...anyone have to bowl with this guy?

A bowler who puts powder or talc on everything from his hands, to his shoes and leaves a LeBron James puff of powder when he throws the ball?

I thought I had seen everything on league nights until Sunday night.  

I walked up to bowl and noticed a little pile of powder in front of the console.  I was about to clean it up when I was informed that someone on the opposing team put it there so he could "powder" his slide shoe.  WTF?

Anyway, I go sit down and Powder Man steps up.  He powders his thumb, then he powders the thumb hole on his ball.  Then he taps his slide shoe in the powder on the floor.  AND HE'S WEARING HOUSE SHOES.  He makes his approach and delivery and leave a poof of powder as he releases the ball.

He got upset when I asked him to wipe off the approach after he powdered it all up.

Had this exact problem last week on my sunday league, and had to inform the offender that Easy slide is NOT for your shoes. Of course it was too late as the approaches had already been defiled.
I do use rosin (and alot at that) however I keep it confined to its bag and dip my fingers and thumb in.

OH.. and this was after one of his teamates came in with his ball covered in snow and proceeded to put it on the rack. When the waitress said something about it he said "it'll melt" Duh... I asked him to please wipe it off before he had a puddle.

Ok, it's nice to know that I'm not the only one experiencing this.  LOL.

Sunday night is the fun league night for me so I sit and bowler watch.

Last Sunday it was "Mr. Man on the Hook" yelling guy.  I think he was tweaking out on meth though.
