Both times we met up, we were distracted by another player. He came in all cocky, and he had his own personal stereo. He was listening to music, but not via headphones. Instead, it was clipped on his shirt or something and everyone could hear it.
It was very annoying. If he turned toward us to shoot, the music was louder. As he turned away to shoot, we could still hear his song of choice, just muffled a little bit. He mostly listened to 80s music, but not hip hop like I'd of preferred, lol.
It may seem like this shouldn't be a bother, but it really was annoying for some reason. Sure, people play music on the jukebox all the time I may not recognize or like, but for some reason that never bothers me. This guy - bothersome with his personal stereo system we could all hear. If he was just walking by it prolly wouldn't have been an issue, but it was lingering around us for over 2 hours. Even when the guy found an opponent (not sure how), he didn't turn it down or turn it off, just kept on his little own world.
I didn't say anything to Tina the first Saturday about my thoughts about him, but when he walked in again the second Saturday, I noticed we both kinda grimaced at the same time lol, and then we talked about how he was a distraction.
Here's the thing about this guy and his personal karaoke system: I'm glad he showed up! The whole reason to practice in a pool room is to experience the same non-controlled atmosphere we might encounter at league or in a tournament. It was almost the perfect set up! Except, I would have chosen a different annoyance, lol.
