It's the nature of the beast called blackjack
As said before, play perfect basic strategy, play as a complete ploppy or be a counter, odds are that if you spend any time on blackjack tables you will be blamed for not knowing the exact order of the cards yet to be dealt. Blamed when you do something perfectly right that works out unfortunately, blamed when you improve your loser into a winner but in someone elses opinion, you caused him to lose. In certain age groups, guys will get invited to the parking lot but I have also seen one guy just stand up and slug the guy sitting next to him.
You do not want these idiots sharing your cards anyway, so if it results in their leaving the table great.
Enough years ago at a small Indian Casino with a good shoe game, I split my 9's vs a dealer 8 while at third base, a very simple basic strategy play. I get an ace and then a paint improving both of my hands. The dealer turns a 3 for 11, pulls a 6 for 17 and the idiot to my rigtht who stayed on 15 vs 8 (in a +1 count) goes nuts. Guy is more than 30 years younger than me and tells me if I was younger he would teach me to play blackjack in the parking lot. Dealer, amazingly tells him that I made the right play and he made the wrong one, to which he tells the dealer that he is an idiot and that he would have busted with those two cards just as the dealer would have. Finally, he tells me and the dealer what to do with ourselves and leaves but does not go far. He stands 10 feet from the table, eyeballing the two of us as the other players leave. I tell the dealer that perhaps he should inform the pit (who was trying his absolute best to ignore everything). We continue playing heads up and the count goes up and I am winning most of the hands and what is that idiot doing? He was making sure that he warned every person who approached the table that they did not want to play with a horrible player like me. Hell, I would have payed him to do that, I got in two shoes (one great one) heads up in a fairly crowded casino with this guy chasing away other players for me. It lasted till the dealer got nervous and forced the pit to call security. Later the pit boss came to me and apologized for the casino and asked if he could do anything for me. Told him I was planning on leaving soon but would like a nice dinner and a security escort to my car because I was worried that this guy might wait for me and I had won a nice bit of money. The bad part of this was though they kind of like me still today at this casino (handling the situation without disturbing their players) I am to well known there.
Cat Fight at the XYZ casino
My niece is sitting at first base, I am watching and there is a perfect basic strategy playing lady at third base. This lady is nasty. She has insulted every basic strategy mistake made by other players. She insults the dealer when she loses, she has complained to the pit about a couple of dealers and complained to the pit boss about the pit. She is losing a lot of money but is probably the hot topic in the break room.
The count is seriously negative but it was near the shuffle(long time ago and I do not remember some the exact details) but my niece gets a 9, ms basic strategy has I think an 18, the dealer showed a 3 and the rest of the table did not hit. Because of the negative count my niece does not double her nine but hits instead. She gets a 2 and then a 9 for 20. The dealer turns 13 and hits a 6 for 19 beating everyone on the table except for my niece and third base explodes. "If you would have doubled your 9 as you know you should have the dealer would have busted etc etc etc etc." It does not stop and after the dealer asks her to quiet down, she now has a few choice words for the dealer. Finally my niece gets a few choice words in, "give me your chips!" To which third base answers exactly, "what did you say bitch?" Very calmly, my niece says, "if you want me to play your way I certainly will, but only with your money, so give me your chips or shut up!) Pit who was approaching the table hears this and turns around laughing, dealer puts his head down to hide his smile and the guy sitting next to my niece says to her, "I wish I had said that" Ms personality storms away.
Word of warning here: Had the same thing happened with two guys the odds of them landing up throwing punches would be extremely high.
