Whne u get bothered playing have you hit anyone ?

I've never hit anyone while playing, but I did throw a guy over the rail onto a foosball table. He cracked his head open pretty good on the floor, and the corner of the foosball table cut him in the stomach pretty bad. Many of the things he was saying and doing were way out of line, and he was warned multiple times. After it happened, everyone commented that they couldn't believe I hadn't done it sooner. Weeks later he came in and apologized to me, and blamed his actions on his drug use. He is now clean and sober.

I must admit to assaulting myself for playing like a dog on numerous occasions. Sad but true!

As a child Pinocchio was made to wear a helmet while practicing pool...kept him for doing serious damage when he missed. :eek: :D :D
 
I ran a pretty rough poolroom for 7 years so I can go on with war stories for days. The place averaged a couple of fights a week and about once a month someone would pull a knife or a gun.
Problem was after barring someone for fighting, they would go whine and cry to the owner and he would let them back in. I always figured he did this because he hated to see a dime walk out the door and he was never in the line of fire when the crap started.
Here's one mild story-----My girlfriend is tending bar and I happen to be looking in her direction. A guy is sitting at the bar and he motions her over. He leans forward over the bar like he is going to whisper something to her so she leans forward and he pinches her boob. I take off around the bar and before I can get there, she leans forward and motions him to do the same. "What the hell is she doing?", flashed through my mind. As soon as he leans, she nails him with a roundhouse right in the mouth. His head snapped back and over he went out of a high barstool flat on his back. OUT COLD!!!
The tough part for me was after she hit him, she came flying out from behind the bar, spitting venom and wanting to REALLY work him over. I had to put her in a bearhug and carry her off!
We picked him up, carried him out back and threw him in the dumpster. Went out and looked about an hour later, he was gone.
5' 1" tall, 120 lbs., toughest gal I ever met. From then on, I always made it a point to stay on her good side!

My girlfriend is half native american (Mescalero Apache).
She and I went to see "Dances with Wolves" when it first came out. You know the scene where the Sioux first come to visit Coustner at the fort and he gets down and paws the ground with his jacket stuffed up under his shirt.

Well, being the suave, debonair kind of guy I am with my newly found mastery of the Sioux language, as we're walking from the theater across the parking lot, I looked at her, without really thinking about it and said, "What d'ya think of the movie, Tu-tonk-a Tush?" Which she immediately translated as "Buffalo Butt".

The only thing that saved me was my legs were longer than hers. I did get some funny looks on my third lap around the car.

So much for furthering my education into other languages.

Sorry about hijacking the thread. Now back to the fights!

Nope... I grew up quite a long time ago, actually.

While kids in school sometimes have guns, adults have a lot more guns. Fighting as an adult is stupid. They can, and some will, shoot you and kill you. I think I am a little above settling things with my fists. I don't frequent establishments where business owners do not control unruly customers.

Im Like Russ, Ive grown up and havent started any friction in years. I'll still finish some if need be though...... :eek: .
One of the dumbest things I ever did, caused me to get 86'd from a place that I had spent a few thousand dollars in. A railbird was running his mouth one night and I wasnt in a good mood to start with, so I walked over to scare him and swung at the wall beside his head. Well, when my fist went through 2 pieces of sheetrock and into the bar...... lets just say the owner was not real happy with me. :(

hitting is never the answer but if you must hit someone you better know what you are doing. I had a buddy of mine get into a bar fight over someone bumping into his girl friend. Long story short he was in boxing and dropped the guy with a few short jabs. He fell to the ground only to find that he had a previous accedent and his brain was not attached to the skull and the fall to the ground killed him. he is in jail for 20 years because of a dumb ass bar fight. Just goes to show just because you know how to fight you dont know anything about the person you are fighting...

9ball in MN :what a great post.this is what started by post many months ago.there was a discussion about fights.your story is exactly what i wanted some to hear.God Bless and Merry Christmas:)
 
Actually just this past weekend I almost had a situation come to blows. Me and my little bro were just shooting around on a table when some guys that i graduated with came over and started heckling us (there was bad blood between us in school and I guess some guys never grow up) Anyways, I'm never one to let things get to me, and my brother always takes his cue (no pun intended) from me, so they accomplished nothing with that. At this point they just milled around at the direct edge of our table, not watching our game, just talking amongst themselves. Well when I needed to make a shot I just pushed my way through and let them know they needed to get out of the way, my brother however isnt one to speak up. So, when he needed to make a shot from over on that side of the table they wouldn't budge, and now it was starting to get to me. I'll admit I lost my cool a bit and some choice words were exchanged, but they moved for him, and I realized what the outcome of the situation was gonna be. Because I am a regular at the pool hall, I knew the bouncer, so I just went over there and asked him to keep an eye on the situation. As soon as they saw me go and talk to him, and him turn around and watch them, they split. I have no intention of going to jail, let alone getting kicked out of my favorite pool hall;)

We have all read the past week here about the concerns of being bothered at the table..........while shooting a person bumps into you ect..........BUT my question is have you ever hit anyone over their stupid behavior ???? :eek:

I am a lover not a fighter :)
 
Great to see OHB's post. Wow, great thread ya'll.

While I haven't hit anyone, when someone did three times in a row barely brush me with his cue while I was shooting. I did the same back to him during his 9 ball shot ;)
 
Manslaughter seriously detracts from your resume & pool tables, even in minimum security prisons, are poorly maintained. Worst of all, skull fragments in pool butts void the warranty.
