"I've Dominated Him?"
"Yes"
"Then I make him put his wee-wee (not the player's EXACT word choice) in the waffle-maker!"
"You can't do that! That would be evil!"
"But he's a KENDER."
"Oh, OK then."
Not what an IHOP Asst. Manager wants to overhear at 2:00 in the morning.

Ok - we silenced a room of *gamers* with that one. Much less the mundanes.BelenUmeria said:
If I recall there was at least one quiet 'wait, someone just said that to a *female* GM?!'...I was out at the airport the last week on my flight ot Denver and happened to spot terminal maps in the cute magizines they keep in the back of the seats (as if anyone ever reads them). The first thought through my mind - 'OH! Sweet! Tactical maps for my next game session.' Followed by an only slightly paranoid glance over my shoulder for lingering TSA agents...

Clueless and I, sitting in the Denver airport terminal at 3am in the morning, and she was looking at a map of the terminal that also showed overhead views of other major US terminals, and commenting on using them for SR. I let the conversation die given that the place was crawling with security that was strict to the point of actually looking in trashcans when they passed them.
No. You do not talk about Shadowrun while sitting next to 30 homeland security agents getting ready for their shift.

I'd bet some terrorists like to get fingered.
Years ago, a friend and I are in a club having a few drinks. One thing lead to another, and a couple of meatheads decide they want to fight. My friend and I have always been closet gamers, and don't really fit the stereotype. I almost broke out laughing, killing my tough guy look, when my pal says "You wanna roll initiative?"

Not exactly role-playing, but along the lines of ill-advised things to do...
In the late 80's, early 90's, a group of guys at college decided to run around outside playing with uzi-shaped water pistols.
My college is in the UK. In London. In South Kensington. Right next to the Iranian, Iraqi and Kuwaiti embassies... How fast can you say Armed Response Vehicles...?
One of my roleplaying friends told me about an incident that his brother was involved in. This was during the early 90's when the IRA bombings on the mainland were at their height. In 1992 and again in 1993 huge bombs in the back of trucks exploded in the City of London. His brother was an armed policeman in London at the time (most UK police are not armed) in an Armed Response Vehicle. They were driving towards London early one morning when they overtook a van being driven by a man wearing a balaclava. Now, to people in the UK at that time, the sight of someone wearing a balaclava would be like seeing someone looking exactly like Osamah bin-Laden climbing onto a plane... They quickly pulled the van over, heard the driver had an irish accent and discovered that the back of the van was filled with men lying down. Needless to say, there were a few tense moments until they determined that they were a building crew on their way to work, most of them having a sleep in the back, and the heater didn't work, so the driver wore a balaclava to keep warm...

We had a game once when my mother-in-law was visiting; she sat in the room with us and crochetted; after the other people had left she said, "I thought you were gonna play a game. All you did was sit and talk."

I have a gaming friend who seems to lack what one might call an "inside voice".
We go out to eat and discuss gaming on a semi-regular basis. Or at least, we did for a while. Kind of embarassing when half the Old Codger Buffet can hear this guy practically yelling about the game. Imagine all the wierd things you say when talking about the game. Now imagine someone practically screaming these things in a public place.
Sadly, hints have no effect. Good guy otherwise. JUST DOESN'T KNOW HOW NOT TO SPEAK LIKE THIS AT ALL TIMES.
