Heckling & Taunting During League Bowling
« on: September 12, 2008, 03:59:00 AM »
Ok, this is a first for me.  In my company bowling league on Wednesday's, there is some POS nobody that averages like 100-110 making fun of my bowling form.  Ok, keep in mind I don't have time for fighting because I am training for both MMA and bodybuilding.  Basically I am not trying to get in a fight and wind up in prison for some stupid crap.

But this is what happened this past week.  Keep in mind I have been bowling since I was 5 and bowled on my college bowling team.  

During practice before league started, I threw my ball and he is in the next lane going "haha nice form bringing your leg out and all like a girl" or something.  (Basically my form is like Pete Weber - stand left of center, high backswing, kick my right leg to the left behind my front leg, etc. - basic high rev form).  So I am like "haha".  This has never happened before.  Any real bowler knows my form is pretty damn good and my average speaks for itself.  So he keeps going on during practice as I throw another shot.  2 balls and 2 strikes I might add.  He then says, "yeah that is over the top, you're such a nerd!".  Ok, I am getting pretty pissed now.  Keep in mind we are all working in the same damn company and all engineers.  It is like a white guy calling another guy white in a condenscending way.  I mean how do you respond to that?

So I keep bowling throughout practice and this @$$hole keeps talking s***.  I am now trying to ignore him.  During league play about 2 more times he kept talking s***.  He isn't even bowling against my team.  I just start ignoring him and others are looking around and going WTF.  They all know me as being in the top 3 for the past 3 years straight with 2 league championships in a row.

So Thursday - YESTERDAY.  I see this POS at work right when I arrive.  And he goes in again about this s***!  I was in the vending area and just walked by ignoring him.  

WHAT A F***ER!!!!

What do I do?

This might be the smartest comment yet, you will get canned if you get too stupid over this.

I'm really confused.  He's only averaging(if what you say is true) 100-110, why in the hell are you letting him get under your skin like that?  Regardless of what the average may or may not be, I still don't understand why you are letting this dude bother you.

So the hell what?

Ask him how much he wants to bowl for $$$  take his money and keep laughing.  If he wont bowl for $$$ call him a pu$$y in front of the league next week.  Just keep calling him out on it.


I must say I do like this idea.

The next time he calls you a pu$$y, just tell him that you are what you eat.

It's one thing to be a heckler at the  bowling center, if it is all in fun.  But to bring it back to the work place and keep it going is something different.  One way to shut him up is what a previous poster mentioned, and that's HR.  Yes, he'll probably call you every wuss name in the book, but ask him to stop and tell him that you don't appreciate it.  After that he is open game.  If he does not stop, notify yours and his supervisor.  Next step is call. . . .HOSTILE WORK ENVIRONMENT.  This will definately stop him or be will face termination.  Just don't instigate any physical confrontation.  If he instigates it, then he is open game!  The choice is his.
