Where I come from (Chicago) we used to call powder (ab)users "snowbirds."
One thing "they" all had in common was the inability to shoot pool. They would talk, tell jokes, consume beverages, eat food like there was no tomorrow and generally make noise. Maybe one person in the rotation would take a shot every minute, or three.
"They" would also spend an inordinate amount of time selecting a house cue, rolling it on a table, holding it up and inspecting it from every angle. If there were one hundred house cues, they would make sure to at least touch every single one of them.
During their cue inspection, they would studiously avoid looking at the tip, like it didn't even exist.
Every house cue they inspected and rejected would end up on an unused table or angled against the wall. Like, someone else will put the cue back where it belongs.
They were slobs in everything "they" did. This includes chalking up by drilling the tip of the cue into the chalk cube with force, like they were trying to start a fire with friction. Then, they'd slam the chalk cube down on the side rail hard enough to leave what looked like an impact crater of chalk residue.
But, the one thing I never understood about snowbirds was the fact that they all shot with an open bridge. Why use powder if you're shooting with an open bridge?
I guess their behavior supports the old saying. "When you're stupid, anything is possible."
I worked in a pool hall (The Campus Room) as a "night manager" for two years while going to school. I hated every snowbird and the mess they made that I would ultimately have to clean up.
Shoot safe.
