Nickels work great. :thumbup:
I have a couple guys on my Sunday nite league who do this, not only put the chalk upside down but they also feel the need to tap the chalk on the rail like they have to clean out the dust from the hole. Add to this the guy who has to powder his hand up to his elbow, BETWEEN INNINGS!!, it just makes a huge mess of the table. I am not sure if they are blind or not, but one would think they can see the mess they are making and maybe just change some of their habits a little but so far this does not appear to be the case. When it is my turn to play I just grab my micro fiber towel and wipe down the rails and the cloth, one guy suggested that the dirty table must really bother me, I told him I would just rather prefer not to have a blue shaft on my cue.
That about covers it for me....

Our Tuesday night league coincides with darts night. It's bad enough that those people are loud enough for both leagues but what really bothers me is when they make their way to the bathrooms at the end of the hall and walk around,in front of and INTO you as your trying to shoot. Very annoying.
I laugh every time I see someone do this...Especially when they miscue right after and then complain about shitty chalk lol
I love wachting Corey play, his drilling is a bit unorthodox but Dechaine is worse. Come to think of it everything he does annoys me. His smug look, his cocky strut around the table, the way he chalks, his posture, his antics and complaining.. did I leave anything out?
You left out the fact that he isn't even that good.
Admitting one's sin is the first step towards salvation...
1. I am a driller. I try not to be, but it is something that's become ingrained in my routine between shots. I can't seem to think without chalking my cue incessantly.
2. Upside down chalk: Used to annoy me quite a bit. Now I just think it's a stupid thing to do.
3. Removing excess chalk (blowing or tapping cue on rail): I actually read in a billiard book (can't recall which one) that you are supposed to do this. Well, not tap the cue on the rail, but remove excess chalk from the tip. Then, I saw a billiard broadcast where Alan Hopkins was providing commentary and stated that the only way to get too much chalk on a cue tip was to glue it there. I don't know which I believe, but I never blow on the tip or do anything else to remove chalk.
4. Powder room: I tend to powder my hands a lot while playing. But that's because my hands sweat quite a bit. However, I never leave a "cloud" around me or turn the felt white as some do.
There is not much that bothers me while playing pool. It is as close to heaven as I can get on this earth.

I love to drill and I love to tap. I also like my shaft dirty. Every now and then it gets cleaned. But 99.9% of the time it is blue real blue. As far as chalk goes I used to be a master hater but that changed when I got married.
Ahhhh..... married.
You are fine, Sir. I can not fault you.
<w> That would be someone else's job.
Bless your squeaking blue master shaft tapping soul. Drink a beer and tell a teen aged boy he is really a male of the species and should stop looking like he wants to be a girl that looks like she/he/it fell down a flight of stairs while holding their grandpa's tackle box and threaten him with a magnet and suspenders.

agreed, but I love me some hip-hop while I play! I love all types of music, except for new country music. The one type of music I HATE to listen to while playing is anything slow and/or depressing. Most newer R&B makes me want to punch small children...
any way, I love all the sound of the pool hall, even the squeaky chalk!
i hate it when you are on a table with just one or 2 pieces of chalk, and everytime the other guy misses the first thing he does is picks up the chalk and walks off with it.
