The most obnoxious person in your league!
« on: July 25, 2009, 01:22:11 PM »
The most obnoxious person in your league and why!Also does this person have a annoying catch phrase?

 The one guy in our league is not a really bad guy,he is just loud,you can hear him from 24 lanes away.

 He is always sneaking up behind lanes looking for high scores to see if he won a jackpot.We just tell

him to ask but he never does.His catch phrase is:'Dude that's the (insert persons name ) I know."It does
not matter if you are a teammate or not.

I'm bowling in two leagues, but they both seem to have a very similar obnoxious guy it in.  They are both overly competitive and seem to never have a good time unless THEY win.  Put an L next to their name and they throw a tantrum like a child who doesn't get their way.  It's wild, lol.  Makes it fun when you rain on their parade though

Everybody has this guy: Not the best bowler in the house but one of the 10-15 best ones...anytime he isn't shooting lights-out he's impossible to be around...treats every strike like he just punched out for 300 at the U.S. Open...anytime the ball hits the head pin -- pocket or not -- he deserves to strike and if he didn't, here come the f-bombs and complaint about the laneman...add a touch of B.O. and you've got a great night all around.

Runner-up goes to the high-average guy who thinks he's too good to bowl in your league but still shows up every week and makes the rounds in the pit to his friends (prohibited in our league) dispensing advice whether you asked for it or not.

We have 2:

The first guy never shuts up.  You can hear him from 10 lanes over, especially if he's having a good night.  He has no respect when you're throwing a good game.  Always a wise comment to make to the guys going for their first 300 or 800.  And inbetween that the only time he does shut up is when he chews on his non-lit, Jowdy-esk cigar.

The second guy is normally the guy who wins our high average award.  Best house bowler in the area.  He's got 40+ 300's and 20+ 800's.  When he's having a bad game or night, it's over.  You can't even be in the setee area while he's around.  The belly aching about the lanes, approaches and balls is enough to make you want to choke him.  He's a lefty too, which makes a lot of people have more to say when he whines.

OK people-----Im preparing for an onslaught of reader backlash but----Every one of these guys you have mentioned so far have one thing in common-----although they are obnoxious in their ways they all have a strong PASSION of the game.   Give me that over the guy whose normally mr strike -a-holic and when he shoots 300, ho-hums it like its the easiest thing to do in the world.

Man on the Hook - A popular phrase, screamed by THAT bowler.  Only usually happens during the BEER frame and the Man on the Hook is the one who has to strike or buy a round.

Mr. 2 Bird Split - Throws up 2 middle fingers when he gets a split.

How about the guy that doesnt like it when the whole league is loud. it doesnt bother anyone else but him.

Guy that averages 180 and if he beats a higher average bowler he sticks it to them about how their not as good as they think. If he loses and he gets abuse he whines and cries about it.

im 17 years old and this is 2 years ago. A kid 3 years older than me who has shot 7 299s but never a 300, and averages about 200 comes back from college one summer to find out that i had shot a 300 at 15 years old when i had a 175 average. This kid was pissed off cuz he was the cockiest piece of crap and thought he was the greatest thing since sliced bread. He said "i cant believe you shot 300 before me!" He then proceeded to challenge me to a 3 game series for $50. Little did he know i now averaged 225. He shot 590 and i shot 740. Cha ching! Sweet revenge!

1. Tiny. The great big tall guy who tries to see how hard he can throw it, and how far down lane past the arrows that he can land the ball. Loud - distracting - I need to always be aware when "Tiny" is around...

2. Mr Happy - the 175 average bowler who is redfaced and angry after every shot. Kicks the ball return when he leaves a weak 10 - or a weak 5. Tosses out 4 letter epithets when he misses said single pin. I don't know why his team keeps him around - for around 10 years now.

mumzie,

I gotta agree with you about "Mr. Happy". I can't believe he keeps coming back every week if it's so miserable. A little restraint and maturity would go a long way with this guy instead of the "let me draw attention to myself acting like a 10 year old".

If I'm bowling like crap the LAST THING I WANT TO DO IS DRAW ATTENTION TO MYSELF...

how about the guy that draws on a piece of paper and hands it to management of what the oil pattern should look like, he is a lefty and averages 165 throwing a black angle and complains the lanes are flooded when the other lefties are in deep bouncing off the wall, thank god he finally quit last year

I got one for you guys...I got a bowler in my league when he bowls bad and all his balls aren't working, he goes through not only my bag but other bowlers bags to see what balls he can use! Then he brags about all the bowling balls he has in his truck!

You can be intense and have passion without being a hole, though. There's also a line at which having passion for the sport ends and having passion for your own ego/imagined superiority begins.
