I had some personal stuff come between me and a player on the other team last week. In short, he was a friend, was a horrible husband, getting divorced and is making it ugly. He NEVER wanted to join a Boise team because he didn't want to drive. Now that his ex is on MY team (all three of us were on a team, that's where I met them) he has joined 4 teams, 2 of those in Boise. Well his team played my team so she didn't show up so I couldn't play. When I called him out he started talking about her being on my team and how he wants his sticks back (she called me about pool and she told me she ain't giving his cues back and I said I'm not getting in the middle of it) and I told him I wasn't getting in the middle of it.
On top of that, we have an elderly gentleman on my team who happens to be great friend of mine and I do my best to take care of him. Well, in the early part of my buddies game with a drunk cocky prick my former buddy gets up and slams his foot down 3ft behind my buddie's back right in the middle of his backstroke. That was it, I lost it. Speaking with my co-captain about it yesterday he thought I was going to take the table with me I got up so fast. Anyways, I flew across the room and said "WTF was that", he tried playing it off and that pissed me off more. After a bunch of f bombs he kept denying it and went to put his drink in my face and just as I went to knock it out of his hands his captain got between us. I went and sat down and kept my mouth shut after that.
Then, he's playing his game right next to my table and keeps trying to talk to me. I just looked straight ahead and said, play your game "bob" (not his name). After saying that a few times I asked him what his problem was and he starts denying the stomping the foot thing (again
) so I just raised my voice again and told him I said my f'n peace and you've denied it, now just f'n drop it". His response was, "so that's how you're going to play it?". I just looked ahead and said "Play your game, bob".
Later, we spoke for a few minutes and I told him, at some point we will get drunk together, but not right now. In the end we'll be good, but there are consequences for your actions and I wasn't letting him off the hook.
