Museum of the Game® & International Arcade Museum® Forums

An aquatince of mine who use to have a small arcade (3 or 4 machines) in the back of his flea market was telling me a kinda funny (but kinda sad... in a dumb way) story. I talked to him for the first time in a few years the other day and asked him why he no longer had the arcade machines in the back (I bought a few from him before.) He proceded to tell me about how one day one of the vendors in his flea market said they heard cursing and loud banging in the back, so he went to the back and noticed one of the guns from his Carnevil was hanging down. As he walked closer he noticed it wasn't just hanging down it was broken in half. Very confused he went to check the security camera and saw a guy playing it for just a few minutes before yelling "MOTHER F@@KER!!" and repeatedly bashing the gun against the control panel until it broke and walking away pissed. He said he called the police but when they arrived they acted like they really couldn't be bothered and he never heard back from them. He then said since he wasn't really making any money on them anyway that he decided to just sell them all as is and rent the space out instead.

So I wanted to here from all of you guys who have actually worked around an arcade, what is the wildest or funniest things you saw in your time there?
