The worst thing is when kids are at a pool table, even WHEN there is a sign. Throwing balls about, messing up the cues and cloth

OMG I really really hate that.

Or if you are in the middle of a game and they just toddle over and pick up the black or something

Then the parents sit laughing saying ahh how cute

Yeah, you try ask the nicely to stop and it and the parents get right nasty. Like saying "He's only messing about" in that snidey tone. I've got to say it's the mothers who are worst for it.

I also hate when parents try hurry you up, just so their little snot can play

I just deathstare the parents for a while, and hope they get the message and tell the kid to stop(asking the kid never works, you just get a giggle or something and that irritates me more) and if they dont after a while...I will say very loudly 'excuse me, would you mind sorting your kid out, we are trying to play here' or something. Usually it embarrasses them into doing something, sometimes they even drink up and leave
