I've also posted this on my RedBubble Journal:
I was sitting at the blackjack table between hands when the older gentleman next to me decided to share. He stated that ever since I split my 10's (the dealer had a bust card showing) he'd not had any luck at all. He thought it was stupid of me to do so. He said he was sorry, but those were his feelings.

I turned to him and replied that I did not ask him what he thought I should do with MY cards or MY bet. Looking over the rim of my glasses, I then told him that I did not ask for his opinion or feelings and certainly did not give him permission to criticize me. However, if he was into sharing, I'd be glad to share my feelings with him right now. He blanched a bit and excused himself from the table to find entertainment elsewhere.
