Have you ever gambled at 'out of place' place?

[junder]

That's dangerous indeed. I mean, I see the traffic, and I already feel uneasy sitting on couch. If I was at passenger's place, I would be like, I want to get out, lol.

Earlier somebody mentioned, people gambling while driving but to see the actual video of the same makes me see the dangers of it vividly, not for person himself but for others as well.

Say 'no' to 'out of place' gambling.

I remember it myself, and I don't think I've ever gambled in an inappropriate place. Regardless, I think it's not so much about the place being inappropriate, but rather the situation being inappropriate. Gambling while driving is obviously an inappropriate situation, but they do it because they probably can't control themselves.
For example, in a case where someone was being treated in the hospital but still gambled, it makes sense to say that gambling in an inappropriate place or situation is wrong.

...and hell, even in a shower with protective plastic bag.

Really? I have some statement in mind in my local language for such type of behavior but I don't know what proper translation of that would be in English, but well let's just say, that's wild and extreme.

Also , fwiw, now with advanced tech, now we get this waterproof phones, so you wouldn't need to use protective plastic bag    

I guess i one could say i had a problem.

Had? Have you changed?

I never gamble during my busy time, especially when I am busy with my job duties. A colleague of mine once gambled while on duty, and the boss called him in and demoted him.
Then, since you cannot participate in any other work outside the office while on duty in the office. In that case, gambling is even more prohibited. That is why I do not participate in gambling while on duty. However, when I am not at home after duty, I may participate twice a week on a regular basis.

I don't know why someone would gamble outside of a normal place, but I think it's weird when people gamble in inappropriate places. Maybe for them it's normal because they're used to doing it, whether they're gambling at the gym or while driving. But gambling should be done in the right place, like in your own room or somewhere you can do it freely. There's no need to do it in a place that could disturb others or endanger yourself. I think if that's the case, you should check your mental health because you might already be addicted to gambling.

I also don't gamble at work and consider it an inappropriate place to gamble. Gambling can be too distracting, and work often involves challenging situations. I simply don't want someone at work making mistakes while serving me, or a taxi driver failing to place a bet while driving, because in a second they could get distracted and get into an accident. Although I know that some people have less demanding jobs where they can afford to be distracted, and even if they don't perform their duties well, it's practically harmless.

(I don't know if title is clear enough, but hopefully quoted comment gives enough context to know what topic is about.)

Inspiration behind topic:

...Are there gamblers here like they gamble on their phones or laptops and they're on a treadmill?

As for me, never at place 'out of place'.

I never felt out of place while I was gambling. In some other context I didn't feel comfortable gambling while at work with my phone screen to the lowest and the best privacy screen protector. Other than this context I have always felt joy while gambling and never felt out of place because except gambling at work I have always gambled at the comfort of my home or with some friends in a Saturday night to have fun. People who feel out of place most probably are heavily addicted and do not distinguish where they are playing, they even play in the bus in their trip home.

I only gamble when I'm in my office, at home, and on my computer. I don't like using my smartphone for that; I don't find it very practical, and I don't see the need, since I don't gamble all the time. I believe there is a right time and place to do that.

Is it an out of place if someone does gamble in a restaurant or fast food while waiting for the food to be served?

I guess that many have done that before. And another odd area is with the comfort room, I can't imagine how much bacteria is flying there sticking to your phones when you haven't noticed that.

Because it's an area where most germs are living so if someone uses their phone inside the comfort or rest room, stop that.

I just want a quiet place to gamble, Why? Because I don’t want my friends or my partner to know that I gamble, it could make things worse. I know some of my friends also gamble, but I don’t want them to know about my personal gambling activities. That’s why I prefer to play somewhere private. I’m not sure if it’s “out of place,” but I usually play on my phone in my car when I’m alone sometimes even in the bathroom basically anywhere as long as I’m by myself.

Well, as for me I don't gamble while working not to talk of gambling while I'm on treadmill, I know most gamblers must have done that before of Which is not going to be a thing of surprise of course since most people are gambling while they are on hospital bed how much more treadmill? Although I haven't seen anyone doing that before I personally have not done that before but I believe there are people out their who are doing it even most of us here can do it, but I don't think if it's right because gambling while you are on treadmill can make you not to concentrate on what you're doing.

Talking about this, have you seen a lot of people gamble on their sick bed? Some stories like that are just cooked up, I saw a topic that mentioned this too and it had an image of someone pressing their phone while sitting on a hospital bed, when they were doing on their phone was not showing clearly enough but they just tagged it as "a patient gambling on sick bed." I find it difficult to believe because some bloggers just needs pictures like to use it in pushing their narrative which is not true.
