Unplugged or switched off? Share your best stories...

Most people I know have one of these: I was playing the best game of X I'd ever played, and then someone switched off / unplugged me...

(And some of you were guilty of doing this; admit it.) :D
 
Ha. At a friends house this weekend. He is playing his airbourne pin on the right of me, his son is scoring huge in Attack From mars on the left.

I am on his restored (GORGEOUS) Twilight zone - dying to set the HS. I have about 600 million with 2 balls left. Going to end up on the board.....

His CB blew. All the machines went dead. Damn it - i will NEVER let him forget that.
 
When I was a kid I went to local pizza shop and saw the pinball machine had a ton of credits on it. So I hit the start button, didn't see the rediculous score. The cashier was playing it between customers and I erased her score. She was pissed!

hahahahaha. That is fantastic
 
Not unplugged or switched off, but just as bad...
Went with the family to a local dentist; we all had appointments the same afternoon for convenience. Apparently mine was last, because all my family members got called in except me, so I sat alone in the waiting room and waited...and waited...and waited...an hour went by (an eternity when you're a kid) and I'd had enough. Left the dentist's office, walked to an arcade nearby, had a pretty decent game of Pengo going, then got a firm tap on the shoulder. Turned around to see my dad's thundercloud face, and walked away from the game without a word, back to the dentist's office.

I was playing Robotron and I had gotten up to 300K (good when you're playing on a cabinet that's been restored like shit) and it was near to closing time. The bitch stared at me and shut off all the games and just said "I wanna go home, I'm closing 15 minutes early."

You work in an arcade doing nothing all day making minimum wage. How the fuck can some people be so damn lazy and pathetic?
 
Indisc it never drains in Southern California.
Pinball event.
The people at indisc were running late.

Trent was told when the player walks away from the pinball machine to shut it off..

Player did and trent shut off the pinball machines before the people who were holding the tournament were able to walk to the machine and record his score..

This was done all live streaming and thank God they were recording it at that time.
