League malcontents!!!!!
« on: July 13, 2009, 08:36:11 AM »
Do you ever notice that the persons in your league that say,that they don't really care about scores or winning and losing and are only there to have fun, are always the first to start; swearing, hitting things ,complaining about pin carry or no breaks ,arguing about  rules,waiting 4 lanes because you might mess them up.Say something like :that person only bowls well when they drink and they are the ones that are drunk.Bring 4 bowls but, complain about the 5 you bring.Whine about the people not being done on time on the lanes they are going to bowl on but,are the last ones done in your league.Are always on the phone and say something about you not being up on time when you you happen to get the only phone call you may get per month.Complain about not winning jackpots.Say the prize fund is not fair for the lower place teams.Always bring their kids that yell and scream all night and are always running around but,whine when you have your kids or a friends kids that happen to drop by that night and are well behaved and do not say a word , give you dirty looks.Are always late and make you wait for them want you to slow down so they can get a shot in before the 4th frame but throw a fit when you happen to be late for the first time in 5 years and will not slow down so you can get your shot in. If I missed any please forgive me.

I know exactly what you mean, sometimes it's hard to get motivated to even show up, and what happens is I just wind up going through the motions and zoning-out.  Next thing you know it's time to go home.

Forgot one.They don't care what they average but, always complain about their average going down or say snide remarks because you care but,are very calm about it.

I tend to ignore and zone out those kinds of people.

As a result of that philosophy, I couldn't tell you the names of 75% of the bowlers in my league.

Also, don't forget the ones with the mindset of:  "It's never me, it's the ball/lane/bad rack" etc.

i must be one of the lucky ones there are very few of these people in our league there is one jacka^& that complains about the floor being wet (winter league) every week. We came in and weren't anywhere near the bowling area. we were up by the tables and before we could even put our bags down here he comes barking at us about our wet shoes, and this same idiot refuses to wear shoe covers, when he's walking around the bowling alley to the bathroom or food court or what not. then he blames us for slipping on his approach. he has a legit argument if we were walking down by the ball return with our wet shoes on but it was ridiculous and worst part is he just wouldnt let it go even after we took our shoes off. everybody, even the league secretary was like shut up its over with just calm down lol
