Bowling Etiquette

So when I go bowling (especially during a weekend or holiday) I often find myself bowling with other people on nearby lanes. This is not a problem so long as the other people don't do stupid things. During my league, every lane is filled up, but usually everyone knows how to behave, so there aren't any problems.

Since my friend and I are often ending up being next to people who have no courtesy and don't realize they need to wait for the people next to them before they bowl, we've decided to try to do something about it. For a goof, I made a flier that I'm going to distribute to the people next to us when they don't know what they are doing.

At first, while in the bowling alley, my friend and I were joking around about all the mean things we could say in the flier, but in actuality I wanted it to be nice, and have the greatest chance of actually improving the etiquette of the nearby bowlers. It's pretty funny that we are going to try doing it though. Have a look.

I thought most of that was common sense. I mean, if people are throwing 3 balls one right after the other while the pins are still setting, you can just assume theyre dicking around.

Yeah usually, but sometimes that is just them rushing too much and the ball almost hits the sweeper.

You use "safe and enjoyable" twice. Also, I would say arial is a more friendly font.
Do you really want chat rooms?

lol micrionesia. I don't I think I just get over most of those things easily. I mean the only big problem to me is the fact that most people don't know to wait until the person next to them has already bowled. But if that happens I just step off the lane and wait for them to bowl.

I did that intentionally... it isn't a big deal.

That's fine most of the time, but sometimes they are horsing around the whole time, or a father/mother and a little kid spend about 45 seconds per turn, with almost no break in between... yeah.... it sucks.

I absolutely HATE it when I am beginning to throw and someone runs past me and throws their ball. I need complete concentration when I bowl. -_-;

Ditto. Especially if there is an actual threat of collision... which there often is.
