My wife and I went out last Friday night for dinner and then to play some. We decided to check out a pool hall that neither of us has been to before. We walk in and the place is upstairs. We go up and there are about 15 or 16 nine foot Brunswicks, a few dart lanes a jukebox and a basic looking bar. We get a table and start playing.
The area of the room we are in has two rows of tables, end to end, with each row having 4 tables. We are on the second table in one of the rows and the third table is empty.
A short time later a group starts using the third table. This group consists of two young men and a young woman. They all look to be in their early 20s. They all have on IPods. So far no problems. As the young woman is shooting one of the guys, who appears to be her SO, keeps standing at the end of their table, closest to our table, with his hands on the end of the table, wide stanced and his legs extended towards our table. This guy is almost planted there and won't move.
Each time either myself or my wife need to shoot from the end of the table this guy is in the way. I try and casually ask him to move but he can't hear a word I am saying cause the damn IPod is blasting in his ears. I finally get his attention and he moves. You think he might keep an eye out but no way. It happens several more times. I try and talk to the guy to ask him to pay attention but I can't because the guy won't turn off or down the damn IPod. My wife and I leave.
I am not a violent person but this kid was rude. I wanted to grab the cord for those ear buds and give it a good yank. Nothing upsets me more than when I am trying to talk to someone and I feel they are ignoring or disrespecting me.
