Another Episode Of: You Know You're Addicted To Pool When...

When you'd rather spend evenings watching youtube pool matches from the 90s than any show they put on T.V. these days.

I don't even have to be addicted to do that. Network tv imo has sucked for a long time. I watch almost no network tv, occasionally news.

You know you're addicted when your cue goes everywhere you do. Always ready for a game.
 
When you feel that fleeting moment of glee, as you pass a hotel sign that says, 'Pool'... which is quickly replaced by feelings of disappointment and betrayal.

I saw this a had to laugh. I was gonna say when the word pool is no longer a body of water.
or...
when you are sitting at your desk or in a meeting and find yourself practicing your bridge with your pencil or pen
 
...when you wonder if you kick an English billiard player in the balls...
...do you get two points for a carom?.........uh, they call it ‘cannon’...:scratchhead:
 
When you have 2 young kids at home, so you don't often have a chance to get away on your own for a weekend, but your wife gives you a pass now and then because you do the dad routine on your own when she travels for work, and you have out-of-town friends within easy driving distance but you haven't seen them in years...

...because there are also pool tournaments within driving distance.

Not that I know anyone like that.
 
Guiltier....when you wake up at 4:00 AM.....with the vision of a one pocket or 3-cushion
lay-out.....and you go to an all night pool hall to try them.

That beats what I have. Lol

My wife and I had a few words about my pool obsession many years ago. It went something like this...

With her hands on her hips and a serious look on her face, she asked, "How can you play pool for two days straight!"

"Honey, I'm sorry. But when I'm really hit'n 'em, when I'm play'n great, I don't pay attention to time...I just don't want it to stop."

She thought about that for about 3 seconds and said, "Okay. But what about the times when you aren't playing so great?"

I shrugged my shoulders. "Well....then I don't wanna stop until I start hit'n em. It's a catch-22." :D
