    I forgot to mention my biggest pet peeve: Resetting the rack during the 10 minutes of warm up time.

    Last week we were that last pair left as the other team was slow to bowl also. Hate being the last ones left
    I agree and hate being the last team left. Unfortunately we are last every week as 2 out of the 4 guys on my team are extremely slow!

    why do people do that? when I know an individual would do this and he is behind me during warm ups, I let him go to give him a full rack.

    btw, thanks for saying "warm up".... it's not practice in my opinion.

    I guess I'm easier going than you guys about the time thing. I honestly don't care unless it gets to the point that I have to go find you every other turn. Now the powder and easy slide crap I can't stand either.

    If I'm behind someone gong to reset the rack I'll step up and ask them to shoot it as is but I don't always catch them in time. It's a huge waste of time.

    One guy in one of my leagues will grab a house ball and bounce it on the ground when he's upset. That can be annoying. I've also seen one guy punch the back of the screens in the seating area and broke a cover.

    Also don't like it when people are sitting there having social hour when their name has been flashing on the screen, especially when person A bowls before person B and is yapping to person B. Then person A goes to bowl, finishes, comes back and continues to yapping with person B. Hello person B? Yerrr up!

    Lastly, I haven't worked hard to be a 200+ bowler to have people say "nice game" after I bowl a 170.

    I guess mine would be people who throw their shot then walk in to the next lane while watching it roll. I do this sometimes if the next lane is empty, but some people seem to do it no mater what's going on. Probably an accident waiting to happen.

    Pan it might be annoying but it is legal. Zack people who do that are trying to be good sports. Maybe you should to. You don't shake the other teams hand at the end of the night? Say nice bowling or nice bowling with you? In many cases you don't mean it but it is called being civil.

    Here comes another bowl1820 rule book reference lol. I haven't ever seen a rule that prevents it. I believe half the bowlers on my Wednesday night league finish in the other lane and yes I do find it somewhat annoying though.
