Had the family from hell set up on the lane next to me

It was a true test of concentration tonight. About halfway through the second game a family with four kids moved into the lane next to ours. Not a single one of the 6 had any kind of coutesy. The teen girl after her shots would shimmy backwards sideways into our lane, I think at another point one of the other kids walked squarely in front of me across the lane as I was about to shoot. Parents didn't do anything. They were just about as bad as the kids.

i experienced that as well.. was already taking the 1st step and the girl runs in.. had to stop and felt frustrated and just waited for them to finish their throw before i go on it again..

It's not just kids. It's teenagers, twenty somethings, and even adults. It's anyone who bowls for entertainment as opposed to recreation. It has gotten my blood boiling many times.

Every time I shoot practice I always ask if I can be off somewhere by myself. I understand they don't like to string bowlers all over the place (that's bad if you're working the machines in the back), but 9 times out of 10 they'll "buffer" an empty lane between me and the recreational folks. I always thank them and tell them I really appreciate it.

When ever I have a Family from Hell pull in next to me, I always pull out from my bowling bag the Crucifix, and holy water!! Just the threat of dousing them with Holy Water, is enough to make 99.9 percent of the demons to move! Just look at them and say this: "Be Gone demons from Hell!!" Make sure to have a spray bottle of Holy Water, and have it poined at them while you are saying the Words!!! It will work!! I guaranty it!!! (
