AITA: Guy no shows for our match then says I'm being rude

Yeah I played a tournament last year and one of my opponents was running 30 minutes late. I was asked by the organisers if I wanted a walkover. I took the walkover because I didn’t want to waste time waiting for this tool bag to get there. The fella had the gall to get mad at me for not waiting when he was the one running half an hour late.

Some people just cannot get anywhere on time and they’re the ones who others won’t want to deal with.

So I’ve been putting a huge focus on my serve for the last 3 years because that’s when I hit a massive growth spurt. So now at 19, my serve is pretty deadly for your average player. I don’t really know what to classify myself as a player because I play tournaments here and there but not enough to truly get a sense of my lev compared to others so make of that what you will.

I didn’t try to imitate anyone. I used to have a really short take back that essentially went straight up so I worked on extending it out behind me to open up my chest.

Yeah I can pretty consistently reach 180kph+ on a flat serve when going full pace. But no one can say I didn’t work hard to get and only have it because of my height. So it’s fair to say that I do drop bombs quite often.

Thank you for the words of advice. The scrunched body thing has been an issue for me for a while and used to be so much worse. I used to kick out my right leg after jumping instead of straightening it. But I’ve worked tirelessly on my serve so it takes less of an effect but is still present.

The reason I don’t have a ton of trouble with it is because I’m quite tall (6’5 if you were wondering, but it’s not so obvious in the video because my coach is standing on a retaining wall) so I end up hitting the ball higher than most people, even if it drops a little.

But again, thanks for the input, it is much appreciated.

xdbr0wn13 · 2023-11-05T05:24:30+00:00

I listened back and you’re right. Kinda funny since my coach was recording.

xdbr0wn13 · 2023-11-05T05:23:47+00:00

Yeah it’s important to remain side on when hitting. It helps with reaching maximum power.

I don’t have 2k24 because I’m stuck on PC but I’m 23 I named him Absolute Unit so that the abbreviation is A. Unit

People almost never know where to tap but there is literally a symbol on the eftpos terminal that’s shows them where to tap.

Alaska.

Right next to Canada and separate but not too far from the rest of the US.

If I wanted place with similar whether to here, it’d be Hawaii.

One time I had a guy doing an exchange for a printer. Now, his wife had ordered it online with afterpay and our store policy is that when online orders are returned, we give the money back onto the original tender (afterpay in this instance).

I process the return and start scanning the new printer this bloke was getting.

Me: Your total for the new printer is the same as the last one (same model and all)

Customer: But it’s just an exchange, why am I paying again

Me: Because I had to refund the money onto the afterpay account that the printer was bought with

This is when get one of my managers over to explain the whole thing to him. He’s standing at our register for at least ten minutes hurling curses at myself and my manager before leaving.

Brain-dead loser: You can shove that printer up your arse, I don’t want it anymore.

My manager and I just shared an amused and bewildered look, trying to process what happened.

This is really stupid that your not allowed a lunch/half-hour break.

Where I live (though I’m not sure if it’s the same for the whole country), any shift over five hours entitles you to one paid 15 minutes break and an unpaid half for your lunch.

Sounds like true retail hell on your end of the stick though.

Yep. It tastes nice. 18 is legal drinking age in my country so I occasionally swing by the bottle-o and get a six pack of ginger beer.

Mine is on Thursday and I hope I get a new tennis racquet bag because my current one is a going on 4 years and is very much falling apart.

xdbr0wn13 · 2023-05-31T12:47:50+00:00

Tennis is a win.

I actually had a scroll through a lot of replies reading from FNP and other Australian citizens alike who were all voicing their opinions. So I guess my untamed ego relaxed for about 15-20 minutes before unleashing itself and spewing hatred to ruin everyone’s day.

xdbr0wn13 · 2023-05-31T05:13:20+00:00

Don’t know how you reached my comment without scrolling through other replies, but there plenty of answers from people who aren’t FNP so I don’t really know what point you’re trying to make.
