Everytime I go, there is this guy who cannot talk. He must shout everything. Literally, EVERYTHING. When asked to be a bit quieter, he speaks
at exactly the same volume, he is so irritating, people who go there on a regular basis have stopped going on the days he does because he wont
shutup! He stays for hours, from till the sun rises till the store shuts, rarely playing, just being, well, there.

Does anyone else have anyone like this at their FLGS? If anyone wants one, they can have him!

Yeah, we got one >.<. He curses too. Its horrible and embarassing.

Yes, he yells, but generally it's something funny, or odd.

EX. "YOU'VE GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!!!"
"What?"
*Looks at dice for terminator saves *

YES! I AM HE!!!!!!ONE!!!!!11!!!!!!!BRIANBLESSED!!!!

No, but seriously there is this one guy who seems to shout everyone danw and mainly talks about how he wants Chuck Norris for world president or something....

I'm usually that guy. I just get so excited! Sometimes I forget where I am.

To be fair, in general I am pretty good at avoiding the GC 7.

I used to be, and then I was in the car on my way home, and when asked how it went, I YELLED WITH THE POWER OF .37 ON THE BRIAN BLESSED SCALE!!!!

Yeah, then I stopped.

we call ours Danger Dan, he's a bit awkward

There's only a few guys that I know that shout in the store, and it is only for one special occasion.

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"

Yes, we have one. He's about 12. One of the few examples in our club of annoying little kids. (For the most part the rest are pretty keen to learn the game and get into it)

And then there are those who act like 12.

Just because you don't know how to play the game properly...

He doesn't play, but he talks to the manager of the store really, really loud. He's usually talking about his mother or spoiling movies I haven't gotten to see yet.

yea we got a group of them. At The GW Store last month, I stopped and walked over and asked how far apart the edges of the table were. They informed me 4x6. So I said "really then why do yall have to shout like yall a are playing on the other side of the parking lot outside?" Anyway they shut up and the manager appologized he wasnt ontop of it as he was doing a painting lesson. Now he keeps it managed and he tells them to keep it down pretty well.

Every store has one. Everytime I play in my FLGS monthly 40k tournie I am reminded why I never play pick up games there.

we have one and to make it more interesting he always goes on saying he hopes his models die when he rolls armor saves. Quite an interesting character when he shouts 'WOOOOOOAR!' for every roll he does.

We've got a guy at my FLGS who constantly tells the worst sort of one-liners, and makes it obvious that he's holding for a laugh, but if you don't laugh right away, he repeats himself. If you don't laugh the second time, he gets mad and turns into a total rules-lawyer about some insignificant thing, like claiming you moved a half inch too much or you didn't do wound allocation exactly the way he interpreted it, or you didn't try hard enough to get it through his head that your battlewagon is actually open-topped, even though you showed him your army list. The next time he showed up, I agreed to a rematch, but this time I didn't even make eye contact and communicated through grunts, glares and hand signals. He hasn't been back since.

I remember one from an old club we went to
we called him "nazi kid" and his volume was pretty cranked.
he played a poorly painted set of ultras and made a general nuisance of himself.
Oh well, i guess he did buy us all ice cream once. even TFG has his upsides.

yeah I call him my Dad. he's been that guy my whole life hahaha but I think its funny

Yeah, that's me at my store. Judge if you want, but you try not to get frustrated when your reputation at your FLGS isn't even "the yelling guy" but the guy who can be depended on to roll that poorly pretty much all the time.

There's a guy I overhear at the Chicago bunker. I don't know him, he doesn't work there but he's there almost every time I have gone. He is always talking to the staff, and he just seems like his voice is REALLY LOUD AND BOOMING, and you can hear his guffawing laughter across a crowded room. He doesn't seem to be rude or bad-mouthed he just has the kind of voice you would imagine coming from a heavily jockish looking fella almost 7 feet tall, looks like he could have played Linebacker or something.

It is kind of distracting having to overhear his take on recent politics or TV shows from 4 tables away, or his opinions on the latest army updates. I think he plays Tau, oddly enough, since they are supposed to be the civil and orderly. Voice like an ork, attitude of a Space Wolf, looks like an Ultramarine... and plays Tau?

It's kind of amusing to me since he isn't being all foul-mouthed or talking about getting baked like the 16-18 yr old trenchcoat mafia looking kids I see there, but like I said I don't know the guy. The stoner kids get on my nerves more. One stupid drug babble after another into their table talk, I guess thinking it makes them cool or dangerous or rebelious or something, but either oblivious to the fact that there's a dad there at the next table over with his 10 yr old looking son who was hoping to spend some quality time sharing his kid's hobby and not having to worry about having a parental chat on the drive home about drug abuse. Either oblivious to it or deliberately trying to be controversial or something teenage angsty like that.

I went into my FLGS today, I time that would usually be ruled by shouty guy, to be met with the grandest of news. He has Moved to London. Have fun London Gamesworkshops, now we can put away the headache pills and aspirin

Why is there no aspirin in the jungle?

Because the parrots-eat-'em-all

I'm pretty sure you can be shot for a joke that bad

I'm normally the shouty guy, but only when I've had my head phones on.

I try to take them of before getting to the store to get my hearing back now.

Say it all together.
If that doesn't work

If you say parrots-eat-em-all it sounds like you're saying paracetamol which is a type of aspirin.
