silliest reaction to frustration

[harley]

hey,i get pretty upset wen i miss something on the alley thats an easy shot or important and my rection are somewhat weird( :lol: )but anywayz id like to know some reactions to missing an important shot.One of mine is headbutting a wall cause of missing a 10 pin :x

 

[Rowey the li'l lefty]

I've gotta truckload of thigns that i have done such as:-
*Sittting down on the approach staring at the pins (usually when i leave a split).
*Pointing at a pin after hitting it, as if to say that you better not mess with me again.
*Laughing at split (especially the strange one's).
That's not at all strange this to do...honest :wink:

point at the pin.

Yesterday would have been a prime example of what I do in these situations - 170 average for 10 games on flooded lanes in a local tournament. No I didn't make the cut.

I think I did all of the above mentioned, and more. Including staring at the pindeck with hands on hips - teapot style - after getting a perfect strike. Then wave hands in the air and shrug shoulders as if to say 'I don't know', as I walk back to the seats.

I also raised my arms in the air a couple of times - Y style as if I had just won something - after leaving humungous splits.

I used to kick ball returns...did it a few weeks ago...nearly put my foot through it, but I really have calmed down a lot.
I generally sit there in silence and dont talk to anyone...apparently people are scared 2 talk to me :twisted:
I get very very very angry when I miss important leaves...

One time in Inter District a bowler kicked a ball return after leaving a 6-7 split so hard that the casing came off!

no one knew where to look, he was suspended for 2 weeks for that...

I remember Steve Lovell nearly knocking the toilet door off its hinges at a Hobart Cup one year. :lol:

 

[Murderdoll]

i have choice words for single pins, indicating they are prostitutes.

I also bowled so bad one night, I went home and punched a hole in my bedroom door.

 

[stormxxx]

If its a strike ball at i get 9...i usually lie down beforee the approach and stare at the pins standing up.......if i get a weird split..........for example the split where theres the 7 10 standing and 1 pin which has slid across to the middle back....and yeah if i bowl crap......i curse at my bowling ball

 

[MinusZero]

I really wish i could change my attitude more. I get frustrated and say bad things under my breath. I hate when i do that and i wonder what others think. I never say a word when i bowl well.

I found one thing that did work, if i missed one i should have got, i just say "whatever"...and the frustration melts away.

However, it doesnt work when i get 4 splits in 6 frames like yesterday

 

[phaggy]

if i leave something unexpected i will attempt to pull my pants down and give the pins a brown eye or sumthing like that, i never do it but it gets a few laughs from the people watching me.

Saw Googsie Gourlay flop out the "old fella" at the pins after chopping a spare in a Bowler Of The Year tournament at Moonah about 9-10 years ago :lol:
I was shooting a 10-pin about three pairs to the left and turned after sparing it and burst out laughing when I saw him do it...lol

Saw the same guy lob his bowling shoe at a single pin in league one night, after leaving his umpteenth 10-pin that night :lol:

 

[SCOOTER_26]

Sometimes I get really frustrated when i leave numerous splits one of my latest ones was breaking the league pencils i left a pencil that was in my bag there lol so there wa sa pencil for the next league

Ive seen a friend of mine get really annoyed and he tryed to squeak his shoe while walking back from a shot, but not being a very smart boy kicked is foot into the ground and triped landing on the approach.

i was bowling in league a couple of years ago and i was on lanes 1 and 2 and i was bowling agianst an adult, he wasn't bowling good at all and when after he left the 7, 10 he ran dow the side of the lanes and knocked the pins down and bashed the machine, he was banged for thre month because of that. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yeah, Googsie is my cousin and knowing him he would do all that sort of stuff. There are many great and memorable stories about The Googs but most aren't suitable for a public forum. Moonah bowlers know what I'm talking about :twisted:

A few weeks at dandenong bowl, (which the approaches near the gutter are all ****) i drifted over to play a deep inside line and the heel of my shoe came off due to the amount of crap on the approach, needless to say i fell on my ***.

2 frames later it happens AGAIN. I picked myself and my heel up off the approach, and proceded to throw the heel as far as i could, just missing about 3 people. Dangerous i know but psh what are ya gunna do.

The frustration must have dissapeared after that, as for the next few shots I. took a 0 step approach and almost bagged out.
