Pet Peeves
« on: July 22, 2014, 12:17:54 PM »
Yeah, obviously I'm easily peeved, but let's make this a fun topic.  Mine include:

High fives in practice.  I'm not trying to strike for at LEAST the first 8 minutes of practice, maybe not at all, just trying to get loose.  Between watching the 8-10 people on the pair, there's all the information I need to line up.  If I strike, it's luck, please don't high five me or make any comments about "saving some for later."

The idea that all women have to wear mechanical arms.  I understand the need for support, but when support turns into a crutch and all the sudden everyone is trying to push wrist braces or gadgets onto women simply because they're female, that irks me. 

The guy that starts slapping shots off after the front 7.  Lol I know getting a lot of strikes in a row is fun, but when you slap off the 8th one and start walking several pairs over on somebody else's approaches watching each shot . . come on man (Barkley voice). 

The longwinded guy that gets on this site and wastes a bunch of space complaining about everything.  Wait . .

Guys who get pissed off because the higher handicap bowler is carrying everything just has to drop it in the right place and it hits the pocket.

That's KINDA (not entirely) me..........I'm a little more towards the correction above, and a milder version.  I'm more "lolz  ::)" and move on.........

As for MY peeve........probably shim wreckers.   ;)  ;D  ;)  ;D  ;)  ;D  ;)  ;D

Scratch level bowlers who bowl handicap tournaments, max out the handicap brackets/side pots, then complain about how many sandbaggers there are.

it's worse when the guy wants two lane courtesy and he takes forever to go once he is on the approach. then if you go against his team, your pair is last to leave in this 3 man team!!!!

My scratch doubles partner did this last year. Dude took FOREVER once he was on the approach. Then he would usually leave the 5 pin standing out of the full rack.

What really made me go ballistic was when he took forever in his setup and then flagged the %$^&!@* 5 pin on the spare attempt.

Those idiots who cleans their ball, then immediately proceeds to lay their towel on your ball as you are getting ready to bowl!

Ancient bowlers that whine when their are more than ten bowling balls on the return rack.  Quit whining and take one off if you don't like it.

people on this site who "have a hole in their arsenal". i check their average on bowl.com and they are 190.

Anyone who slaps out a cross-over or cave-in.

Anyone who yells, or hits ball-returns or chairs, or slams equipment.
