Stupid things you see in a Pool hall

How about the poolroom owner that will scratch his dog all over and then make a sandwich for somebody without washing his hands.
I like the guy with the extra large jumbo container of baby powder that covers both hands, part of the table and the floor like a crop duster.
They ain't gonna miscue from their chair.
I've seen this too many times... and it gets all over the table, very distracting.
This is just a big peeve of mine, I can't stand people putting chalk on the table face down. It'll get all over the place and all over clothing that way.
Craziest Stuff I have seen is generaly after gambling.
1. A guy eat a piece of chalk after he lost.
2. Seen a guy throw his whole pool case with cues in it on top of a KMART after he lost.
3. Seen a Guy scratch, pick up the cue ball throw is across the pool room, the ball skips off two other pool tables then hits a guy in the neck.
4. Seen a guy lay down in the street and pray for a car to hit him after he lost. (More than once)
5. A seen a set being played, with a guy posting his $1,500 bet in $1.00 bills. It was funny seeing it stacked on the lights.
6. I seen a Guy lose, take his cue and case, go out in the parking lot and start riding back and forth over the cue and case in his car.
7. Seen a guy throw his pool cue like a javlin threw a big sheet glass window in front of the pool room.
8. We where playing poker one night in the pool room, It was a very small game. One guy lost $1,500. Which was way more money than every one bought in for. As the guy was leaving he said, "If I had more money I could have won"

I see a dude at one of the places I play a lot who wears a brown cotton work glove on his bridge hand. He is a person of color though so it hardly shows.
Probably the dumbest thing I see at the pool hall though is the guys over in the corner discussing the idiotic things the other patrons in the pool hall are doing wrong. Been over there with 'em a few times too lol!

Ive thrown a measle cue ball on top of the bank parking lot across the street from the pool hall once.
Racking in 8-ball and they sit the 8 on top of the head ball and 2 balls behind it, rack it tight, drop the 8 into the rack, then remove the rack.. "racks it tighter that way".
Also rubbing the powder on both hands like lotion, getting it all over the table.. a friend does this, we call him Lebron, and walking away chalking the stick after a miss with the only chalk.. just ignorant.

Did he have a 70-inch cue, ass weights, and a temper?
I kid you not on this.
You think only Phil Helmuth brings his mom to a tournament ?
One dude often brought his mom to a local tournament.
I played him once and he messed up a game and started whining to his mom.
This during my turn on the table already.

Two younger fellows are playing slop. Suddenly there is a loud yell of, "Jump Shot!" and a heart-wrenching scoop launches the cueball into a nearby wall. Thankfully, the 860 I helped put on a few weeks before did not suffer for it.
I'm not sure why in a game of "Hit'n'Hope" you feel the need to announce a jump as if it's an achievement. Even worse when you make yourself known to everyone else and then proceed to scrape your cue across the bed of the table.

The one thing that really use to piss me off was the guy who will break as soon as you lift the rack. I had a cue ball go flying by my head one night in a bar in Nurnburg Germany. I helped the guy practice some restricted breathing exercises after that, from that point on I always lay my cue on the table across the front of the rack. I even keep the tip in front of the rack until I am clear, at least if I am playing someone that I don't know.

One time I'm playing a college 9-ball tournament and there are no scoring beads in the room. So my opponent and I agree to use coins under the rail.
In the middle of our set, another player walks by, exclaims, "There's money on the table!" and proceeds to grab our quarters.
Later in that same tournament, someone else comes over and peeks in my 2x4 case leaning against the wall and says "He has extra tops in there."
....
On the plus side, those were easy tournaments to win.

One guy did that to me.
Then on his next break, I put a chalk in front of the rack while I was racking.
Guess what ?
As soon as I lifted the triangle, he broke.
He felt like an idiot after that.
A chalk in front of the triangle? Wouldn't that serve as a ramp to help the cueball get airborne?
Sounds dangerous.
