Smoke whiners.
Smokers
Not any more Iowa banded smoking in bars. It's great I don't care who smokes my brother and most of my friends do. But I use to come home from the bar hang my coat in the closet. The next morning I'd open the door and it'd reek. Not any more. Like I said I don't care if you smoke I just don't think I should have to breathe it in.
This has happened to me more times than I can count. Maybe its because I am the short guy at the table, maybe the other guy is just a d*ck. After a while I resorted to remembering the year on my loonie or adding a nickle or dime to my pile so I could tell the difference.
- pool hall owner who know that you are playing "seriously" and instead of using oneof the 30 free tables in the hall, use one of the three tables next to you for the group of b-day celebrating teenagers...
- my own disability to focus, when there are funny songs from the mudic box, or a banger next table discusses "the real 8 Ball rules" (mostly self modified bar rules)
- my own disability to NOT try to help the people next table id they are about to break their arms and fingers trying to play some balls the first time (or one of their first times)

This steams-my-clams:angry:: You miss your shot, go and sit down and your opponent's nowhere to be seen. Next thing you know, he/she is up on the stage singing karaoke:frown: I don't know what pi$$es me off the most, the having to wait or the overly-loud, obnoxious singing!!!

You may also forfeit your phone depending on who you are playing.
Aw man, karaoke. I'd rather have a colonoscopy... :frown:
You've got my vote...
You need to work on your focus. This thread isn't about your favorite activity, smoking, so why don't you go over to the smoking thread if you all you want to do is create conflict in this thread?
A colonoscopy. With or without anesthetic?
My first one was scary. I saw what I thought was the camera tube and I was thinking, you're putting that you know where.
The Dr. kept telling me not to fight it. Sorry bud, just a natural reaction here.
You can build a space shuttle but you can't make a camera tube smaller than 2" PVC pipe?
Sorry, I'll take Karaoke if I have to tho.

to be completely honest...I probably AM more concerned with anything other than what my opponent is doing. Whether it's a ballgame on the tv, the cute little waitress who smells REAL good, a text from a golf buddy, whatever. I'll occasionally look up to see if they are still shooting, or if I need to rack, but I'm hardly ever watching them "play". Only exception is when I'm playing 1P....9 ball, 8 ball, etc., just let me know when I have to shoot. I realize that that may get to some folks, but I think that is on them....I don't have to "play", and pay attn. the exact same way they do. I've run into "players" that will take a seat, and sit there and stew if I don't know it's my shot 30 seconds after they missed....why not say something instead of expecting me to jump out of my chair before the balls even stop rolling....?
In fact, I'll add that to my dislikes - guys that jump out of their seats even when they THINK you missed. Funny ones are when you are playing a carom....
I had to search to pull this up. I played a guy that I was introduced to my a mutual acquaintance yesterday. He wouldn’t shut up. Had to drop names of well known players he’s played and go over specific games and shots he’s made. Cursed like a sailor. Slowed the game down to a crawl. I finally had to be rude and tell him I don’t want to hear more war stories because I only have limited time to play (which was true). When it was over I packed up and left I refused to even say “goodbye” or “enjoyed playing with you”. First time in over 60 years of playing I’ve ever played with someone who annoyed the h*ll out of me.

Things that bug me.....in league, when its my shot, and the opponent is at the end of the table bending down looking at my ball to see if I can hit it or not. Also, when the opponent misses, and says "good game", when i still have a ball or two or three on the table. I have since talked to my league operator about the latter, and next time that happens, its loss of game.
THE MOST annoying thing to me in pool rooms today is LOUD FUCKING MUSIC! It has become my number 1 problem in pool.
It got so bad at one place I downloaded a decibel app to see if I was just losing it, The decibels were between 117 and 124!! That equates to a very loud rock concert volume. OSHA regulations state that employees subjected to levels over 80 decibels for an 8 hour shift can experience damage to their hearing.
I went to the team captain and showed him
my findings and he attempted to convince the owners of the sound level dangers. They refused to lower the volume saying they sold more alcohol when the volume was high.
I left the team and the pool room.. I am not damaging my hearing just to play pool in a place that only cares about themselves and is willing to damage my health in the process. Screw that!

most annyoing thing to me is when im the only one in the room and it never fails, they always take a table right next to me so that i now have to wait for them to be out of the way for me to rack or shoot. i move around the table alot and might take a seat once in 40mins plus
not as annoying but still is
the physics professors that must go over each shot after , oh man i needed more top, should have used more inside . i was trying to get there and this and that
and those that just never shut up
