That also could be what they are trying to do, make him quit. If that’s the case then I’d definitely not do anything they ask and make it my goal to annoy the crap out of them. I’d also have fun doing just that.
See, I didn’t realize that Aslan was such a nice guy so my tactics probably aren’t his style. I’m a nice guy too but I’ve dealt with more asshats in my lifetime than many. Certainly more that him. Being a telephone repair man for as many years as I was, I literally met multiple every single day. Now working at bowling center I meet the same asshats but add alcohol.
That experience has given me very thick skin. I can take everything that they can dish out and more. Only now I can give it back two fold. I have a bigger arsenal of sarcasm, insults and lack of fear than they have bowling balls. I don’t take crap for very long. Those guys wouldn’t stand a chance.
I’m not saying it would come to blows, hopefully not as I’m not a fighting expert. If it did, THAT I’d likely lose plus it’s a felony. LOL However there are plenty of things I could say or do that would have them chewing their mustache probably screwing up their game at the very least. Then when it did I’d be like “Hey, maybe you should try a different surface on your ball?” That’s just me though.
Obviously Aslan I don’t recommend to deal with them as I would. I wouldn’t want anything bad to happen to you because of me. It’s easy giving advice without actually being there. However using a few choice words and standing up telling them to worry about their own game and that their advice is NOT welcome would be something to consider. Say it in your own probably kind way but just get that point across. Maybe just maybe they will respect you enough after to listen. If not then consider leaving the league or switching teams.
You may ramble a lot, so do I. I don’t know you personally but one thing I do know from that rambling is you want to be a better bowler. The longer this stuff goes on, the longer that’s going to take. One way or another you do need to either step up and do something about it or walk away from them so you can accomplish your goal. Fight or flight my friend, it has been going on since cavemen have walked the planet. The caveman that decided to try to reason with the T-Rex got eaten. Whatever you decide I hope for the best.
