Bingo Brawls

Nicely done Fried-Eggs & Mom, bullying can't be accepted, not even at Bingo :)

I'm glad that your mom and you stood up to those women... and you managed to avoid a fight. :)Well done, I'm sure it wasn't easy.

Haven't see any bingo brawls but I can tell you about a few barroom brawls in my day. Hey could be the same corrupt crowd that came from bingo clubs lol

Good for your mom fried eggs. That awesome! LOL

oh and liquorman, I think you could be on to something there.

So I took my mom to Bingo for Mother's Day and it got a little ugly. We got there a bit early to ensure a seat and after about 15 min. two older women came up to us and said we were in their seats. We at first apologized and said we didn't see anyone or anything so we sat. They claimed that they just arrived but that its their spot every week. We would have moved but by this point it had already filled up and it was the way they went about it that wasn't cool. So my mom being the fireball that she is said "we ain't moving". To make a long story short we stayed in our seats and they ended up leaving. The lady behind us said it was about time someone stood up to them, apparently they do that every week. Go mom!

Omg too cute fried eggs! I too have experienced a fair share of the seat violations! You should pulled out your badge and said hey i am the one who calls the shots on violations not you!

Oh i think we could make an exception and here some of these stories liquor! After all the thread is about brawls ;)

I dont know anyone thats been involved in any bingo scrapes but I do know several that have been bruisers in the bar. I might have met you liquorman ha! The letter that was posted was really funny too. Who knew bingo players were such children when they play.

It's been a little while but there's been another incident at a bingo hall in Wales. This time a bingo caller was involved in an argument with a player who said he was calling the numbers out too fast.

The player, Rachel Jessica Morrison, was at bingo with her mother and she asked the caller Andrew Peter Howell, to slow down so her mom could follow along.

During the break, Morrison had words with Howell and he grabbed her arm a couple of times.

Howell went before the magistrates and was required to pay court costs and £50 to Morrison for the assault.

Ah good times!

Ah, this is a mild one, no punches thrown :)

Well, now, I always thought there is a rule about the speed of the numbers being called... Anyway, I am strongly against any violence, but would hate that anyone grabs my arm for any reason... Not sure if I could just walk away...

That ended up nicely, but too bad that such things have to happen in the first place.

Can't believe people are actually fighting inside or outside bingo hall.  woo Bingo is purely a game of fun. My grandma and grandpa enjoy it a lot.
