the good and the bad
« on: April 06, 2010, 09:59:31 AM »
Ok I put a similar topic up awhile back and wanted to repost it with a little change.  This is just to vent and have a little fun seeing what people like and don't like.  I did two bad and three good to see how hard it would be to put what you like more.  Put on here:

Two of your biggest pet peeves in the sport of bowling:

Three things you totally love about the sport of bowling:

I'll go first;

Pet Peeves
1.)Lane breakdowns
2.)Flat corners

Likes
1.)Strikes with messangers
2.)9-pin no tap tournaments are always fun
3.)striking out to win or tie

Pet Peeves
1. Those who complain and have no idea what they are talking about and thus are blaming the wrong thing(s).
2. The nights where you just can't catch breaks.

1. All the people i've met through bowling, i've got a second family now.
2. The nights where you catch every break.
3. The feeling of success.

Pet Peeves:

1) People who don't pay attention to when they are up
2) Nights where you try everything, but execution is lacking.

Likes:

1)Camraderie on a fun team
2)Crushing 3 in the 10th to win a game
3) Nights where the bowling gods are smiling and you carry everything.

Two of your biggest pet peeves in the sport of bowling:

1. Bowling with people that give 3 lane courtesy. It takes too long. Everyone else is gone and you are still finishing out the last 3 frames of the final game.

2. The delicate care I have to give my bowling balls now. Baths, regular cleaning....its like having extra children.

People laughing at you as you tell them you can''t bowl with dirty balls


Three things you totally love about the sport of bowling:

1. The Challenge: I am always learning something.

2. The People: I have met some really great people in this sport

3. Watching others achieve: It''s really great watching someone throwing a 300, shooting their first 200, 600 series.

Two pet peeves:

1. Filling out the score sheets after each game (my eyes are really bad, and I can never find my stupid reading glasses).

2. The incredibly long wait to get a soda when there is no other customers at the counter.

Three things I love:

1. Most of all, the other bowlers...great league with really fun folks.

2. Winning a game by a few pins.

3. Experimenting with new and different equipment.

Pet Peeves.

1. People who complain how fast the lanes break down and throw freshly sanded bowling balls.

2. Long ball returns.

Three things I love about bowling.

1. hanging out with friends.

2. Sport shots.

3. Testing all the new equipment when it comes out.
