Mega Thread Things that s**t me the fourteenth part

[Hawk Dork]

I hear it's better to activate the weevils by soaking them in water overnight if possible.

Just had a slice from the bread I made with them (overnight ferment so pre soaked) and can confirm this is true

Tennis crowds will always s**t me. You get the immediate 5-10 seconds after a point to yell, clap, holler or make your stupid noises. When the server is settling into his serve routine, shut the fu** up. We were supposed to learn when to shut our pie holes during assembly in primary school at 7-8yo.

It's the players that s**t me. WTF can't professionals play in a noisy environment without bitching about it?

One arguement is that theyve been brought up to play in quiet environments. I say not necessarly true....playing juniors there's noise around, although not the yelling you'd see at a football game of course.

Golf is the same, as a golfer i like the tranquility. But if there's some general chatter, no dramas.

I haz a theory. The smaller the ball, the number of players correlates to the crowd noise.

Snooker/pool/golf/tennis - small balls and individual sports as a rule.

It's the same as golf. You can cheer and woo or whatever then the ball is in the air or rolling towards the hole, but you STFU when the player is taking their swing. Both are games of concentration and key moments.

The expectation that fans STFU at certain points isn't new and I don't know why it upsets people. Trained ac-tors can deal with noise, but you don't go to the theatre and yell "Brutus! Come onnnn!!!!" during Julius Caesar.

That's because you need to hear the dialogue I guess.

Hmm. Should crowd be hushes when players kicking for goal in footy? Like set shots? Wonder if percentages would increase for goals kicked

Bigger ball, bigger target, more players. Its a game about noise

But crowds make noise during rallies and the players male their backhands and forehands and drop shots ok

That's not the point I am making. Should tennis players, golfers etc. be able to suck it up? Probably. But the expectation on spectators for those sports is clear. If yelling and screaming is that important to you then don't go to the tennis.

Not sure.

Actually don't know how you attend squash. Do you just sit/stand behind the glass wall?

Yeh usually in pro tournaments its all glass.

 

[Scotland]

Holy s**t that's cool. Well as cool as a game of squash can get.

crowds at table tennis are very quiet

 

[Billy ray]

crowds at table tennis are very quiet

Is that a result of the countries in which games are usually held?

Yeh its awesome huh.

 

[Scotland]

Maybe squash can become the new darts.

 

[peternorth]

probably. its a respect thing

So you have them at home and are intending to return at a later time to consume them?

I guess you could say you have grape expectations.
