Do you have any League Pet Peeves?

[The KingPin]

Ok some bowlers do not like bowling next to a wall, some really don't like bowling next to birthday parties? What about you? Is there any League Bowling Pet Peeves that you have?

[BowlnBrat]

YES! OMG YES! I can't STAND it when someone either on a leauge or not doesn't practice lane etiquette! IE you are up at the approach just about to take off and the bowler on either side of you just walks right on up and throws! Most leaguers know lane etiquette (though some newbies may not), and alot of free bowlers know it too...but I think it should be posted at EVERY lane the laws of lane etiquette!

I hate bowling on lanes 1 & 2. For whatever reason, the approach is uneven....maybe from the oil machine pivoting...either way, it throws me off.

The person who trys to tell you that everything you are doing is wrong even as you stand ready to bowl

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.

League members who are either MIA w/in the building, or are too busy talking to pay attention to be available to bowl their turn.

I don't like bowling on the end pairs. On 1 if there's a step off the approach that's dangerous if you have to get left enough. On the last pair if there's a wall and you need to move right enough it's a distraction. These or sort of like the ball return being in the way actually.

I also don't like people thinking they can help me with my approach during league. It's different if I ask for your opinion on something.

i would rather not bowl on the end lanes, but i was also told i couldn't complain about them anymore in one house because i shot 299 on 31&32 and 300 on 1&2. but that was only at one house. the house that i bowl at on thursday nights, oh my...lane one is ON TOP of the wall. everytime you shoot the 10 your kicking the wall. but since we don't have a full house, we voted not to use that pair(:

ane one is ON TOP of the wall. everytime you shoot the 10 your kicking the wall. but since we don't have a full house, we voted not to use that pair(:

ewww!
I shot at a 10 lane house like that back in high school. That center was a shoe box...plus on top of that...they had the old school, above-lane, ball returns. So no matter where you were in the house...either you'd be kicking the wall, or the track for the ball return. It was a nightmare!

[StormGirl712]

yeah, that house is only 24 lanes, but one of the nicest bowling alleys jacksonville has to offer. oh, and the only way to strike there is not to flush pocket. you mainly just hit light and it will strike all day. haha.
