So I made a comment earlier in another thread about one of my pet peeves in pool: when your opponent misses, and leaves you unintentionally blocked and his teammates cheer "nice shot", "way to go man".
I had a response from someone that stated: I love to look at them and go "so that was a defensive shot then? and reach for the score sheet.....they either suck up and admit it was luck or get a defensive shot marked down and then they dread the raising of the skill level.
When they admit it was luck and suddenly the cheering stops....
I am not sure why I had never thought of it before but I cannot wait for it to happen now! One of my Pet Peeves is solved!
So that gave me an idea for a fun thread. I figure people could list some Pet Peeves and others could list what they do to get past them.
So here is another of mine, and for people who know me, my biggest pet peeve. Slow players. Not slow and methodical. Not slow and disciplined. I mean the ones where that have two balls left. A straight in stop shot that leaves you straight on the last ball. They're not chalking, they're not stroking, they are just standing there looking at the table like they don't know what to do. 2 minutes later they shoot the obvious, and sometimes only possible shot.
Let the ranting begin! :grin:
