pet peeves

[Chia]

don't you just hate it when younger players miss treat the shuttles, such as hitting it hard against the wall or folding it back and forth cauing it to lose speed.

i hate ppl who practice swinging or driving movements near the rest area.. i once walked behind some guy who was swinging the racquet and caught the string on my finger.. it stung like a *****

[Sheldon]

I hate the people who smash it really hard between you and your partner during a warmup, as well as hitting the shuttle out about 2 metres on purpose as well.................:(

Sometime, it annoys me so much when people change shuttles not because the shuttles are broken but because they have lost a number of points and they blame the shuttles. Last week had a game where we used 6-7 shuttles, it slowed down the game and maybe that's why the guy did it, so he can catch his breathe.

Well, my friends and I us ethe shutlle until it's in a really really bad condition, or get's trap in the lights, lol. But 2 meters out of court?!:eek: :eek: :eek:

[Sheldon]

:)

but still very annoying all the same

[Joanne]

lol, still as bad.

[Sheldon]

yep-that's why i make no attempt whatsoever to reach them............

When inexperienced players, whether out of a lack of knowledge or just being plain stupid, always seem to play behind the courts. I was facing this one guy and he kept on claiming that the people were interfering with his swing. He did nothing to get the people out, but he would always comlpain to me. Finally i told the guys to get off the freaken court, they listened for about two seconds before moving to play behind someone elses court. Anyways, my school never inforces the rules, but as long as they dont kill me, i'm okay. Another time, this one skinny guy, acting all bigshot and all decides to show off his power to the ladies. I was walking by and he hit me smack dad in the face. I swear I would of killed that kid if there weren't any teachers around-not that his smash hurt or anything. But I can't wait til i kick his ass on the court.

lol-show offs.................we know what they need..........a good spanking in front of the girls.........not literally of course:)

This might sound cold-blooded, but I hate when I get myself into a doubles match that is really one-sided, but the better team (mine or theirs) makes an obvious attempt to prolong the match, for some reason (to be nice? to get more court time?). If my team is that much better, I just want to kill them and get it over with, and if my team sucks that bad, ditto.

[TOmike]

Lol shoulder pain..
i hate dumb kids that don't know how to play.
i hate kids that think badminton is a gay sport.
i dislike people who walk on the courts.
i dislike people who pick up birdies from other courts while other people are playing.

[Joanne]

Why kids?! Adults might do that too! lol. :D :D

[Sheldon]

Yep-one sided matches should always finish as fast as possible, both sides probably aren't enjoying it.

being around your age i totally agree

[badrad]

I dislike players who constantly ask me for doubles games, and organizes the teams but always pairs me up with the weakest player, then they proceeds to beat the stink out of my partner allowing me to play maybe 1 shot in every 15 or twenty. Why bother asking me to play then? Usually come off the court bone dry, usually the partner is dripping.

those one who join in your game and contribute either used shuttles or the lowest possible grade shuttles. Usually these players have poor stroking techniques as well and tend to be shuttle killers, using up quickly the pool of shuttles.
