Asking the house man for a 9-ball rack,
Racking the balls at the wrong end of the table,
Racking the balls from the side of the table and not from the foot end,
Emptying the ball tray on a table that is NOT lit up to start playing,
Rolling the house cues on the table to see if they are level,
Asking the house man for talc/baby powder,
Walking around the tables looking for the coin slot,
The putt-putt rule - moving the CB off the rail by a cue butt's width
Any other classic requests / moves come to mind that you hear / see when a non-regular walks in a poolroom, other than the obvious, that are a dead giveaway they are either not a player, or they're a hustler?
