Stinky situation

ShootingArts said:
I think the stinker may just have the second best shark going. My favorite is the voices though. Try playing somebody that not only is listening to the voices while playing but getting in violent arguments with the voices and making death threats to thin air. Scares the chit out of people playing me! The occasional mad laughter when they bend over in front of me tends to make them nervous too.

I agree with the "let management deal with it" idea. Second choice is give him a GI scrubdown and some decent clothes. The poor bassett may be living on what he makes in the pool hall. Since most pro's can't make it on their pool earnings, think where he is at.

This guy can't play worth a darn. Whatever money he has doesn't come from hustling pool.
 
This guy has been coming in the bar for 2 years and no one has shown him the door? He can't smell that bad if they let him in all that time. If he really was that bad I'd buy a bar of soap, washcloth and towel and tell him to use them before he came back in to play pool or drink again. Johnnyt

There's a fellow who plays in one of the local handicapped 9 ball tournaments who is a street person, probably homeless, and stinks to high heaven. His favored 9 ball attack style involves firing on the 9 ball every chance he gets. His handicap is a 3, the lowest possible, and from time to time he takes out some pretty good players.

One thing is his playing style, which people can deal with, the other is his very evident lack of personal hygiene. He can easily be detected without ever seeing him, just by the stench.

Recently one player bit the dust; maybe he wasn't so focused on making balls but getting out of stink range of this guy.

By the way, the guy is tall, skinny, bony, strong, and looks not unlike the Grim Reaper. I heard him on one occasion (when someone gave him some grief) warn that he'd take them out and "whup yore a$$"...

Talking with the TD doesn't seem to have produced any positive results.

How would you deal with this situation?

You might offor to take him home and let him take a shower while you wash his clothes. Sounds like he could use a little foot washing while he is there also. There but by the grace of God goes you Flex.
I met two people from Switzerland in a K-Mart parking lot. Filthy by your standards. They flew over and purchased a VW Buss from a dealer in Washington, D.C. I took em home, gave them a shower, did their laundry and fed them. They had 20 grand in their sox. Came over here to travel the US for a year. Once my friend had fixed the van (1.5 months later) off they went. Ester and Urs are still my friends today. They have a very different outlook on Americans than most Europeans. They came back and stayed with me for another two months before returning home. Signed the van over to me to sell for them.
You have a long way to go Flex, I did this back in 1979.

Very thoughtful of you Purdman, but my situation won't allow me to do what you did. I'm also afraid that he may be dangerous, and don't really want to mess with him.

God bless you for your good deeds.

We have a guy in my area that stinks too. He is not homeless, just really smelly. He got the nickname 'fish house". It might only be funny if you have ever been in one.

Maybe with a friendly question along the lines of, "Hey, dude, you ever try these? They're good!"

WOW Man, I'm impressed!!! Nice car, what time do you get out of karate class? Reminds me of the Porsche and the porcupine line.:D
Bottom line is " The ***** is on the outside with a porcupine".
Haave a great day NDBF ! ;)

I think the mgr of the place should talk to the guy! There is a guy who plays in our local Sunday Night tourney who used to come in stinking something serious! He smelled so bad that if you were near him for very long you would pick up the stink yourself. Of course everyone talked about it behind his back.... Well one night the night bartender/mgr there talked to him about it and now he doesn't show up stinky anymore. Not sure if this will work with the homeless bum guy or not though since he may not have access to showers,soap etc. on a regular basis:eek:
 
People I Know

I have a cousin that worked in a crab house for 20 years. Steaming and sticking them by the millions. He smells like a steamed crab to this. You ever meet a dairy farmer? Let's just say the smell does not go away.
I don't know what this guy does for a living but somebody honestly needs to have a talk with him. Not something like "Hey MF you smell like $hit so either buy a bar of soap or stay the hell out of here"! You just might end up smelling a lot like him. :D Try being a concerned friend and see what happens. Here is a good poll for ya; SHOULD HOMELESS PEOPLE BE ALLOWED TO PLAY ON LEAGUES? :rolleyes:

If you're afraid that he'll wail your ass if you confront him about it just stop going there

I had a similar situation one time a guy that played where I USED to play a lot, he smelled like he had recently bathed in cat poop so I just quit going there

Huh?

No, the old guy at the VFW with the long hair that for some reason always wears shorts even in winter and he challenges the main table sometimes. Dude smells like shit
 
Take a crap in your pants before you play him....or just stand next to him....or rub some Deer Urine....or catfish stink bait...or(insert gagable stinking object here) on your shoes and return the favor to him.....

Seriously, as an owner I have had no problem a couple of times telling someone to go home and take a shower..
