At the clubs that i play at, i don't see this happen but over the past couple of weeks i have played with 2 players that have a really annoying habit. When the shuttle has landed on their side of the net and they are clearly a lot closer to it, rather than making sure that it gets back somewhere close to me, they either just sweep it under the net making me have to walk a few steps and fetch it or they try some clever stuff like flicking it up and it lands nowhere near me.
Rather than apologising for doing so or even trying to make sure it doesn't happen again, they do it repeatedly and each time they just look away after their 'attempt' to give the shuttle back. This is SO RUDE!! Whenever i pass the shuttle back, i make sure that it's right at or within easy catching distance of the person.
Normally i am quite a relaxed person but when this happens time after time, i do get rather annoyed. I did mention it tactfully during a game of doubles to one of these offenders the other day, who happens to be a friend, the other day. Luckily he is good humoured and won't get annoyed if i tell him off in a joking way in the future.
Why can't some people see that passing the shuttle properly in the first place is good etiquette? If someone next to you at the table asks for the salt would they throw it to the other end of the table and then look down and carry on happily munching into their dinner?
Sorry for the rant!!! :crying:
