Do you have any League Pet Peeves?

[Seamistlark]

Mine would be bowlers that put 2-3 balls up on the rack during league. On a 5 man team that about fills the rack to start with.

I agree with the MIA bowler. And as Illinois is no smoking in the building it happens all too frequently. Another is in the winter the people who do not remove their snow covered shoes before coming into the lane area. Last but not least is the screaming obscenities at the pins. Especially in mixed leagues where there are kids around. Oh yea i forgot beating up equipment ( ball returns, scoring monitors,chairs,etc.) because you made a bad shot

Now this I agree with all the way

All of the above...plus the music our house plays. Whatever the current pop pap is, it's awful. I'm sure my Dad said the same thing in 1974 when I was a youth bowler, but there you go. Some of it is downright filthy and not age appropriate for an adult/youth league...and if I hear Britney's digitized voice whine, "You're a womanizer, womanizer, womanizer..." ad nauseum one more time I believe I will boot.

The house I bowled at last year kept playing "The Chipmunks" Christmas album over and over again....every week....all winter long...

During league play it's bowlers that are slow getting to the approach when it's their turn to bowl. I bowl at 9pm and I get up at 4:30am

During practice, it used to be bowling next to kids, but I have learned to use the distraction to work on my concentration.

Agreed 100%

A few
1. Waiting on bowlers who have to go out and have a smoke break
2.Bowlers who take forever on the approach before delivweing the ball
3. bowlers who stand aroung in line for practice yacking away instead of throwing the ball

Another pet peeve is calling me a sandbagger unless I know you well(in which case I know it's a joke). Sorry, I have no tolerence for being associated with that term. There was a guy that mentioned my team was sandbagging, and I said "I'm not able to, I'm coming in with a 204 average." He responded "You have 130 in the 8th" and I said "What, I'm not allowed to just bowl bad? There's a difference." He shut up.

I cannot stand it when your in a league. Especially an adult league and people don't know or respect lane courtesy. Seriously?! Come on it is simple. If someone is up there bowling. Don't get on the approach. It is that simple. It really gets me everytime.
