While I typically don't complain about too many things messing me up beyond myself either throwing a bad shot or just not reading my ball reaction correctly...after last night I have to vent!
Last night of league last night and I started off the night on a good pace: 289 / 277 (damn ten pins!)...anyways! Going at a 290 pace the last game (did I mention damn ten pins?) and I'm on the approach in the 10th. I just start my approach when I here them announce my name / set as if I had finished bowling. I know that I either should've stopped or shouldn't have even heard it but I did and I tried to throw a shot. End up almost dumping the ball and leave a 1-2 pick it up and finish off my 834. Now while this is a good set I could've struck out for a 856 and the house record.
Most of the league came up to me afterwards and asked what the hell happened as they also noticed I was on the approach when it was announced. The kid behind the desk claims that the series came up on their computer screen so they announced it. For the life of me, the manager and assistant manager (the both bowl in the league too) we can't figure out what the heck happened either?
EDIT: I hope this post doesn't seem like I'm showing off or something (thanks Jeff!!
) but I was so pissed off at the kid behind the desk last night I could've hit him. I still can't believe it happened and after I was actually going to stick up for the front desk people at these lanes in one of the other rant posts!
