yeah, and I might pull out my judge binder and say "so, wanna split the table? I've got a few scenarios prepped...."
but sometimes... I just go home at that point.

A bad day gaming is still better than a good day fishing.
A bad day at one table has had me leave a CON and quit going to other conventions for 3 months. It caused me to stop gaming for weeks - and depressed me for days.
Where as a good day fishing gets me something for lunch/dinner.
The phrase "Life is to short for bad gaming..." means don't waste time on a bad game. There are only so many scenarios/mods/APs - everyone you spend at the table with jerks is one less you can spend with the rest of us!
I used to say "If it's not fun, don't do it..."
Means pretty much the same thing.

5 of the players are female, under the age of 14 and they are correcting the Augment Summoning/Summon Monster stats listed in the AP the only adult/guy at the table has on his phone...
not there yet, but I've got three of them gaming for me now, two more and I'll see if we can get them to a local CON

Seems like mine. Describing the many things I would rather be doing, than be anywhere near a table where even the slightest mention of Kender occurs.
Best described as messy German fetish suicide, involving bit of glass, and things usually stuck to toilet paper. That's the most "appropriate" way I can conceive of describing it.
Forgive my rant.

All four cats are feeling needy/rambunctious/both and have decided that dice/minifigs are good to play with and on one occasion attempt to eat...
Oh yes.. seen this I have.. had cat headbutt tablet I was skyping through off the table.
Kitties plus minis/dice/figs/tokens/maps = mess to be made.

Here's one that actually happened, in a PFS game with a not-that-kind-of-bard:
Player, during combat: "Hey, how about some Inspire Courage over here?"
NTKOB: "Sorry, I'm not that kind of bard."
Player 2: "Okay, how about helping us with the fight, then? I see you've got a sword..."
NTKOB: "Sorry, I'm not that kind of bard. I withdraw and go full-defense."
Player 3: "These guys have invisibility--do you know Glitterdust?"
NTKOB: "No offensive spells; I'm not that kind of bard."
Player 4, after the combat: "I've got a Wand of Mage Armor; can you UMD it?"
NTKOB: "Sorry, I'm... well, you know."
Much later, in a tricky NPC encounter: "Looks like we need some Diplomacy here. Bard?"
NTKOB: "Nope."
"Bluff?"
NTKOB: "No."
"Sense Motive?"
NTKOB: "Sorry."
"Knowledge checks?"
NTKOB: "Not today, sir, no. We usually get knowledges in fresh on Mondays. Today, the van broke down."Entire party: "You do HAVE some bard abilities, right?"
NTKOB: "Err...."We never did find out what he was actually capable of doing.
Anyone else realize he was doing a Monty Python joke? Cheese Shop XD

You'd actually be surprised now a days :( It saddens me greatly.

You're going to a fancy party and realize the group consists of:
A drunken gunslinger who got kicked out of the last fancy even he went to for throwing up on the mother of the bride.
An elderly and incontinent Druid who's animal companion is basically a service animal.
A dhamphir with a charisma of 9.
An aasimar cleric of Groetus, who wears sackcloth and constantly carries a sign which reads "THE END IS NEAR"
A Witch who is so socially awkward, she has her dragon familiar talk for her.
We eventually got through the mission by putting a diaper on the Druid, "suggesting" to the gunslinger that he not drink, having the dhamphir wear a mask, leaving the aasimar outside, and then telling the dragon what we wanted to say and having it talk for us.

The key point, actually was ... new player ...
For someone who has played 3.5 & PF, I wouldn't have been concerned. For someone whose most experience was red or blue box, and tended to answer "Dwarf" when asked what class they were...
And no matter what fancy training you got when you play a Dwarf and asked what class you are "DWARF" is always the answer.
