Just discovered some people/golfers are pig ignorant

Maybe the bloke who struggled to say 4 words to you had just received some bad news himself?

Craigg did indeed hit the nail on the head; whilst it costs nothing to be polite, you know absolutely nothing about that guy's life, issues or circumstances and maybe you should give him the benefit of the doubt rather than trashing him on an internet forum because he didn't talk to a complete stranger whilst trying to take a leak. :rolleyes:

I know what you are saying blue, but his manner, the way he spoke, he had no issues or circumstances, he was not upset, down or anything to suggest otherwise.
if the role was reversed and I was asked the question. It would of gone along the the lines of "I have not played yet so cannot really comment".
I honestly think it was more to do with the person than the golfer.

How on earth do you know???

Tashyboy, everyone likes a friendly, open person and that's how I perceive you just through this forum.

But not everyone is like that with strangers, ESPECIALLY in an unusual situation like taking a pee.
Personally I occasionally find over-friendly people quite insensitive to the fact that not everyone shares their exuberance to strike up a conversation with a stranger.

And as for the "friendly members" business, I think people have to be rather delicate to make such instant judgements on that. Certainly some bloke striking up a conversation while I'm having a slash wouldn't push that club up the rankings on Trip Advisor for me .... :D

How do you know what issues he had going on

The guy was trying to go to a toilet and some stranger was trying to talk to him - can you really not understand how people could find that uncomfortable hence not opening up to you ?!?!

If the roles were reserved I expect he wouldn't have started talking to strangers in the toilet whilst they are peeing


Please tell me this is a joke ?
 
Perhaps the OP struck off the conversation slightly differently than its been reported...

Tashyboy: "Tashyboys little man says How's the course look?"

Normal man havin' a slash: "You're weird. I don't know"

One of the most random and strange posts I've read on here.

Today our course was hosting the Notts PGA pro am comp.

me and a couple of pals had booked in to play a nine hole comp 10 mins after the PGA comp.

On arrival I went straight to the lavvy for a no1. Whilst stood there I said to the guy who was stood at the side of me doin the same. "how's the course look" the course was tinned two weeks ago, so I was interested to see how it was. He says rather abruptly, "I don't know". Nothing else but "I don't know". It wasn't what he said but the way he looked down upon me and said it. I said "oh you have not played yet then". He said "No". And agin it was the way he said it. I was seething.

now don't get me wrong , I have read on here loads of times about members at clubs being arses, friendly, and somewhere in between, etc etc. I was fully aware he was a visitor and as a member you should go, out of your way to be friendly and promote your club. Which I did, but he was a grade one DICK.

Proper rubbed me up the wrong way he did.

Why hey be like that?

You should have asked him to use his other hand then. :eek:
 
You said he looked down at you? Well, there's your answer 'big' Tashy, he obviously felt inferior ;)
 
I think it's been a great posting!

Why?


It proves that Tashyboy can write posts in proper, readable, English! :whistle:
 
The thread that keeps on giving this one ..

Where i agree with Tashy re people being friendly /ignorant i can also see peoples opinion that maybe the timing was a bit inappropriate

BUT manners cost nothing , if the guy had any of the fears like the ones mentioned then he'd be better off using one of the cubicles ..

Just my opinion tho & unfortunately they are there in every walk of life
 
The sort of thing that I'd just put down to his mind being on other things - even maybe just himself - and it would be forgotten by the time I'd done up my zip. No point in taking on resentments over things you know nothing about and that don't really affect you - they get in the way of the things you do have to deal with.
 
Personally if any stranger starts up a conversation with me whilst I am on the bog I think it's a bit weird. In the bar fine, on the course fine, having a waz, strange. Each to their own though.
 
I have a feeling that there's a bloke on the Prostate Problems Monthly forum telling a story about a bloke who kept trying to talk to him whilst he was having a slash.
Every time he thought he managed to get his flow going the bloke pipes up again and puts him off.

If your life is such that a curt exchange with a stranger in the gents is enough of a shocker to stimulate a forum post for all the world to see, I guess the rest of your life must be pretty good.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

I read the first couple of lines of the opening post and expected a tale of shock and horror. What followed not only was a total anti climax but also, if I'm honest, really rather pathetic.

Sorry.
