Play multiple games at once (if you are that good). I used to do that online with poker.
Were you (that good)?
I did it, but I wasn't that good at online poker. I was much, much better at live brick and mortar poker. Of course, it is hard to play mutiple tables at once when you are playing live.

If you could do it blindfolded you might get famous. 
The babbling was him saying he didnt like my opening. He was going to clean my clock now thats when I figured I go to store call girlfriend give him plenty of time to clean it! I was only gone 1 hour lol. I forgot tournament director gave me a good talking to for that but I told him nothing in rule book says I have to be there when my time is running. Don't let my rating fool you I live near the river I have lots of sandbags lol .
Win on time.
Chicken monster funny you should say because I did do that once on the clock. The club was short a player in another section to start the new tournament. I played ln both sections on the clock I am a fast player but it was harder than I thought it would be. Afterwards I told everbody I was giving a one minute simul better hurry up it will be over in a minute lol tournament director told me I better cut the comedy this is a chess club. Chess players are so stoic.

This is a good topic for me. I'm terrible at blitz chess, but lack the patience to play longer time controls. Sometimes it's actually a shortage of available free time. Invariably every time I start a 15/10 game, my wife will start asking me a bunch of questions about something. And there goes my clock....

How does one make it to play the slow people and the runners?
I always switch to youtube. But then I get caught up in the video and just return to the game and spent 3 seconds pr move because the video is more interesting than the zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz person I'm playing against.
Its almost the hardest thing for me in chess. Waiting 3 times 1 minute and not get bored to death :) I can understand it if it was compettive or we were playing for a bottle of vodka or something, but I dont get why anyone that had 2 option to move his checked king can spent that long thinking about it.
Sometimes I tell them what to do to speed them up but people dont seem to look at the chat?
You get bored to death waiting 3 times in 1 minute?
Chess isnt for you.
He should try table tennis instead.

or making hour glasses
Bronstein once thought for 45 minutes on move 1. He also thought for 50 minutes on move 6 or smth in the najdorf. He had an amazing idea of saccing a knight to get three pawns rolling on the queenside and won convingly. I bet you never have those ideas. chess is complicated and if you're really quick you will miss ideas and tactics. Once you get at reasonable level you will have to see 8 moves ahead or more to deliver checkmate. And if you don't invest time and calculate you will always remain at 1200.

I spent 45 minutes on a move once, at a tournament in Reno. It happens...

Yes that happens doesn't it? Bless 'em.
I was quickly moving, someone tried to race me, went to quickly, and I got his/her queen!

Ye I do, you play very defensive and slow, sort of like a sleepy hedhehog. Its a boring way to win though, but I discovered the world of 3 minute blitz now and all is good
Become patient for once in your damn life.

Not at the venues I used to play...Los Angeles...sitting right next to some famous stars sometimes... You know, the The Commerce..or Larry Flynt's place... Most of the trouble was at the ultra-high-stakes tables...tens of thousands of dollars at stake in a hand at times in deep stack NLH...police would show up often when fights would break out...the low limit people were not the trouble makers...
I just posted about this but in the opposite way. Play 3 or 5 minute blitz if you are that fast. I play 10 min blitz because I'm trying to improve and I want to stop making stupid blunders. And then I get people on the chat saying hurry up or blame me for cheating. My solution will be to disable the chat I guess.
