    Bowling alleys, desperate for any business at all anymore: “Just… let him play.”

    I’ve genuinely seen someone doing something similar.

    A group of us went bowling for a friend’s birthday, about 25 years ago, and were having a great time. All of a sudden there was this really loud sort of crashing boom, so loud that everyone instinctively flinched, and we all looked around to see what the noise was.

    A few lanes over was a group of young girls in their early teens, and one was standing at the line for her lane holding the bowling ball like a shot put. As she was launching the second ball, staff were running in from all directions to try to stop her.

      The lanes won’t be very happy about that
      So at least we would need a different floor for that - and probably different balls

        I’m imagining this is one of those rubber or even foam dodgeballs just for the sake of my faith in humanities.
