(Any opinions welcome) was I justified in losing my temper?
« on: April 20, 2015, 07:28:59 PM »
Last night during the roll off, I lost my temper. No, I didn't punch the monitor or kick a ball return because I was bowling badly. I yelled at my teammate's girlfriend. She was throwing ice cubes at us from a couple tables away. To clarify a little, she was throwing them under our table and where we walk. I picked up probably 12 ice cubes after I realized that she was the one doing it. And it wasn't that she doesn't know what water does to a slide shoe. She knew perfectly well. She is just a (insert choice profanity here.) Is it justified give your teammate's girlfriend a tongue lashing in front of him for something like that?

Oh I like this teammate a lot. It is his girlfriend no one likes lol. He said he is quitting this league next year anyway due to money issues. I would love for him to stay

Someone too inebriated to notice ice on the floor in the bowlers area or.....simply doesn't care, does sound like an awesome teammate......

He usually isn't drunk. Besides, I pick my teammates for the fun factor, and he is a lot of fun

an adult acting like a child...male or female, doing things that has the potential to hurt someone for the fun of it should be 86'd.

I would have flipped my lid. Keep your significant other in check and deal with their stuff.

Would have told my team mate to remove the stupid inconsiderate bitch himself and if he didn't I would take his score less 10 for the rest of the night and he could watch the action from the main aisle.  Ridiculous.   
If you're so gutless as to hide behind the ignore button while taking shots at people....why are you even here?

That's dangerous for bowlers.  Im 33 and have no desire to suffer serious injury because of some dumb chick. Im fortunate to bowl at a center where she would have been kicked out immediately.
…… you can't  add a physics term to a bowling term and expect it to mean something.

She should have been kicked out. The manager decided I handled it sufficiently though. And apparently I got my point across because she was silent the rest of the night, and left as soon as we were done bowling.

[Typical Ballreviews Troll Response] You were not justified in losing your temper. I can't believe that you would lose your temper over such a trivial thing. Stay down in the settee area and leave the spectators alone. Maybe you should buy some shoe covers or learn to walk on the sides of your feet. Don't you know that someone throwing ice cubes on the floor is considered "good luck" in other cultures. [/Typical Ballreviews Troll Response]

Okay seriously, as others stated, this is a very serious. If I was there, I would be yelling at her right along with you, especially, that she knows that it could hurt someone.

lmfao trash heap! That actually did make me laugh! Really though, I'm glad nobody thinks I overreacted. On a side note, what do you guys do if you step in water? I rub the bottom of my slide sole with my rosin bag and that seems to pull the moisture out of the sole as well as anything I have found

Rosin Bag?? Seems like that would make the problem worse.

I use SST 6's, so I just change to a different sole. Water is a tough one, but not as bad as Orange Soda(long story) lol

I think that is what it is. It is a puff ball that I use to dry my hand off. Everyone says it should make my hand tackier, but getting rid of the moisture makes my hand not stick lol. And I pat down my sole with my hand to get rid of the powder before I bowl to keep myself from sliding over the foul line and so I don't get it on the approach.

Yes actual Rosin Bags and Dry Bags are two totally different things and these two bags are not interchangeable!

1-Is the Dry/puffball Type bag, those are the big ones you see bowler's using most of the time to dry a sweaty hand or patting on the finger holes. These are a cloth bag and mostly contain a clay like adsorbent silica material (like cat litter) that makes a fine dust that drys your hand out.

2-Is the Grip type which is more of a true "rosin bag", they are meant to give you more grip. They have a white sticky powder substance in them ( I believe a plant extract or similar type material) that gives you a surer grip on the ball.


If you rubbed the grip type on your shoe you'd stick big time.

These days, like most people, I would just change soles.

Previously, I first blot all that I can of the water with paper towels or a cloth. Then I'd use baby powder, which is normally talcum powder, whose main purpose is to absorb water. You have to be careful but this is an emergency. I slide a lot, so I need a sole as perfect as it can be.
