My latest version of groups of people/professions who I loathe to be around. Poolplayers are moving up the list.

1.) Car salesman (the absolute shadiest of all!)

2.) Lawyers (seem to make EVERYBODY'S list)

2.) Politicians ('nuff said ;))

4.) Poolplayers (per capita the biggest bunch of a-holes I've ever been around)

5.) Gun-control advocates (just felt the breeze of the poolplayers passing them in the rankings :rolleyes:)

What's your list/rankings???

Maniac (being kinda tongue-in-cheek here. not wanting to get anyone's panties twisted-up into a wad :grin:)

P.S. Keep in mind I have met MANY fine people in the pool world, both in the halls and on the forums.
 
Maniac:

You might want to add "6.) Panty twisters" to that list. And you just made that list. :p :D

This is the kind of moronic post that makes me look forward to being banned again.

6.) pj <- NOT j/k

Pool people are good by me. Made most of my friends playing pool.

But a shit list is a shit list.
Car Sales people
Most but not every sales person
Incompetent car mechanics
X wives
Future X wives
Appliance delivery people (kitchen stuff). They can't get through the door without ooops.
People that park next me.....the door dingers
BUT THE #1 ShitListers are the people that bring their crying babies to restaurants....You Win...way to go:thumbup:

Did you hear about the Lawyer who took Viagra?

































He got taller!


...now back to the NPR
 
I too hate deal with Car Salesmen, as most have ZERO PRODUCT KNOWLEDGE, are not in ANY WAY PROFESSIONAL, and honestly if I ran a walk in type of business, and treated my potential client the way most were treated when they stepped on a CAR LOT. I would be out of business, 12, 2, 30 DAYS and GONE.

I would rater fight off a Pit Bull attack, than walk on a Car lot.
 
I know one of my favorite lines was "show me a pool player and I 'll show you a smartass". I include myself in that category; not a rant raving ass but I do have my moments.

The service folks in Vegas used to tell me at bars, places to eat. cabbies and such that they didn't look forward to pool events because most pool players didn't tip very well.

Reputations are tuff to live down even when they are not accurate.

Dog Catcher should be in the top 3

Lists tend to be subjective....my dog would have dog catcher as #1.

There are politicians, lawyers, and pool players that are wonderful people.
I've known people in car sales that I would trust with my life.

So my list will start with-mass murderers-suicide bombers-tyrants.

Near the bottom of the list would be -child molesters- they are the 'nits' of
the bad guys, not enough heart to put themselves in danger.
 
Lawyers top my list like the one that just got Casey Anthomy off. I like the joke what do you have with a 100 lawyers chained together at the bottom of the lake? Answer a good start.:thumbup:
 
1. Politicians
2. Rednecks (most, not all)
3. Carsalesmen
4. Animal abusers
5. Jason Hunt


They all SUCK! I don't have a "sh*t-list" but they do qualify for people I wouldn't piss on if they were on fire list.

If Politicians really wanted to keep the price of gasoline lower, they would pay for there own cars, gas, car insurance, & all the trips they make overseas to see our troops or taking there family on vacations to disney world. But then again thats like asking for a miracle to happen. Just saying

My list was of people I hate to be around. I would love to be around your above mentioned people, with a Saiga shotgun in my hand (25-round drum). But then of course, the people that were #5 on my list would object :rolleyes:.

I too know car salesmen, lawyers, poolplayers, etc. that are fine people. It's just that some of the biggest jerks/a-holes/d*ckheads that I've personally met were in my categories listed. I have as yet to meet a mass-murderer, suicide bomber, tyrant, child-molester, and the likes.

Remember, tongue-in-cheek.

The reason I started this thread was because of something that happened to me in a tournament last night. Keep in mind, i JUST quit playing in APA leagues to focus more on mid-week tournaments because I just got tired of all the poor sportsmanship/table etiquette that was going on in my league. So last night I go to a poolhall 29 miles from my house to play in their 9-ball tournament. I'm hill-hill with a player that I'm giving two games on-the-wire to. I'm running the 5-ball down the rail with hard high/right english because the 6-ball is up on the short rail near my grip hand (could not use low left because of traffic). I made the shot but accidently brushed the 7-ball into the corner pocket wth my grip hand. Keep in mind we are playing cue ball fouls only. I told him what I did and where the 7-ball was sitting (I don't even think he realized what happened nor would have known if I had simply kept shooting). He asked a couple of people at the surrounding tables and they all said to spot it or put it back where it was (he had NO clue where it was, but had to have known it was near the corner pocket or it could not have been brushed in), but that a foul had not been commited. He decides to go to the TD and ask for a ruling. I stayed in my chair as I didn't see a need to hear the ruling. He comes back and says that the TD said if the cueball was moving in a direction to where it would have made contact with the 7-ball (which was now no longer on the table), then a foul was commited and he would have ball-in-hand. Now, he KNOWS that the cueball would not have hit the 7-ball, not even close. He said the TD said that it was HIS call to make, so he chose to keep the 7-ball down and take ball-in-hand, thus running the three remaining balls and winning the match. When he told me that he was calling a foul and taking ball-in-hand, I said to him "If you want to win that way, go ahead. I'm only here to have fun" (to which a few people around us nodded their heads in support of me). Now, I admit that I started this whole scenario by brushing the 7-ball into the pocket, be he was outright dishonest in his assessment of where the cueballs path was going. So coupled with my APA league dealings and what happened last night, this thread was born. I was trying to avoid this little rant by keeping my OP short, sweet, and to the point with a little side humor tossed-in for the heck of it. But at least I got last night off my chest (I lost the losers bracket match in a hill-hill match when my opponent sh*t-in the 9-ball early in the rack. I was spotting him two games also).

Add to that list, posters who use contrived controversy, to get cheap responses instead of having something substantive to say.
 
I would add to the list drunken people who think that they have to get right up in your face to talk to you, and all you smell is beer and stale smokers breath. have come seriously close to b*tch slappin someone a time or two.
