybody kicking or punching the games, but playing them is no big deal. My only concern would be if something broke on the machine, that caused SERIOUS damage because someone kept playing it. (for example dragging flipper bat- playfield wear)
Can't say I've seen that - but "back in the day" I remember being at the local arcade playing a few games, and having a young kid (maybe 7 or 8) watching me, who must have thought that you had to press the credit button for EVERY ball - I'd seen it many times before with younger kids. Not a big deal when you have a single game in play, but when he walked up and did that to MY game 2 or 3 times, and wiped out 3 or 4 games I had saved up, I was PISSED - he just wouldn't listen...

My mother has a bad habit of slapping the glass when a ball drains *she has a ring* and everytime I hear the ring hit the glass I start screaming because she knows better. Some how she managed to scratch a brand new piece of glass on one of my pins and I made her buy a new piece. She hasn't slapped the glass since.
Now that kid beating the shit out of the flippers on that TSPP pissed me off because you know his parents weren't watching him.

I think the dilemma ends up being I don't want to be that grouch, suck all the fun out of it and yell at people if I see them doing these types of things, I still want them to have fun, but they need to "respect the machine".
I still don't like other people playing them when I'm not around though, probably because none of my friends/family are into pins. Most of them don't know how to follow the rule set, their main goal is to not drain the ball and to "HIT ALL THINGS!"

The visual definitely helped...Now I know why it's called "Monkey Flipping"

Still "monkey flipper boy" could be the future of what we hold dear. If I can let a kid slap the ship out of my flip buttons and he gets a high from it, well he might drop a couple coins into a route machine. If he does that and some others are as kool as well, the route notices. Soon the route owner orders another machine, more kids slam coin into that machine too. Well figure it out from there....
The booger idea is kinda sweet too.

What if this little morphodite sees a route machine on its last legs (are there any other kind?), does this and breaks it, thereby decreasing already feeble earnings, op starves, and the next person that wants to play finds the poor op's skeleton by the broken pinball machine 5 years later?
This kid is a spaz. I say flush his head in the toilet to prepare him for a future of similar torture.
