I was at masters one night.

the tables (for drinks and stuff) are wobbley.

I know a dude who recently recieved 2 brand new michael benders.

so he has this fold open case.. with like 4 sticks in there, opened, laying across two chairs. he was practicing on the tight pockets. he likes using all of his sticks for some reason.

so i dont know who but.. somebody placed a cup of hot coffee on the table directly above this guys case. ON THE EDGE! lol. now its wed tourney night and ppl is all around the place. conversating shooting, like 4-5 ppl crowded around this table with the coffee on it bullshitting and gambling on the calcuttas. somebody bumps the table and there goes the coffeee !!!! spills ALL OVER HIS STICKS and the coffee is rolling around his case. lol.

he was mad but couldnt do nothing because obviously it was no ones coffee and nobody bumped into the table :rolleyes: so he was red faced wiping down his sticks and case for the rest of the night.
 
One situation comes to mind: If I'd have been Nick van den Berg at the IPT 8-ball tourney where Earl was dogging him and humiliating his family, I'd have been REAL pi$$ed :rolleyes: . Enough to where I would have kindly asked him to step outside (to heck with the pool game) :eek: .

Yep, some retard had to put their damn coffee there. I know exactly what that is like. I hate people.

Think of it this way, if the coffee was already there, do you think this guy would have put his case there? NO WAY! So everybody, watch where you put your coffee!

Like, you find this funny, like, why???
 
That really really sucks. Who's fault is it? Everyone in the story had a part in it. In the end, you need to be really careful of your stuff and where you put it. It may sound like I'm blaming the owner of the cues, but that's not it.

No matter how careful you are, you can always get screwed. You could look behind you before shooting to make sure you're clear, and then after you get down on your shot, someone could come around the other table and accidentally smash their cue into yours.

After reading this, I know I am going to be even more anal than I already am about where I leave my cues, because of crap like this. Its like defensive driving. It can save your life.
 
Bummer but really his own fault.

Sure it sucks. But it sounds to me like the guy had not left his case opened up in a very safe place. I always fined a safe corner away from beverages to place my equipment. I am sure that he will now also. I hope he was able to get it all dried out okay.

Good point, 3 people played a roll in this event. Sticks on the chairs, he probably shouldn't block the chairs anyway... Coffee on the edge... And someone bumped the thing...
 
I like to put my case and stuff under the table I am playing on. A person has to really go out of their way and be obvious about it to **** with my stuff.
 
Well, I've never been there to make a judgement, but always been told as a bar-back to be aware of surrondings. I have had many even place beer on the rail. Of course, I notice it immediately and politely remind them that the pool table has it's purpose, and does the table by it.

I've always come to know when it comes to public places that serve beverages, always look for a spill! :)

I was once practicing in a room that had ping-pong tables. I was taking a break for a moment when a ping-pong ball landed under my table. The guy walks over and grabs my cue to sweep the ping-pong ball out. I immediately said, "HEY, THAT'S A $500 CUE!!!! THE $5 BROOMS ARE OVER THERE!!!!"

I like this idea, except for the two cues that I'm using. One of the pool halls around here has baskets under the table so you can throw your loose belongings/coats/etc. in them while you play. I think that's a GREAT idea, in fact, I'm going to suggest it at my local hall tonight...or at least get one for the 1st table where I'm always playing. ;)

There is a pool room around here that has a half-wall around the playing area, so when you come in you can't walk down through the tables and that first section is where all of the nice Diamond tables are with all of the good players. In the back there is a section of GC III's that are in decent shape, but you'll find the bangers back there. This cuts down on the ignourant (for lack of a better word) traffic through the money games and such. It's a nice setup.
 
iv started to put my case and other things im not using under the table so there is no chance of anything like this hapening
 
Similar story happened about 9-10 years ago. We were playing a league match in a dive and were just crushing the drinking team we were playing. An unknown drunk asks an even drunker woman to dance to a song that was much like a polka.

As soon as they started our team almost said in chorus, "Get the cues!" They made there way surprisingly around the room a couple of times making a wide circuit around both tables. Then they fell directly into our opponents massed sticks shoulders first.

We felt sick and like laughing at the same time. The other team just sat and watched them not moving at any time to save thier sticks!

Seeing people put drinks on the rails really pisses me off, you know those same people will whine about a table that has stains on the cloth & yet they still do it! When my family ran a pub in England years ago we'd always watch out for that, one guy in particular would do it often. When we left the business he ended up buying the pool table & on the last night we were open he put his beer on the rail & of course it got spilled. He was pissed (in both US & UK meanings) but I bet he didn't do it again!

Oh yeah, smoking over tables too. Bugs the crap out of me. I'm a smoker but I do know what an ashtray is for!
 
When I was in college, the pool tables at the student union were in a separate room from the desk where the employees sit. So they could only see 2 of the tables out of 10. Because of that, no one official was really around to regulate on people when they put stuff on the tables.

Well, one day, I actually saw someone put a thing of nacho cheese on the rail! It was there for about 5 seconds before I approached him to explain why you cannot place a bowl of nacho cheese on a pool table rail. LOL. Now that I think about it, I'm surprised that there weren't more spills in that place.

I was playin a guy about 3 weeks ago. And the first thing he did was open his soda 20oz. and left it on the table right above my jacket. with the cap open! so i looked at him and he picked up his soda. proceeded to go to the bathroom. this is after i just broke the first rack. he comes back and puts the soda in the same spot. i got fustrated and moved my jacket some where else. im aware of these things when i play. i was like this f*ing guys trying to shark me. later on in the set it was 4-2 me. he won a game and instead of moving the 3rd bead for himself he moved one of mine back and pushed 2 on his side just to switch colors on me! i just looked at him like wtf ? but said f*ck it and kept playing so because i didnt want to lose my head that early in the tournament.
