Argh! A few friends and I decided to go bowling. Little did we know we would end up bowling next to quite possibly the most annoying family I have ever seen.
There were a lot of them, two sets of grandparents, four adults, two teenagers and a toddler, all sharing the same lane. The grandparents weren't playing, just watching the toddler as it tried to play.
The youngest of the two teenagers was the problem. She looked about 14 and she was taking photographs of the whole occasion, taking a shot as each family member made their shot. The problem was that she discovered the best angle to take the photographs was directly IN FRONT of our lane.
The first couple of times we didn't mind, especially when she was taking photographs of the toddler. I thought there was no harm in letting them document the kids first time bowling. Boy that proved to be a mistake! It got to the point where she was standing in front of our lane EVERY time we tried to take a shot. We said excuse me a few times, but she remained completely oblivious, as did her family. They were WATCHING her stand in front of our lane, as a friend of mine hissed "EXCUSE ME!" at her several times. She still remained oblivious.
And then, finally, the enevitable happened. I was taking my shot, and as I did my run up, she ran directly in front of me!! I let out a huge "WOOOAH FUCK!" and just managed to stop myself. The girl was still fucking oblivious! She took the photograph, and while still standing in front of our lane, she started looking through all the other photos she had taken. I lost it and walked up to the parents.
"Excuse me, I know you're trying to have a good time, but if she's not careful *I point to the girl* she's going to end up with a bowling ball in the teeth! I'm not threatening you, this is concern, because someone is going to bowl right at her."
The mother spoke to the girl.
"Come here sweet heart! This man wants you out of the way!"
She tried to run in front of our lane a couple of times more, but we gave up caring and just bowled right at her.
