People who ask if I can coach them and when you tell them to "do this or do that" and they say they cannot do it. 

People who walk up on you just when you're ready to go.

At the start of the first game of league, the first bowler on the opposing team is walking around to play pots and making everyone wait.  Sometimes my whole team goes and the first guy on the other team didn't even go yet. 

Long smoke break in between games.

Guess I got to add beside simple ass 1 lane courtesy is the stupid league bowler next to you that tries to "double dips" on you next to you when he or she leaves a spare and picks up another ball thinking he or she is entitled to shoot when it's your obvious turn to bowl is a big pet peeve of mine. Now I've learned to adjust by much deserved cock blocking and taking extra time on the approach just to piss them off.

I hate the people who think every pocket hit should carry, or that any hit on brooklyn is supposed to be a guaranteed strike.

I also strongly dislike the people that need a two pair courtesy for a league, or small scale tournament. If you can't handle a person moving near you, don't bowl. I practice around kids for that reason.

Second being said, I HATE the fun bowler that brings their kids in, and then lets them run wild.

Being the last team done.

Not bowling because of a split next to their lane. Seriously if that were the case id only bowl if both lanes struck.

Any person over 16 that thinks bowling is cool.
…… you can't  add a physics term to a bowling term and expect it to mean something.

Haha, I remember when I was still bowling, most of my Wednesday night league would do that. It was hilarious, and I'd do it too if i was on a run.

when someone is bowling bad and they blame the lanes!! if your a good bowler you should be able to MAKE THE ADJUSTMENT.

bringing 6,7,8 or more bowling balls to a house shot league!especially when your not even good

-That bowler that hits every chair, table, ball return, etc.. when HE misses.  No matter how good you are, you probably will have a miss once or twice, learn from it and move on, don't make it completely uncomfortable for anyone within three lanes to bowl.

- After hitting the light side of the pocket three shots in a row by design cause whatever you do dead center you leave something, the rack doesn't "explode" but certainly is a strike.   Then people keep saying "Man you carry a ton of crap".  Dude....did you see me getting hosed with 10's, 9's, 8's, and 4's...?  I'm hitting where it carries, they are good shots.

- Teammates that can't adjust themselves off 10(7's for lefties) that after not paying attention to what you've been doing in any way, asking you snidely if they need to adjust you after a start of flat 10, ringing 10, stone 7, obviously trying every minute adjustment possible to start striking.
Wise bowler told me once: K.I.S.S.   Keep it simple stupid.

Got to agree with your first point. I think everyone of us have hit something in aggravation. But people that hit the ball return or kick it is overly distracting/
