I understand. I think the comment was on point, while the use of the word idiot may have been a little strong. I think "clueless" might have been more accurate. The point is that quite often people will talk about a subject of which they have limited knowledge, yet do so in a manner which is meant to give the impression that they are experts on the subject. Most serious players know that an APA 6 or 7 is by no means a pro. Some novices really don't have a clue.

I'm trying to remember a few stupid pool comments I've overheard in the past.
I always thought it was funny when the ball scratches and the player waiting for his turn stands up and says, "Man overboard." :thumbup:
Then there's the comment when a player at the table is on a tear, breaking perfectly, running out, and gaining a lead on his opponent. As he's getting ready to make the winning shot for the whole match, he turns to his opponent and says, "Don't worry. It will only hurt for a little bit." :grin-square:
Those are the only ones I can come up with this early in the a.m. I'm sure anybody who's been beat would not enjoy hearing those comments.

I hate it and always bite on it, but I get lots of calls about upcoming tournaments and ALWAYS get this on: "I'm calling about the 9 ball tournament this weekend. Is it going to be 8 ball or 9 ball?'
I have gotten at least one call like this each month for almost 6 years now.
I can't believe I forgot to mention this one:
The cue ball flies off the table (or any ball), and some jackass yells Fore! loud enough so the room can hear him, and he thinks he is funny every, single, time!

Santos of all people just busted out with "man, I played bad" after beating me 125-85 in straight pool this past weekend. Um, excuse me? I thought you played pretty damn good even though I didn't play the best I at least held my own.
Thanks for the kick in the nuts you little so-and-so, I just walked away shaking my head without saying another word.

Actually, I got confused becuase I teach Social Studies Education, and Geography is one of my subjects. So, we will leave it at that. What are you in the LEAGUE?
"what i hear " and <what i want to say when i hear it>
"well at least I got shape"
<your position would have been different had you made the ball>
"I play better when im drunk"
<no you suck drunk and sober>
"oh he's not that good" (last heard at the fl tour when a pool idiot was referring to hennesee)
<yeah well he will give you the last 4 buddy and when your done you better have the rape crisis center on speed dial>
"I had a table at my house growing up"
<i bet you got alot of mad skillz from that>
"I worked my way through college playing pool"
<I didnt know you could live for four years on $20, congrats>

Understandable...I will retract Idiot and replace it with Ignorant!!! :thumbup:
Here's one...
One of my buddies has a couple that I like...
Right after you get out of line on a shot he will say, "That's pefect!", (slight pause) "For me."
Another one is...when you miss and he says, "That's exactly how I would have done it....only different."
As he is running out..."Isn't this fun.....for me!"
He has a million of them that is for sure.

I've heard variations of this one since I started playing. Every non-playing sob has some relative or friend or neighbor who "used to make $500 a night, every night, playing pool".
Just remembered the guy I went to school with who saw his buddy make the 8 on the break seven times in a row.
Variation on the "take it easy on me".DelaWho??? said:
(PITA = Pain In The Ass)
PITA: Take it easy on me!
Me: Why should I? Should I let you win then?
PITA: Look, I know you're gonna win, or are supposed to win. Just don't beat me TOO badly!
Me: In that case, let's save some time and you can forfeit right now.
PITA: Aw, c'mon! Why you gotta be like that?
Or the losers/sharkers who walk around the tournament room professing they shouldn't even bother playing you because you have a lock on their upcoming match, then they continue right up to when your match starts.
And to put icing on the cake, whenever they miss during a rack, they exclaim,"Well, there he goes, it's over!" Even more annoying when they sometimes leave you safe (luckily, I might add).
Then if they beat you (in my case it would be because they disgusted me so much they took me out of my game) they start prattling about how you let them win, then try to converse with you long after the match is over to ask you why you "let up" on them...or thanks for taking it easy on them.
I keep having visions of shoving the splintered end of a broken shaft into their eye...but my features are far too delicate for prison!
Departed guy I knew use to say after making a shot, "see there is nothing to this game". He was buried with his Cue as he love the game.
