My Worst Night Bowling

[Amyers]

I figured 60% chance he'd apologize the following week...he didn't. I figured 20% chance he shows up early and apologizes or 20% he doesn't show. Well, he showed, and didn't apologize...just went on like nothing had happened.

At first, I was going to give him the cold shoulder...make the point that I wasn't happy with his comments the week prior...but I decided to "rise above it" and be a good team captain. But, given there was no apology...thats his "free one". He pulls that again, cussing me out or getting in my face...teammate or no...coworker or no...he's going to see a side of me I think will not only surprise him, but will likely scare him to the point that he'll no longer bowl.

Fortunately, the slow player on the other team was absent, bowling blind, so things moved at a faster pace and our guy was happy.

Glad it has worked out on the short term at least. Good call on being the better man rarely does anything good come from situations like these.

Slippery slope you are climbing there captain. Be careful. You left the barn door open now - better mind the horses.

NO Apology!



I had 2 almost situations last season where I just about ! One on a guy close to my age... the other with a Ask-hole lying about his military service, in his 30s! I caught him in his lies, and he got hot with me! I said, lets go outside and not disturb the sanctity of the bowling alley. He backed down and ran off! We were face to face.

Two things about Iceman: One don't cheat in bowling, and never lie about your military service! I served: Combat Support 2/50 2n armored division! I was a 36K20, E-5! drafted out of college during the Vietnam war.

You did good and showed mature restraint.

As I get older I just don't have the extra energy to waste on stupid people. It's not that they don't bug me, or that I've gotten things figured out after all this time. It's just that I'm too tired to mess with them anymore.

I'm not usually one to sit by if something is really bothering me. However as I get older I just get more patient and have a longer fuse... I guess that's a good thing and less likely to get me into trouble.

Right on Iceman. Lying about serving in the military is not cool (this coming from someone who did not serve).

Thanks for your service to our country Michael.

You did the right thing, Aslan. Getting in a fight over something like that (somebody telling you to hurry the f- up) would be really dumb. You probably should have talked to him about it the following week to clear the air though. I'm sure if he's normally as calm and mild-mannered as you say, he would have been Ok discussing what happened since it's a week later and you were both calmed down. But you definitely don't want to risk being banned from the league or center or even getting jail time, just because someone told you to hurry up in an impolite tone.
