Table 5 sits right in front of our desk, and for the entire day they've had problems. The floor has been called over numerous times and there is periodic shouting and arguing coming from that general direction.
We haven't been able to detect what the issue is, but there are players at the table who have a serious problem with one another.
Unfortunately for them their table will never break and they will just have to learn to get along.
