Mouths- what do you do?
« on: November 28, 2007, 07:18:22 AM »
Hey guys I was wondering what you guys do when some one feels it nesccary to rip on you every week?

I got a dude on Tuesday nights that doesn't like the fact that I bring 5 balls with me every week though I rarly use more than 2 not counting the spare ball. After every shot someone throws he looks at me and yells ''you should change balls'' I don't mind it every once in awhile but every couple of frames and my patience is wearing thin.

Last night he heard me remark that I the head on the lane was burnt out because I throw my Nitro with no hand at a 4 pin and the ball actually flared up before it got to the arrows ( yeah you heard me right the oiler was all screwed up) All the rest of the night I heard '' the lane is slanted change balls''

What would you guys do?

The guy that rips on you doesn't annoy me as much as the guy who had one good series a few years ago and thinks he is the king of the lanes.  One guy I know likes to talk about how someone stole all of his 800 and 300 rings.  Apparently he doesn't know that you can go on bowl.com and look up achievements for any bowler (Or lack of in this case)!

Well, maybe someone HACKED his account and stole them there too.

I don't know why, but when I see Banging a Walrus and Team Banger, it makes me think of what that ball logo would look like.

Here's one I use to mess with people even good bowlers.  Ask them how long they have been sliding on the wrong foot.  When they say "I dont slide on the wrong foot"  just reply "looks to me like you do".  trust me they will not throw another good shot all night and wont have time to say anything to you the rest of the night because they are trying to figure out if they are sliding correctly.

That's a good one...I too like to ask them questions about their own game.  This always turns their thoughts to themselves and not to you...if that doesn't work, I just tell the person to f-off, like many said above.

Yes, go punch the guy  Violence is the answer.  The funny thing is that the morons suggesting it probably don't have the eggs to do something like that themselves.


First of all, I was kidding, I  made an earlier post of what he should do. Secondly, considering that for half of my life, I have worked in bars, played in bars, and bounced in bars, I would have plenty of EGGS to knock the snot out of someone I thought deserved it. So don't loop me into your moron quote, you know nothing about me! Violence is not the answer, but sometimes a good bust in the mouth sure makes me feel better....

If you buy him beer and beg him to stop, you will appear weak and will likely be taunted more severely.  You will have conditioned him that heckling you gets him beer (see Pavlov's research).  When he doesn't get beer from light heckling, he will up the jeers until you finally give in and buy him more beer.  Not a situation you want to get into, because others will see this and heckle you as well, in hopes that you will reward them with beer too.

The best way to deal with this situation is to prove you are the Alpha-Male and quickly shut him down.  With humans, a fist-fight works well for proving who is the Alpha-Male. If you dethrone the king, he will keep quiet.  If he defeats you and keeps the crown, you must buy him beers every time he taunts you and many vicious fights among the other non-alpha males will likely ensue until the pecking order is established.

I think I saw a show about this on PBS back in the 70's...

like what was said earlier, I will pick up my plastic ball and flush ten and turn and say "which ball now?"  usually gets to em right away, then if he keeps on start running out every strike you can to get under his skin, better yet if you are decently skilled, throw em all brooklyn, THAT really pisses em off

Find out how many balls he brings to the alley and when he says something say"I'm just trying to get as good as you so I only have to bring x balls to the alley.
