Frequent a pool hall

I feel right at home and it's fucking awesome, any of you go to pool halls? I get a few doubleshots of Bombay sapphire (neat) fuck with jukebox and shoot pool. There is no better thing to do for a miserable loner.

Have you tried buying booze at a place that doesn't have a 300+% upcharge? The social aspect of bars/pool halls is nice, but it's not worth paying that much more for drinks.

I k own what you're saying bro. 13 bucks for a doubleshot is hefty, I should be pregaming or walking to my car for quick chugs. Fuck it, it adds to the experience

decent tables tho

What makes them decent? They're 9ft that's all that matters to me

I do like a game of billiards, but I haven't played in years. I wish I was more social.

so you just shoot pool by yourself while all the normoids have fun and normal people experiences right next to you?

better than the shite in a scottish pub
so yeah, our standards are about the same

>no eye contact
>fewest words possible
>if staff starts recognizing me i stop going there

There's nothing wrong with shooting pool alone dummy

Abolish the ATF

You fool! They pour me way more than a doubleshot because of that

Sounds lonely. Personally my coping mechanism is going for salsa/bachata socials. Dancing with random girls beats playing shitty pool anyday.

i never said there was, it's the being around normoids in a social setting that i'm averse to.
what if a couple came in and started kissing or something

OP here, fill me in on these salsa dances you speak. Any tips? You ever hook up?

No. Everytime I go to a public drinking establishment I start a fight. Like sure I'm going to win, but it's not good for my reputation so I just drink at home

I used to when I was a miserable drunk between the age of 22-24. I would go to any bar with a pool table, post up, and play for about 6 hours. I'd people watch, hang out with weird old miserable drunk men, drink about 10 beers and 6 mixed drinks every night, walk home sloshed and pass out at 2 30, wake up at 7, go to work, get a little drunk between jobs, go to second job, go to bar, rinse and repeat.

Pretty awful time of my life to be honest OP. But yeah pool is fun

I usually get so hammered I make a fool of myself. I had to start drinking at home too

they remember you because either
1) only 5 people go there per week and even a monkey can recall 5 human faces
2) you are the only person that goes to that pool hall (lol) that doesn't have track marks all up your veins and doesn't look like he just smoked 6 rocks of crack and meth.

Well no it's not that I make a fool of myself, I stopped doing that when I became old enough to drink, it's just I guess I have a personality that grates on people and the end up telling me we should have a chat outside, and then they kiss the cobble.

You ever go with any coworkers? When's the last time you went to shoot pool?
