Pool Related Pet Peeves...

I don't like it when my opponent moves my scoring bead or my penny. I don't like it when my opponent hangs around the table too long after his shot to see if I am hooked. He will find out when I shoot the ball. If I'm not hooked, there is nothing he can do about it, so he may as well sit his butt down. And I don't like it when someone is not paying attention to the match - like they are texting or FB'ing or whatever.
I find all of these disrespectful somehow.

One of my friends is so anal about chalk being face up he will walk over to other tables and move them! I shark him with chalk alot.
I was playing a match in a room that had 2 seats at each table for the players. I turned to sit and some guy and his girl were sitting there!
The guy I'm playing bangs balls on the next table while he waits for his turn. I have to tell him its his turn!
Someone once said to me" a glove? You better be good!" He never got a shot!!
A team mate asks me what they should shoot next and then argues with me.
Another guy in our league used to take well over 30 practice strokes until we started counting them out loud. He took our inconsidedrate behavior well and actually only does about 20 or so now.
And the worst is having to ask for Ketchup!!! This is America, right?

OK, a new pet peeve!
I don't know if the ketchup is going on the balls, your cue tip, or your hands and the cue shaft but I have to admit that if I ever have to play somebody covering everything in ketchup I'm going to hang up my cue, America or not!

So, you wanna know my pet peeve huh? Well, BY FAR it's finally getting up the courage to once again even go to one of the few poolrooms in my area, do so, and then instantly remember why I don't go anymore and it cures me for another six months.
Its that friggin noise you kids blare with the "F" word every other song, "F" this, "F" that, lets "F". Its that rap s^%#t garbage screaming noise you somehow confuse with music. It makes my blood boil and makes me want to take a bat to the jukebox, dust off my hands, and say there ..... there's your "Fing" music.
I usually last a half hour and then unscrew, shaking my head remembering what poolrooms used to be like and walk away in total disgust with the abomination of what the great game of pool has evolved into. Or I should say "devolved" to.
***** deleted ***** I ain't even saying it.

Lots of good understandable annoyances here, mine are:
Making a foul and not declaring it, especially when you know you've done it and so does everyone else in the room.
Cigarettes and drinks on or over the table.
Getting so drunk you can hardly stand up let alone play pool, OMG that's some of my team!

i didnt read the entire forum, but mine goes as follows:
first would be the guy whos been playing for a few weeks and thinks he knows more about pool than grady matthews and tries to give you his advice on how he wouldve played the shot if you miss
the guys who dump the balls from the tray
if youre playing a match and the guy on the table behind you is practicing. hes practing certain shots. ok its great youre practicing, but could you please practice on the other side of the table.
and last is when im practicing and theres the one guy who wants gamble but i dont feel like it, so he bugs and bugs and bugs the hell out of me until im forced to put him in his place.

Just for my Cheeseburger Hu, But I do Have a t that says I put ketchup on my ketchup.
My biggest pet peeve is that I have too many pet peeves. And it effects my game more often than I'd like. 
Oh, like, when someone sees my talc bottle and uses it, and splashes it over their hand, simultaneously sprinkling my case and cue with it. Then proceeds to paint the table and balls white so it looks like the Pillsbury doughboy was just gang raped.
KK9 <-- takes another valium
