problem in my pool hall

[RBLilly]

Mrs. thing

Curious as to why you couldn't have asked her nicely to quiet down a bit rather than have her threatened by the owner or mgmt to leave or shut-up. Not saying you were wrong but don't you think she would have obliged had you ask nicely.

Originally I did ask her to pipe down, and after several weeks of her doing the same thing I just decided to nip that one in the butt and told the manager to quiet her down. Not my job to keep customers happy, it is his job to do that.

All's well that end's well. LOL

Call that guy from Road House. He'll straighten your pool room out. The bad part is that he'll leave with one of the hot chicks from the room as well.

Seriously I think you should publicly taunt him as much as possible until he plays you. Whatever he does, give it back to him even more.

That one works.

There was a guy who doesn't shoot pool who kept giving me grief every time I'd miss a shot. Loud grief. Really getting on my case. I challenged him right then to a game for something big. He said it wasn't big, and he multiplied it by ten. I'd play for X, and if I lost would pay him X. If he lost he'd pay me 10X. I told him he had NO chance. I'd take every dime he had. He shut up, and never bothered me again.

Another guy blatantly sharked me when I was down on the 8. Shouted out "Hey wait a minute. You can't make that shot!" Staying down, I calmly turned my head and coldly asked him if he wanted to bet 500 smackeroos on that. He went silent. I asked him again. No answer. I drilled that 8 into the heart of the pocket.

Taunt the guy, get him to play or shut up.

I cant believe nobody has mentioned this yet.
How sure are you he is giving you the "Evil Eye"?
Maybe he thinks you are cute, and cant take his eyes off you.

I agree, sounds like the guy is a punk. Make it clear to him that you like women.

do what I do

Look him straight in the eye and say "YOU GOT THE 8, BEEOTCH!and iif that does not work just take out your pistol and shoot him.

Take an extra sock with ya next time. Put a ball in it and the next time he gets out of line, KERPLUNK. MF won't know what hit him. When he wakes up, tell em he passed out when you made the last shot for the cheese. Tell em he doubled the bet. LOL That ought to get his attention.

Here's what I would generally do to handle this sort of sour situation... Of course the proper approach depends on the persons involved, but maybe this will help...

I think it's as simple as buying the guy a drink, being the bigger man, and just talking about the situation with him. I've found that you can generally settle most disputes this way, provided that the person is at least somewhat reasonable. If you can get into a sincere conversation with this guy, you ought to find out rather quickly which road the two of you will take. Maybe you will forgive and forget, or end up just ignoring eachother in the future. A confrontation is needed here, but with an underlying mission of peacemaking. You don't need to resort to violence or profanities or the like. Talk to the guy in a diplomatic way, and the situation is bound to turn itself around. Who knows, he might end up turning into a lifelong friend of immeasurable value. I know, because it once happened to me!

Check to see if he is on the sex offender list. If he is mention it in public, he will leave and not come back.

You should give the police on a hot tip that there is a drunk driver on the road. Then give them his liscense tag #. Tell them that he almost hit you. I wouldn't tell them that he was coming from your poolroom though. You wouldn't want them to be scouting the place no more than they already are. If he has no liscense then he will have a hard time getting to the poolroom.

Or even better...make a small investment to solve the problem. Buy an illegal powdered substance and put in into small baggie corners. Use a slim jim to break into his vehicle, then put the baggies and a wad of small bills into the glove box. Then call the police and tell them you've seen this guy handing out some substance to children and then give them his tag number. Problem solved for several years anyway.

update

Wow - Varney and Cdavis - "you guys are over the top" I'll remind myself never to get on your bad side. As an update the guy came up to me last week and apologized. And I quote, " I was having a bad day and I took it out on you." Water under the bridge in my book. Thanks to all who responded.
