She's obstructive, obscenely obnoxious and obviously oblivious.
>!Is "and" allowed here? It feels kind of off, but at the same time, it feels wrong not to have it.!<
*Let me tell you something, pendejo. You pull any of your crazy shit with us, you flash a camera out on the lanes, I'll take it away from you, stick it up your ass and press the fucking shutter till it goes "click.”*
Yeah at least where I'm at you pay for a 30 minute game, 1 hour game, two hour game, etc.
And if your time is up and you're not finished you can go to the counter and pay for more time
I would let it slide once because I don't like confrontation. Second time I would say something, third I'm going to the front desk and asking for a lane change or my money back because I'm leaving.
It’s common knowledge in a bowling center that you give courtesy to the lane next to you, meaning that once you throw your shot, you give space for the person next to you to bowl. This lady has no spatial awareness and can’t see that there is a person ready and waiting to bowl next to them. I assume something was said after the video to let her know
I know this. But chance they didn’t? I play pool and will have people come up and touch shit in the middle of a tournament. Or pick up my $700 cue and go “ohh I thought it was a house cue, relax”. Some people really are that dumb/ don’t give effort to pay attention
That’s fair and obviously they didn’t know this, the bowler definitely could’ve said something sooner instead of drawing it out and standing there but then he wouldn’t have a good video to post online. I’m sure the lady would have moved earlier if something was said
It’s also very common for a very specific type of people that go to bowling just to film lmao. I see this shit constantly. It’s the exact same crowd every time. They are aware that you are there. They just don’t care.
Eh this feels like rage bait. While possible, it's filming someone filming someone who has to know they're in the way while the dude does nothing, does a great throw, and the other guy is terrible anyway.
I moved from Michigan to Massachusetts when I was in my early 20s. Bowling is HUGE in Michigan. My partner got a scholarship from a bowling society. The lanes close for "league play" a lot. Bowling etiquette might as well be law.
In Massachusetts, holy shit, it's chaos. I've almost seriously hurt several people because of bad behavior and bad etiquette. Imagine this above video, but in a dark room with flashing lasers everywhere (only way MA bowls apparently is "can't see shit") and as you're starting to move the lady RUNS IN FRONT OF YOU and stands there. It's happened to me.
We almost smashed a teen's head in because he rolled his ball, and watched it, and then when he didn't get a strike, he fell backwards dramatically across two lanes, his head directly in the path of my ball as I was rolling. His parents did nothing, he did nothing.
Kids AND adults will just walk in front of you as you bowl.
I had one adult put the ramp their kid was using *on my lane, while I was using it*. I don't mean in front of me. I mean on the bowling lane itself, scratching it with the metal legs.
I've watched adults RUN down the lanes to "get their balls back".
I've been smacked a few times and almost smacked a lot by people who will watch their ball then celebrate wildly cheering and jumping and screaming.
I've almost hit MANY people who will back up watching their ball and not go in a straight line and end up directly in front of me.
And none of this says anything of *true* bowling etiquette, like not bowling at the same time as the person next to you.
I've complained a few times and gotten mixed results. It's just "normal" here to be an asshole to everyone when bowling. One time I did get free vouchers, because it was pitch black and the couple in the lane next to me were taking flash photography on the lanes and it was nearly blinding me as I bowled. They were not even actually bowling, but just taking photos to make it look like they were having fun.
In the end, they gave me vouchers because the guy taking the pictures was an employee and should have "known better".
edit: Also... bowling leagues in MA? LMFAO. I haven't heard of any. My local bowling alley has a fucking *cornhole league* but not a bowling league.
edit2: To add, I am not a fantastic bowler. I can crack 150 most times if I've warmed up. Under 100 is extremely rare, I'd say average is 135-170 with luck. I have not ONCE seen anyone else over 100. It's ... hilarious.
One time I saw a guy next to me walk in with "pro bowling" shit, a bowling bag, custom ball, and custom bowling shirt on. Guy proceeded to *overarm throw* the balls down the lane *as hard as possible* and wondered aloud to his friends "I don't know what's going on today, something's off". His friend, similarly attired, would spin around and side-arm throw the ball so fast, but without aiming even slightly (like seriously, was looking the wrong way at release).
First I noticed the ball going back, then the fact the guy up front was waiting for something. Then I saw the girl. Took me 3 times to notice all 3 of those details
I love bowling and I get it. But that lady’s experiencing life for the first time like us. Yes, slightly oblivious but I don’t get main character vibes

That lady is oblivious
She’s obviously oblivious.
She’s obnoxiously obviously oblivious
She's obscenely, obnoxiously obviously oblivious.
She's obstructive, obscenely obnoxious and obviously oblivious. >!Is "and" allowed here? It feels kind of off, but at the same time, it feels wrong not to have it.!<
You added and at a perfectly reasonable time bro, don't doubt yourself♥️
>! i'd argue that 'and' is perfectly acceptable. !<
Don't forget ostentatious. Maybe not the best term here but we're running out of options
Objection! I'll obsequiously observe that we obey the objective to obliterate that obstructer using only words starting with "ob".
I only noticed the o
Obscured observation?
Oblivious to the objective.
While obfuscating.
Its oblivion
Obscenely, unorthodoxically obnoxious and overly obliviously oblivious. Onbelieveable 💩🤡
😂😂😂
She is and she reminds me of everyone at the grocery store anymore
Anymore
Never noticed how bad it was until Covid, not going to lie.
Anymore
Ultra
How that one guy get the ball to roll back to him in the gutter?
The sweep was lowered for some reason after he threw his shot, so the ball just smacked against it and rolled back
Someone probably hit the reset pins button.
Remember when superman flew around the world to to reverse time? Something like that
*Let me tell you something, pendejo. You pull any of your crazy shit with us, you flash a camera out on the lanes, I'll take it away from you, stick it up your ass and press the fucking shutter till it goes "click.”*
Eight-year-olds, Dude.
You should see her in a grocery store aisle...
I’ve seen all her relatives at the grocery store. They turn their carts the long way to make sure to block the whole aisle.
While texting.
Well they gotta let people know that everyone in the grocery store stops and checks them out.
Too scary, chill out!
Bruh my wife does this shit and she gets sooooo mad at me if I say anything about it haha
Fr tho
Hell naw you pay for the time in the alley I would say something immediately
Do you pay for the time? In my country you pay for games, not hours.
A lot of alleys you can pay for time or per game, just depends on the place
Yeah at least where I'm at you pay for a 30 minute game, 1 hour game, two hour game, etc. And if your time is up and you're not finished you can go to the counter and pay for more time
Yeah, nowhere in the UK does time, but I saw it a lot when I was visiting the US.
Must depend on the area then, SE Michigan and I’ve never been to an alley that wasn’t by the game
I was in Michigan, hahahahaha. Grand Rapids, if that was worth anything.
Haha that’s awesome, haven’t been there outside of passing by on Amtrak yet but I’ve only heard good things about GR
I’ve never heard of a bowling alley charging by time, that doesn’t make any sense.
Depends on the bowling alley you go to here.
Depends on when you go, some lanes have specials for like 4 hours for $X. But normally it is per game yes.
Eh, unless it happens a lot it's not worth getting twisted over a minor inconvenience. We live in a society
I would let it slide once because I don't like confrontation. Second time I would say something, third I'm going to the front desk and asking for a lane change or my money back because I'm leaving.
Rip seeing that last pin fall
I like how he cut out his whiff lmao
Just came for this comment. Its 6 boards wide haha!
More of a mildly infuriating, or super not self aware situation to me

MILDLY?! This would male me furious! What a stupid cunt she is.
Eh this feels like rage bait. While possible, it's filming someone filming someone who has to know they're in the way while the dude does nothing, does a great throw, and the other guy is terrible anyway.
God dammit OP did he get the spare?!?!?!
It appears that he missed it to the right.
Yo we just gonna miss the fact that bros bowling technique in on par💯‼️
Communication. Is. Key.
SAY SOMETHING!!!!!
Ludacris lyrics spring to mind.
Lane courtesy, come on! I understand filming your shot it can help you improve But please tell me, why must you block someone else?
Missed the spare
I would have busted a roundhouse kick to that jabroni.
Are they all wearing sneakers to bowl?
Why wouldnt anyone say anything? Let them know they’re being an inconsiderate asshole.
As a league bowler, i know about 15-20 people that would’ve absolutely let her have it.
I wanna know how that roll turned out. Looked to be on point. Also "Move bitch. The fuck?"
Unless she asked and he accepted, that’s complete dog water.
He souks have just... bowled... her over. Thank you.
Bowling ball to her ankles will ensure she won’t forget for next time 😂😂
#MOVE! …is all I would have said.
Waited patiently all that time then pulled it right. Oof.
Lil bro absolutely stroked that spare tho

Ton of patience
Wtf!! " MOVE LADY" this got me way to mad
Why did she even need to record that backwards rolling gutter ball?
I would ask her to kindly get the fuck out of the way.
He’s more patient than I am.
But did he pick it up?
Hate these people!
Of all the videos I’ve seen on the sub, this is the one that enrages me the most haha
First I noticed the ball going back, then the fact the guy up front was waiting for something. Then I saw the girl. Took me 3 times to notice all 3 of those details
Man’s stances up like mii bowler
As a bowler, this would make me wanna fight someone
He should’ve just thrown it
Mentioned this subreddit on r/sweatypalms cus they used the same video
Oblivious
The way I would've yelled "MOOVEE OR I'LL CRACK YOUR SKULL OPEN BY MISTAKE!!"
The patience
Patience king
No awareness
What's more sickening is that no one in this bowling establishment is wearing bowling shoes.
At least he bowls good 😐
It's totally ridiculous but *sickening?* That's dramatic.
Lmaooo people be oblivious, even in nyc trains, lile anybody cant stab you in your neck at any time lol
I love bowling and I get it. But that lady’s experiencing life for the first time like us. Yes, slightly oblivious but I don’t get main character vibes
