Both these stories were relayed to me by Other MOD.
Because of her hair (not her health)
Other MOD was sitting at her machine. She already had a lit cigarette when this EW sat down right beside her.
EW: "You know, I really wish you put that cigarette out. I just spent $35 on my hair, and you're going to make it smell like cigarette stink!"
Other MOD: "You do realize that there is a special non-smoking section over there?"
EW: "Yes, but I don't want to use those machines. They don't pay out as well as these ones do. You need to put your cigarette out! I just spent a bunch of money on my hair and you are ruining it!"
Now, it should be noted that Other MOD is a very courteous smoker, and if you ask her nicely, she will put out her cigarette or finish it elsewhere. But if you feed her attitude, you get attitude back.
Other MOD: "F*** you. I want to smoke so I'm gonna smoke. This is the only damn place in the state where smokers can smoke*, so if you don't like it you can take your ass and your damn haircut and leave, because I am NOT putting this out!"
(*We have a state-wide smoking ban in all public areas, but the casino is on the Res, and is thus one of the very few places exempt from the ban.)
EW punched the Cash-Out, ripped her ticket away, stood up and SLAMMED the seat into the machine as she stormed off. Security came to talk to Other MOD.
Security: "What was that about?"
Other MOD: *tells story*
Security: "Yeah, that's what I would have told her, too."
Other MOD said she saw EW several more times that night, and got a catbutt face from her every time.
Showdown at the Swinomish
Another story of a similar vein. Other MOD was at a machine, next to a lady who was smoking. Other MOD did not have a cigarette at this time. An EW sits on the other side of MOD.
EW: "How rude is that? She should put out her cigarette so the rest of us don't have to breath that!"
Other MOD:
Smoking Lady: "Excuse me? Do you see her smoking? Why are you complaining to her? If you're going to say something to her, why don't you have the balls to say it to my face, huh?"
Other MOD:
The two woman started arguing, then yelling, with Other MOD sitting in the middle not saying a word, too scared to move or draw attention to herself. Security came off and hauled the two women away, and asked Other MOD to watch their machines, to which Other MOD obliged.
Security returned and asked Other MOD what happened. Other MOD relayed the story.
The two women returned. The other EW cashed out and was escorted away. The smoker was allowed to resume her game. (Not sure if I completely agree with that...the EW was being passive aggressive but I also think the smoker was wrong to escalate it like she did.)
