What's your lacrosse related pet peeve?

[Dadabhoy_Muzzi]

I hate it when new players who cannot even play their position try to give you advice on how you should play even though you play a different position. (New middie trying to give advice to an experienced goalie.)

[JaxLax30]

I hate it when people turtle on a hit

What's a turtle? (not the animal I'm guessing) :thinking: :WTF:

I feel so stupid... :beard: :bawling: :loser:

[Wubbie]

Try to cover up because they don't want to get hurt...

I also hate that...

But I seem to find myself hating people who will run down the field, attempt to roll dodge, but end up just standing(not moving) with their back towards the defensemen, as if they were playing basketball.

[chargerlacrosse]

haha dude thats so tru...for me, the friggin middies never give up the ball, and when they do, they dont cut...so then i get to X, push crease, perfect pass, bobbled = frustration >> next time down, iso, inside roll multiple fakes right into the pipe = slashing penalty for me right after....what makes me more angry than anything is getting a buddy pass esp. from the guys who cant catch the aforementioned laserlike feeds

[ant1216d]

1. When one of you captains is horrible.
2. In 6 vs. 3's in practice the attack score a goal on me and celebrate.
3. Referees who tell me not to throw the ball to them after a goal.
4. Kids on my team who don't no how to body a kid.
5. People who can't scoop.

[cool beans]

when i hit a pipe or get stoped by the goalie on his doorstep
when im on the doorstep, i knock the door in. (i useually don't use metaphores)

[mohawklax1212]

hitting the post
when teammates miss a perfect pass right on the crease
when your arm pads slide

[Mustanglax033]

kids who cradle when they dont have the ball. i dont no why it just makes me really mad

[TallLax]

Oh yeah, and refs that suck. My team has had a bad batch of refs this season.

[STXWarrior]

when some retarded ref doesnt call an obvious penalty :read:
when some one on your team is a showoff and because of that they screw up a perfect play :guns:

[Mustangs21]

1.) Shooting balls into my neighbors back-yard and some how the dissapear.
2.) Refs who don't know what their doing.
3.) Rich kids who buy a new stick every other week thinking it will make them better.
4.) Not having a good grip on my pole. (I tape it before every game).
5.) Cocky kids!!!

[ByrdDpole]

Calling middie back, and no one stays back, and having to run around in circles looking for an open man or getting it back to goalie and doing the clear again.

Baseball checks. You know the checks where guys take a step back, grip both hends at the bottom of the handle and try to rip you open? I've had that happen twice in one game and had welts in the shapes of sticks on my stomach.

Kids who slash when they can't get the ball from my stick.

Attackmen who stay behind the goal running around incesently. Make a break. You can't score from behind the goal.

Having to stop shoats because the galie is terrible. No joke, I made just about as many stops as the goalie did this season. With my body.

[LAXLONGPOLE]

to much whip and if you have black shoes when it is really sunny out you toes get scorched

[SoKal-Lax]

1-losing balls
2-coach yealling at you for something you didnt do or that you did right
3-when players from the other team shin bite you then get mad when you lay them out
4-when players from the other team talk to you about stupid stuff

[cougarlax21]

mine would have to be when you are stringing a stick and you cannot get the topstring right or the shooters

[defoalie]

i really resent those of you who said playing with newbs, i started playing this game in 9th grade, i wanted to start playing in 8th but my parents wouldn't let me, and i don't consider myself to have a lot of natural talent, and i don't even think i'm very good, but i'm a hard worker, and i'll continue to work hard and i love this game, don't talk smack on new kids, hell i might be better then you

as for the pet peeves

teams who stall the ball, thats just pussified, if you're scared to attack the goal then you deserve to hand it over]

my cup

getting hit by a ball and it still rolls in

missing saves

missing easy saves

missing the easiest saves i feel like i'm letting everyone down

[CardinalPuff]

as a ref:

punks who don't know what color the rule book is, never mind the actual rules....shut up and play....

kids who think that they are playing in some prison league where 'saggin' shorts are all the rage....who gives a &%# what your boxers look like?...

riding attackmen who take that cheap, no-hope hack at a clearing middie/defensemen as they pass mid-field.....good luck drawing a slash from me when the ball comes back......

[pshwarriorlax17]

gettin javelined in the stomach when ur stick gets stuck in the ground going for a groundball thats blah

[pINK fLOYD]

When your going to practice some lacrosse, its a beutiful day, you feel like shooting and practicing, your ripping really well...3 minutes in you rip one right off the top right post and it flys into the woods and your lax-high is gone.

[ramslac05]

when i try to quick stick it and it doesnt get all thewayinto my head and it falls rightin front of me

elbow pads sliding down

my chin strap being sweaty when u put it back on

how my rp randomly throws nowhere near the person

usuall its fine but itll randomly send the ball in the complete wrong direction

[nick908]

middies who stand at the midfield line instead of coming back and playing defense.

being left alone in front of the crease in a 3 on 2(me and goalie) situation.

messing up the clear.

getting hit from behind. even when theres a flag i feel like such a moron for geting knocked over.

tripping...its just embarrising haha.

ur cup getting all messed up during the game.

1) other goalies that wear shin pads
2) When a shot hits your stick and still goes in
3) getting scored on five hole
4) Getting hit on the inside of the thigh, and the ball still goes in
5) Garbage goals
6) D-middies that just put their head down and run on clears (dont watch for the pass)

[nick908]

kids who tell me im slow even though im faster than they are.
goalies who dont talk.
attack who yell at their team's defense.

[centlax21]

biggest peeves....
1.when you feed somoene and they drop the ball
2.when the attackmen dont back up a shot and the other team gets it.
everything else is minimal

[literacola]

when another guy who isnt that good has an extremly sucky practice, and you think "This guy sucks", and right after you(who is an alright player) drops a catchable pass. :banghead:

[laycrosse]

http://s81.photobucket.com/albums/j224/laycrosse/?action=view&current=8a65cfcb.flv

[gnrrocks110]

when you go thrashing into the ground for a crazy amazing ground ball....then realize that theres no one there at all except you, you missed, and then you gotta look like an idiot and scoop it up after.

[Lefty5036]

I hate people who rake the ball instead of actually just doing a regular pick up and losing the balls!

[wcwarriorlax]

some of mi pet peeves r when im playin middie and mi attack men dont hustle on a ride or wen dey dont hustle to a ground ball

[SIh0tCaILILa]

kids who scoop one handed and have their stick knocked out of their hands...that really pisses me off

[itsthatkid]

A. Bull**** calls
B. Losing lacrosse balls.
C. When kids come to me or other stringers and say " I want my stick just to throw like (insert super famouse pro/college lacrosse player's name here).
d. When kids ragg on you for stringing their stick 'wrong', when they didn't tell you how they wanted the stringers, where they wanted the pocket, ect.
E. When attack gets lazy.

[rebel_lax40]

1. arm pads sliding down
2. kids who dont pass ccuz they dont like me
3. attackmen who dont pass to middies
4. whne u and a teammate go for a wide open groundball and he says hes got it tries to scoop one handed misses and the defenseman gets it and i have to run back on d while he gets to stay on attack

[b_cannons_123]

1. Having no balls on the endline (for an attackman that sucks when the ball goes way far out and I have to chase it.)
2. People who call a stick a raquet
3. Parents who think they know what they are talking about when they yell at a ref.
5. Dropped passes.
6. When a goalie tries to clear the who field and it goes out of bounds.
7. Refs getting in the way.
8. Getting injured.
9. When someone checks someone and they give up because they think that they either got a flag or even if they know they got a flag.

[HeadHeartHustle]

When I am A) Playing a team of newbs or B) On a team of newbs. Im sorry I just can't stand beginners in the high school level....You can either play or you can't. And if you can't....then get off the field and play baseball.


OMG option B is my high school team. I was on JV and we had 4 returning soph. and all the rest freshman.OMG!!!!!! none of the freshman played before except for one kid who was good but he played attack. So we had a god awesome attackline, but absolutely no middies. All of the kids at the end of the season were just learning how to cradle properly, and most of them couldnt drive opposite to save their lives. Also we had like 2 aggresive and big players, but the rest were small. so we won like 3-4 games this season out of about 15!

Which bring me to a nother pet peeve. Defensemen hitting from behind, when your waitng at the midline for a ground ball rolling your way. Thats how i sprained my wrist last year, and was out for about 2 weeks.

Also when all defense men try to do is take the body. I kinda like it thought cuz all i do is throw a headfake and im golden.

[mhebert88]

longpoles that clear to the endline before looking at wide open attakmen on the opposite side of the field.

playing attack on a team that cannot get clear the ball.

Losing a possesion on a shot that goes to the end line...becuase called the guys stick and not the body...

[Matz24]

i hate it when
1. u lose only because ur goalie played horrible
2.u hit the post and the other team goes down and scores
3.when ur slash guard slides down
4.parents whio know nothing bout lacrosse and still yell
5.kids who have played for years and still suck
6.kids that dont pass when ur wide open in front of the net

[baggataway20]

When i have a bad game and then everyone on your team askes if you are ok or if you feel ok. Obviouly i know im playing horriblr just let me try to get through it without making it worse

[LAX#16]

when goalies come to the practice and dont want to get shot on

[rizzini]

when i shoot and it hits the goalies body. gets me so mad

when players dont go to practice all week except the day before a game.

and one of my biggest is when kids who dont play ask if you can hit kids with your stick in lacrosse, and when i say yes, they say they want to play just so they can lay kids out and hit the sh*t out of them with their sitcks.

that last one happens to me all the time, especially from the football players

[laxCCM]

My biggest pet peeve is most definitely when our middies don't do ANYTHING on defense and its just 6 on 3 and when they get burned and their guy scores they say things like "where was the slide" and tell us to "pick it up"

ITS SO AGGRAVATING

[goldenlacrosse!]

I hate it when your goalie whines about you shooting to close or to hard
when your attack never does anything with the ball
when someone has a great shot and doesn't take it
when your X attackman runs around the crease when he has 3 open middies and then drops the ball.
having to run back to play d when your attack makes a bad pass
people who just pass to get rid of the ball and noones there
when your goalie makes a crappie clear
and when your coach puts you on the 3rd line because they need the best middie on the worst line because he puts all 6 good and decent kids on first and second

[Jod91493]

I have a VERY small spot of cement that i shoot against on my house and it really annoys me when i hit the house's siding and it makes a BIG noise and my mom yells at me

[dukelacrosse26]

when the ball is all the way down field nd the defenseman puts his stick on u its so annoying

[Live4It]

I have a VERY small spot of cement that i shoot against on my house and it really annoys me when i hit the house's siding and it makes a BIG noise and my mom yells at me
Yea man I hear ya there.

[donduuk]

whining attack men who cant take a hit

people with bad attitudes

breaking my dpole (unles its when i check someone)

[Crimdad]

When my shaft bends(D Pole)
Head is bent
Play in rain with soft mesh
Uneven Pockets(me too Mich Laxer)

[navyboy28]

all of the above plus feeding an attackman in perfect position and watching him waste time spinning his stick right before he gets clobbered and wastes his shot op. and my assist op.

[GAlax3]

definatly when the pads slide down
when you can never get ur shooters the right way
when you cant scoop the ball and u look like an idiot trying to scoop it

-kids who were one high sock one color and one a different color, especially if its not even the team colors..and even more if they suck
-the worst one of all, when i work my butt off on defense, get a turnover in some way, get a fast break, and i could take the shot but in the corner of my eye i see my attackman with a 1on1 with the goalie, i pass, he misses or drop the pass

[LacrosseDan]

when my pad slip down or come undone.

[Pricealot]

Lazy defensemen who aren't fast enough to keep up with you, so when you beat them, they throw all 6 feet of pole into a desperation check. They always hurt, and whats even more frustrating is they sometimes get the ball. (I'm bad about hanging my stick after a successful dodge) :banghead:

[GAlax3]

when the little velcro from my arm pad keeps catching on my penny

[uvalax572]

when all the really bad players run with the lacrosse stick circling and it makes them look like they're in a kayak. god I just want to kill them. I'm really glad none of my defensemen do that....I would get off the field so I wouldn't be associated to him.

[Jaegerlaxer]

when a ref misses a call, and makes up for it by ignoring a blatant penalty.
And when attackman (Im defense) talk trash, no matter how much they are down

[mhscats09]

1)when you get laid out by anyone
2)when a noob teammate misses the easiest pass right at the crease
3)losing balls
4)when i trip with noone around me
5)when teammates talk s***
6)ball hogs
7)when your goalie flials his larms and llegs in the goal before faceoffs and looks llike hes having a siezure!!!!

[beamerball101]

all have been said before but i figured i give my two cents worth...
1. losing balls
2. when middie back is called and all middies stop at the mid line and look at each other
3. hitting pipe
4. missing a ground ball numerous times
5. arm pads sliding down
6. defensemen wanting to play attack just for the heck of it
7. players not good enough to start ahead of you do anyway
8. you change your shooting strings a million times but still cant get them right

[Live4It]

whining attack men who cant take a hit

people with bad attitudes

breaking my dpole (unles its when i check someone)
I'm gonna correct you there a lil bit, i'm gonna say any lacrosse player who can't take a hit. For example. in practice we were doing some drill were we had to get the ball from other people who had the ball there were people partnered up, then a few just go anywhere and try to get it from anyone, well I was one of them, so there was this defender and I hit him kinda hard and in the whiniest voice you could imagine (almost crying) he said to me "you hit me like that again i'm gonna punch you in the {censored} face" I just walked away from him, I mean come on.
And not that it really has any relavance but I play attack.

[captn quikrists]

i hate it when you juke a kid out of his socks and then your two other attackman are standing in your way with their defenders on you

[Hawkeye]

when u clearly win the face off and the ball goes right to one of your teammates and he misses the ground ball and the other team gets it on a fast break!

[singsingallstar]

when teammates don't come to practice because they don't feel like it even though they are perfectly fine.

[CaVLaX19]

When I wear short socks sometimes because I'm just not thinking when I leave for school in the morning, and I run with those with my cleats over them, sometimes those socks will slide off my foot, and I'm now running with a sock that half covers my foot, and I have to take my cleats off to fix my sock. Most of the time I remember to wear or bring long socks though. Yeah it's also pretty annoying when my arm guard slides off. Also, slackers. Just last practice we had to do a lot of sprints and push ups and the coach said to run back to the locker room and that we would be coming right back if he beat anybody running there. Well he beat two of the better players on our team and we ended up having to run all the way back to the field to do more sprints and push ups before we raced him back again.

[spike191]

As an LSM, really slow middies that come of at the speed of a slug when i run my hardest every time.

Kids who try to be funny on the wing of a faceoff, and run around or move when you try to get next to them.

Also, 4-5 turnovers in a row when i have to run on and off the field constantly.

[cannon_5]

totally...
also kids who where different colored socks.

[MadCowDisease]

Kids who don't practice.

[DoubleDeuces22]

-I can't stand half my team right now. Every single one has to have the last word and coaches make us run for it every time. I'm prolly the only one that wont make a smart remark after somone yells at me. Also I can't stand the fact that half my team thinks they are gangsters. We are an hour outside of Phila and there are farms all around. Pull your pants up, stop trying to rap, and play lacrosse.
-I also am on a line with one kid who is four-foot-nothing (exageration but you get the point) but thinks he can do everything because he netted one goal in the begining of the year.
-and lastly failure to advance calls-get the ball in the box, its not that hard

[Sir_Jimmy_Page]

lazy [no profanity] who run 2 sprints or hills then complain of shin splints so they stop running

especially when i get nasty shin splints yet still manage to run through 3 more suicides and 5 laps

and especially when these lazy [no profanity here either] goof off in class so their teachers tell my coach so we end up running all practice, which they dont do because they complain of shin splints or other fake injuries

and most especially when this same kid did the same thing for half of football season, doesn't start, won't take anybody's advice on getting better, and basically tries as hard as liberace at the playboy mansion

[faceofflax15]

when people spell lacrosse, LaCrosse.. with a capital C.

[PRLacrosse26]

at practice when people cant run sprints or run laps but can run during scrimages

[VTLaxFan]

When a first year dosen't has sneakers and ends up wearing skate shoes to practice, then they can't run and look like idiots.

[Libertymiddie3]

[lprgkhgghhggfdfdwwqsdv

[roycegracie47]

My current peeve is guys of any skill level who are having a bad gam eand instead of coming out and cooling off to get their heads on straight continue to stay in and further frustrate themselves which goes on to frustrate the rest of the team when their play gets worse and worse. By example I mean when a pole starts swinging away more and more and overpursues leading to getting beat constantly or getting a bad penalty at the wrong time, or guys on O forcing passes into coverage or launching a simple feed downfield/out of bounds. At this point it doesn't matter if they're the best player on the team or not, they don't fully have their heads in the game and they need to let someone else step on the field and try and do what they (at the moment) can't regardless of skill level.

[WIlax]

i got hurt this year..and doing stats is probably the most annoying thing ive ever done in my life..stats are the devil
definatly when pads slide...
when you cant seem to get the right amount of whip in your stick..or out of your stick for that matter..
non symetrical pockets drive me nuts
and the biggest one is probably when kids give up on groundballs or dont hustle..like if the balls checked out of their stick..and then they just stand there and watch the defense pick it up..

[freeskier1292]

when you drop a pass or loose the ball somehow or miss the net form like a foot away

[rhslax25]

Defenders who can't handle the ball.

[COBRALAX13]

defenders who just sit there and whack ur arms when the balls not even close to you and when they suck on their mouth guards

[shake n' bake]

-when kids where 3 different socks
-one kid on my team completely missed the goal on crease.....biggesst rival in the state game
-coaches frieends sons who make the team and they suck
-when the chess team makes fun of u
-ur about to score the winning goalin the last seconds and u have a siezure

[livinglegend]

wen i get the ball at d-pole and attackman who cant check start violently swing there stick right into my arm where there is no padding....stupied attackmen

hahahaha thats the greatest. moral of the story put on padding, which leads to my biggest pet peave, when a big stick wears nothign on his arms and trys to run the ball up countless times and complains when he gets wacked

noo wait i lied thats my second biggest pete peeve.

i cant stand it when you make it a hit or something and theres no call or a call someone disagrees with and instead of arguing with the ref they just stick there arms out and put on a timeless expression that asks the question wheres the call. the only thing worse than that is when the ref turns and looks at the idiot and calls a penalty

[LacrosseDan]

when you play with rely annoying kids who critisize everything you do(even during play) even when you are doing the right thing and they are doing the wrong thing.

When kids have the best equipment but suck.

When you try to twique(sp?) the way your stick throws but then screw it up even more.

When you dont have enough sidewall to string your mesh on your head.

when your arm pads slide up and down your arm.

when it rains and your face gets ichy from the water.

when people who play pansy sports like soccer say that there sport is just as rough as lax. (yeah it has happend to me)

[lax4life6]

wen i get the ball at d-pole and attackman who cant check start violently swing there stick right into my arm where there is no padding....Smart attackmen

You're probably not gonna be so keen to run the ball after that eh? I do it to goalies too. Then when their arms are good and beat up you start taking the ball away.

And after my game yesterday- kids who hit you when you are not even close to having the ball. I was running crossfield to go for a dpole who was trying to clear it, then some big kid runs out of nowhere and hits me when im like 10 feet from the ball and his team has it. I couldn't even tell what that kid was thinking.

[bcannons14]

i hate when my arm gaurds slide down
i hate when you burn your man and all you get is desparation slashes to the arm
i hate when 8 guys are fighting for a ground ball for more than 5 seconds

[MadCowDisease]

People who can't play and just randomly hit you.. not even well placed pocke checks either, I mean slashing you're arm and then you run right by him and want to punch him in the face.

Also, people who suck and try to give you advice, even though you're clearly 10000x better than him.

[Opmidi13]

Breaking Mesh during a game, people who get called for an illegal stick, hitting the post, getting injured, getting excessively slashed in a pick up game, losing my lacrosse balls, D poles with no skill that play only to hit people

[EastCoastDeft]

non-smetrical pockets

cutting your ankle with your cleats

missing a gb

not catching easy lolipop passes

making fun of someone, then doing the excact same thing they just did

going up for a huge hit then tripping

panicking with the ball

that it for now...

[sookelaxkid]

kids that don't show up at practice
biast refs
kids that swear on the bench so loudly the parents can hear
lacrosse being cancelled
kids that don't wear high socks and make me look stupid

[LaxAttackman28]

1.)cutting your ankles because your feet hit together when you run
2.)not being able to get your shooting strings right
3.)guys that get past the first two slides and then leave me to cover three guys because they are too lazy to run back.
4.)guys that wear certain stuff they don't need just to look cool on the field.

[Tool]

when refs call push in the back when I accidently place my hands there

[MadCowDisease]

GAMES GETTING CANCELLED DUE TO RAIN.

God... why can't we play? We've missed the last practice and game due to the rain. Pansies... it's only rain.

I hate parents who complain about something that happened to their kids, like playing in the cold

[lax4life6]

It's for the fields. Here, if we play in the rain the field is unusable for a week. So we either don't play or rent some turf at a local college (RPI,Union, Ualbany,Siena)

[MadCowDisease]

It was turf though.

[mattlax743]

gettin a good hard stick check on an offensive player, and the ball stays in. Especially when there stick flips over or upside down and they still keep the ball.

when you have good position on a guy, and despite all the checking and pushing you do on him, they still manage to get a shot off, even though you never got beat.

when you stick throws perfectly, and then the next day the shooters are messed up and they create whip and it looks like you have never thrown a lacrosse ball in your life.

my teammate who cries about gettin any type of check on him, but yet when you have the ball, he hacks every where that is a slash.
when that same teammate thinks a slash is when you check his gloves or stick and strip the ball from him.
and when that same teammate tries to start a fight with you in practice when you have about 8 inches and 70-80 pounds on him

[331finlax]

I absolutely hate
losing balls
people who give up
new kids that think they no it all
when the goalie thinks he doen't have to participate because all he says he does is save balls.

[justlaxin1819]

i hate it when there is a groundball and someones going down to get it and then stops halfway through b/c theres a d-man running at them

[LacrosseDan]

People who can't play and just randomly hit you.. not even well placed pocke checks either, I mean slashing you're arm and then you run right by him and want to punch him in the face.

Also, people who suck and try to give you advice, even though you're clearly 10000x better than him.


Oh ya ive run into that. There is this guy on our box lacrosse team who is like that. He thinks he knows everything about the sport and is really good but he blows. I would say this one guy that just started this year on our team is better than him.

[washjeff]

not catching a pass drives me crazy. especially if its a poass that i should have scored off of. or an interception. especially missing like a catch on a goalie clear....

as a goalie i second this. i didn't start in college but i had the best clears on my team, and when an ncaa middie or d-pole can't catch a ball i basically put in their stick for them it drives me up a wall.

[DutchyLacrosse]

defenders who just sit there and whack ur arms when the balls not even close to you and when they suck on their mouth guards

I suck on my mouthguard, but that's because i got one of those shockdoc ones.
Sometimes the mouthguard comes lose from my teeth so i have to suck the away from between my teeth and the mouthguard so it will fit tightly again.

[Auburn10]

when teammates don't come to practice because they don't feel like it even though they are perfectly fine.

Deffinatly a huge one of mine, and when people don't slide and make you look horrible or when people are just plain lazy in practice/don't show up and they expect to play a lot I think thats it if there is more I'll post em up

EDIT: oh yeah, deffinatly arm pads sliding, turf burn and cuts on my shins/ankles/legs, and little cuts on your fingers from them rubbing against your gloves

[orynos]

most deffinetly when my elbow pads slide down because when they do i can't move my glove which causes me to not be able to cradle.

[mattlax743]

people who will slide when they dont have too, or when people come over to help/double and they dont move there feet and end up setting a pic on you.

[DutchyLacrosse]

I hate it when my teammates give me all kinds or directions from the sidelines when i'm in the field, it's confusing and it drives me crazy.

Nasty fields where you practicaly get speared by your own stick when going for a groundball.

Mullets and long hair coming from the back of helmets.
Some people just have no idea how akward and distastefull it looks if you see one of those ugly, dandruff infested, flee hoarding mullets dancing from the back of their helmets.

[ET5057]

my school's 'field' is right by a branch of the chicago river, so theres a huge fence maybe 20 ft high to stop balls.

but you see, this fence doesnt help when ripping a shot when the goal is backed up against it, hitting the top post of the goal, while trying to hit the top corner. as you would imagine the ball goes flying 10 ft over the fence. straight into the river.

it was the only ball i brought to school that day... :sad:

at the end of the season bring a scuba tank to school (there goes your lunch period, heh) You'd make a fortune :naughty: :thumbsup:

[hopkinslax2]

1. Playing a lax team that is completely made up of football players. We played a teamlike this and all they did was body check.
2. The kid on my team that thinks he is great. He uses a real high pocket and he cant catch with it. So annoying.
3.When my armguards fall down and I am always pulling them up.
Kids with illegal sticks.
4. We have two newbs that are horrible. Its not because they are newbs though. They dont practice and are completely uncoordinated.
5. When my dad says I caant get new equipment and uses, "The stick does not make the player." I know I know but it helps. He also says if you gave Kyle Harrison bad equipment and a bad stick he would still be an AA. true but........

[Dman25]

Sand in your mouthguard.
Forgetting any of your equipment or jersey.
When your jock just won't feel right nomatter what.
And when people get pissed off when you lay a legal hit.

[Mid21]

missing the scoop on the ground ball and looking like an idiot. I'm sure someone mentioned it already.

[MadCowDisease]

Just got back from my game... won in OT but MAN I'm pissed.

When the attack/middies are on the crease, perfect position, noone on them, you make a perfect pass to them and they MISS the pass, or miss the net completely.
This happened at least 3 times.

[MElaxer]

we have a turf field that we start to use in the end of march and there is still snow. the side of the field is 15 feet away from a huge gully and half the kids on my team cant catch. You get the picture.

and i hate when kids take their butt end and wrap it in ur shorts and pull.

[xxbenitezxx]

when i miss ground balls while running at full speed, loosing lax balls, and when using a long pole scooping the ball and quickly trying to take a shot and the ball rolls out before you take the shot making you look like an idiot

[okemosLAX]

(i am a goalie)
letting a goal in
when i clear it...and the d misses the pass
when a guy runs right threw my d
a kid on my teams thinks he is the best...but sucks [don't bypass the swear filter]
and theres more....just cant think

[EastCoastOnly]

haha all these are sooo true

-losing a ball down a storm drain then getting someones D stick to try to fish it out but you never find it
-hitting the pipe when your close
-arm strap comes undone, and its flappin all around

[rockstar13]

my shooters arnt right and your coach yells at you
when the coach tells you to get ready you going in then switches the line when it is your turn

DROPED PASSES

a bad reff
when a team talks trash when they are losing

[Laxattack05]

AP's Slipping (Doesnt happen anymore with my new k 18's!!!!)
Bad Passes
When you give a middie a good feed and he misses it than looks at you like you threw it 5 feet over his stick
Really cocky players (a little cockyness is ok. but when i player says that he needs the tape so he can show another coach that he really can score with his off hand, sooooo annoying)
players who always go right, even if the d is shading them 10000000000% to the right.
when a retarded attackman always says "I'm HOT!"

[Laxdawg14]

pet peeve in lax is when kids go to practice or camps in non-lacrosse shorts.... ie soccer shorts or god forbid cargos or some crap

[pcgoalie]

(Goalie)

when you get a injury that really hurts but when you tell people about it they laugh at you. ex. broken thumb. even my trainer laughed at me.

[lsm8fogo]

When people don't put everything they have into a game, and we end up losing. It drives me nuts b/c I want to play and win and they don't seem to care

[Burtonhits3005]

I don't know if anyones sadi this; but when people have sticks strung horribly and don't know about it.

Nub coaches and bad ones.
annoying captains

[TheDish]

Where to start............sliding pads number 1, cocky players number 2, and probably having to take crap from the coaches. I just don't really like listening all the time because I seriously think at times coaches don't know what the hell they are doing. I'm stubborn too. :)

[mljohn1992]

When my elbow pads slide down my arm.
When you string a sidewall and you don't have enough
When coaches tell you to be in to places at once
Non-symmetrical pockets
When you buy a head and it comes with another companies ball stop(like a motive with a warrior ball stop)


All of those are definately my pet peeves too. I hate when every single one of those happens.

[laxcomm]

These are all related since they occur on a restart of play:
1. On a shot the ball goes out of bounds on the end line outside
the "box". An offensive player picks up the ball right behind
the goal and officials start play. This is really bad when a team
is a man down.
2. On a shot the ball goes out bounds sideline. The offense gets
the ball and walks it in 5 yards before play is restarted. Even
worse when a team is man down.
3. Same situation as #2 but the defense gets the ball and the defense
walks it in therefore taking away the side line from the offensive
ride.
4. Free clears with the ball ten yards over the center line.

[MM-WarriorLax]

when the other middies dont pass when im open.
when my neighbors steal my lax balls and when I bring it up to them they lie.
dropping a clear.

[Viewmontlax]

when kids who dont know what theyre even doing try to tell you what to do

[Lacr0sse15]

I hate when a guy throws the ball a mile in the air and coach says "this is the A team, you should have caught that!!". I usually catch anything, but the guys behind me still have to run after the ball and launch it back...
Tryouts, when you have the perfect tryout, but when the coach walks by, you drop your first pass of the day. Or when there's a new player on the other end of line drills...and you seem to pass to him, or get passes from him, EVERY time.
Also, It's really annoying when the peple on ur team don't know how to set up a fast break. And if they end up doing it right, they drop the ball

[valax3]

asymmetrical pockets, sliding elbow pads, people who cant play off hand, broken sidewalls, places that put returned broken heads back on the shelves

[idkWhoUr]

when other teams we vs steal our balls so we have to run the next day cause we lost the balls

when grass gets on my mouthpiece
when people where one high sock and one normal sock

[HeadHeartHustle]

[QUOTE=NF Lax23----<o)]When coaches tell you to be in to places at once
QUOTE]

lol when people use the wrong "two" on TLF . J/K lmao

um, when noobs have crappy lookin pockets, or no pockets foe that matter.
Loosing balls during practice cuz we run for em. having wet pads after a rainy day, forgetting to bring them home to dry, then wearing them the next day.

[dipsetlax24]

playing a game with no screw in your head, then you find out your tape was holding it on the whole time.

that brings me to another. buying a head/shaft that doesnt come with a screw.

[laxd139]

when dpoles (I also play D) running up the sideline with the ball cant put it in their opposite hand and just try to spin inside (and get stopped) or just get pushed out

[navylax161]

refs and coaches who dont know wat theyre talking about

[laxgthreeone]

when you clear it to your defensemen and he tryes to snipe it as far as he can but drops the ball behind him turns around scoops it up after 2 or 3 tries then tries to snipe it again and drops it again ( repeatss until 1. quarter ends 2. timeout 3. Kid gets jacked up )

[tomtom]

People who are impatient for you to string their stick, during finals week, with a custom pocket, for $10, when they KNOW you dont even have leathers at the moment and have 2 others to string as well. Guess what I've been doing lately...

[manup5183]

Deffinetly playing well and than when your coach comes by you drop/throw away a pass.

Injuries that prevent you from going 100%, resulting in you looking like your un-athletic

Beating a team 20+ to 0 and there is no competition

[nacho_D22]

when a first year kid thinks he is the {no cursing] and he really sucks.....and i hate when i play good one game then when my family is there to watch i suck really bad

[lowrollincaddy]

This is one i hate SO much as a LSM. When its a settled clear and the other team brings the ball up. Our team is running a drop back ride to force the goalie to come up the field. The goalie throws a pass, and you yard-sale the middie, you then proceed to throw a pass to an attackman who is BEHIND the goalie. Instead of running as close as he can and dunking the ball he tries to be awesome and put it top shelf from 8 yards out, AND PUTS IT OVER THE GOAL. He then proceeds to get beat to the endline. GOD I HATE THAT!!! Freakin attackmen!!!

[WSULaxGoalie]

At practice when running drills or plays and the coach says stop, those players that keep going 5 or 6 seconds and just have to rip that shot when I'm not looking...

Or the guy on my team that likes to snipe shots at the goal from the SIDELINE while we're running practice.

Teammates that come high to practice.

Teammates that have illegal sticks

Teammates that don't have a backup.

Fans that bring pets to games that are going crazy to go get the ball or that run on the field and get the ball.

When people hate on shin pads...take a 94 mph shot to the shin then talk. Then take 2 more in the same spot and get out of my goal, lol.

[taco5]

MISSING 1 ON 1'S!! I had never missed a 1 on 1 in a game for the 2 years i played lacrosse so far then I was in one of my all star games and i had 9 1 on 1's, hit 5 posts, goalie made 2 saves, and i scored on 2. my new nickname in post man

[lax-crazy]

i know a lot of you guys probably dont get this, i played in a cali and it was a new sport where we were. Well my pet peeve are coachs who coach lax, dont know anything about lax, and dont care to get better.... This gets me go crazy every time i think about it... since all the coachs in my league are like that... all kinda stuck up and think they know everything when in fact they dont even know how to teach a new kid how to catch a ball other than saying "just catch it" (we are talking highschool where most kids are first year players.. or just found out lax existed)

[CPLAX08]

1. when you are cradling, and the ball just falls out.
2. Tripping by yourself
3. Sending your only ball over the fence into a yard with dogs
4. when the head's strings come undone w/o you knowing
5. PMS'ing refs who hate your school
6. Realizing no one has water for a game in the entire team.

[Dodge UranusOff]

All of mine have probab;y already been said, ive only read the first page.


Missing a goalie clear.
Playing a friend and ending up being too nice to him and letting his team win.
you put your helmet down when you drink water (i never do that anymore) and having your mouthguard get full of dirt.
making the amazing catch on a cut and shooting the ball 10 feet above the goal.
Not having your shooters correct (i once thought i had them right, cut them, and they ended up being wrong and too short to re-do).
doing a trad varient and not having enough x-lace (happened to me with my first two RP's.)
Trying to scoop the ball , messing up, and looking stupid when yu struggle so much, or what FLD said, missing and then stepping on it, which obvously makes you fall down embarrisingly.
screwing up on a fancy shot or pass
cradling and having the ball fall out.
when teammates that just found out lax existed throw you a pass that could score you the winning goal, but instead they trow it so light and innacurate the other team intercepts it easily.
being subbed out in sudden death overtime and your worst player goes straight for the goal and the other team gets it, and ends up scoring when if you had been in, the play wouldv'e been much better and actuallly have resulted in our team winning.

[singsingallstar]

when beggineres try to tel the veterains or captains or the veterain captain whos been playin longer them any1 what to do and how to do it when what they tell you is completley wrong

[NJPrideLax]

this is my brothers account- but i play D and i hate the kids with really great pockets that are legal. Its so annoying becuase you can get a perfect check and this super pocket keeps the ball in

[D1Dpole]

1. Kids who always get the luckiest takeaway check and you stand next to their dad and he goes, "he can get ANYONE with that check" followed by loud laughter.
2. Kids who are ALWAYS on coaches "you know what" and then when the paper comes to talk to the coach, your coach praises him saying, "oh he's so coachable and the anchor of our offense" when hes a freshman...

ugh

[Ace135lax]

1. I hate attack men at x that don't move from that spot.
2. I hate when your wide open on the crease and you don't get the pass.
3. I hate getting decked in front of the goal
4. I hate when you improve on something, but man who is worse still goes in.

hate them all./

[valax3]

personally i hate d poles who can only slash, they always get a cheap shot atleast once from me, as well as ball hogs who get more credit than good fundamental players who have more talent but know how to pass

[WSULaxGoalie]

(On D) Getting hit in the helmet with a shot. It hurts sometimes and usually at least one or two straps come undone.

Gee, try stepping into the goal... your goalie puts himself into that situation by choice... and if it hurts, you need a new helmet or one that fits properly. :chair:

[D4LIFE]

When ur teammates dont cut on clears and u have to take ball end-to-end with ur pole (not that attackmen are hard to get past)

[Reid]

when im not playing lacrosse.

[laxin17]

i hattte it when u go to catch a ball while your team is working it around and it falls out of the bottom of you pocket because your strings that keep the bottom part of the net together came undone...UHG you look like an idiot

[HawkletLax]

when you travel and you get refs that favor the local team
and
losing balls in the bushes in my yard, i go crazy

[BigDaddy2112]

Football refs who don't know the game... won't learn it and take money for jogging up and down the field for an hour with the whistle in their pocket. These games always get chippy and out of hand.

Parents who spend one hour a week yelling "Hit Him" from the sidelines.

Goons who listened to mommy & daddy for the last few years (see above) but can't catch a clearing pass.

Goalies who want to heave clears farther than their ability and turn our clears into their cheap goals.

Goalies who try to go end to end and never seem to know when to get rid of the ball. Open players all over, and they get stripped... then... well you know.

Common theme here... dumb people.

[laxmasta 03]

i betcha if you put scotch gaurd on mesh it would weatherproof it :thumbsup:

[preplax29]

when someone other then my coaches, players, or dad tries to scream advice and what to do and what im doing wrong. its just annoying, and i really do not care about what you have to say

[laxmaniac101]

when referees make a bad call know they are wrong and still call it.

when people dont pass when you are wide open

when referees hate your town so they hate your team

[mljohn1992]

when you have an itch on your head, but can't scratch it because of your helmet.

[mljohn1992]

kids who wanna show off in practice and lay out their own team
attack who talk smack then I own them and they complain
the attack i just owned that say they love to ice pickand will ice pick me and they try and i blow by them and they complain even more
having the perfect pocket and then it gets ruined in a rainy game
scooping for a ball but you're too close
calling a middie back pass and the attack i passed to drops it/losses the ball so i have to haul *** back
middies who take my man and their man scores

i guess you don't like attackmen very much.

[RazzMaChazz]

From a goalie standpoint:
Middies, who work 150% on offense, but then walk back on defense.

Attackmen who think helping a goalie on a clear is too much work.

Dpoles who don't tell you their attackmen is sliding to you on a clear. and you get wrecked.

And most annoying, you make that nice big save, and feel lke the man, go for the clear pass and the ball rolls out the back of the lip, and into the goal... that was a good game(10)

[andre.epic]

Mine is when you get a fast break and pass it to the attackmen at the crease and then he drops it. And you know you probably woudlve been better off taking the shot but didn't want to seem greedy.

[7or12]

I hate when your playing in rain and your pocket gets messed up so you dont throw the same at all and look stupid trying to fix it during the game.

[wayzatalax2011]

i hate it when kids on your own team steal your lax balls. it's happened like 5 times to me so now i just leave them at home...
i also hate it when you make that perfect feed to the attackmen that's alone in front of the goal (how rare that is) and he whifs on the catch

[Dodge UranusOff]

i hattte it when u go to catch a ball while your team is working it around and it falls out of the bottom of you pocket because your strings that keep the bottom part of the net together came undone...UHG you look like an idiot
Yeah that happened to my teammate...unfortunately I have to be the team's Stick Doctor. I took ALL practice redoing his bottom string, and he's so :guns: ing impatient. I had to redo his sidewalls, and most of his topstring. When i had only the topstring connecting the mesh to the head, he was like,
"What the are you doing? Are you restringing it or destroying it?!"

Anyway,
1. Going to a shot speed contest and you only get one shot, and that one shot you drop it, but the top speed for U-13 was [B]51 MILES PER HOUR .
2. When you're a new DPole, and you show up to a practice field and throw it around, but you drop it alot with a U-17 game going on next to you, with all the defenders looking at you and saying, "Wtf, this guy sucks."

[Laxmatt92]

when you travel and you get refs that favor the local team
and
losing balls in the bushes in my yard, i go crazy
Exactly the same for me. At one time I had about 12 balls and now I'm down to two. We've been disqualified from a game because of refs favoring the home team. Well it was mostly our coachs' fault, but he still made a bunch of bad calls.

My other pet peeve is extra mesh on the end of your head, or "Mesh Mullets" as refered to in the latest issue of IL.

[Ghslongpole14]

High socks.
Do-rags or skull caps.
People that have messed up chin straps so their helmet sits REALLY high on their head/face.
People that get #22 to try and be the man.
Unecessary swim moves and/or ugly fakes.
Unecessary eye black, particularly all across the face.

[suburban]

When my stick is going great and i can shoot perfect then half way through the game it gets worked in and it throws like [no profanity]...any tips?

[PhatBoyzLax]

My biggest pet peeves:

1. Me being a goalie: When you take a shot right in into your face mask and your face mask gets bent so bad it is considered "no longer safe" to use (I've been through two CPRO's and two orginal Cascades)
2. When you get shooting strings that aren't long enough for a goalie head
3. Last year being lumped into that whole Duke Scandal as "All lacrosse players are elitess scum". Yes I had plenty of people give me crap b/c I played lacrosse when all that happened (Qutoed from my old boss "All you Lacrosse players are drunk hooligans and I hope those guys get the book thrown at them", another person who thought guilty until proven innocent).

[michaelfiggy69]

when my elbow pads slide down in a game...
bent heads...
kids who dont chase shots.
and kids who are afraid to get hit.
they all suck

[Sir Mackel]

getting ejected for arguing a call or complaining and my coach gets pissed off at me then goes and does the same thing i did the next game

[goalie diez]

as a goalie..

1. making a save on a kid who rips one from right on top of the crease...then letting that stupid one from 10 yards out
2. when middies dont run back onto defense
3.when anyone tries to tell me that goalie is the easiest position and that all it is is standing there and getting hit with the ball and you have huge fishnet to use
4.when baseball players tell me what i said above and that lacrosse in general isnt that hard and baseball is harder
5. when you get wicked hungry in the middle of a game...so annoying

[7or12]

i hate when your playing and the other team has the ball and every time you hit them they yell owww. When you know they are just doing it to get on your nerves. I also hate it when kids try to find an excuse for everything they do wrong and wont except that they are just bad lacrosse players.

[goalie4JESUS]

people who ask the coach if they can try goalie for a day and then complaining about getting hit, bugs the crap out of me .......
and people who wear eyeblack at night can stand that!

[LFT]

no symmetrical pockets drive me insane
and when my supercrosse elbow pads slid down my arm

[dwyer28]

when people wear their helmest like way up on thier head. like where the middle bar is up in thier face and you can see their chin. people who try to be awesome and knock out their own teamates in practice is weaksauceness..

[LacrosseNY3491]

By far my biggest PET PEEVE is how may damn balls I loose when playing wall ball. I play on a side of a one story building, so I often throw over the roof. I hear it bounce on the other side, and know roughly how it would have bounced, but no matter how hard I look, its gone. Disapears.

2)The second one is when people say lacrosse is not a real sport becuase its not in the Olympics...ah.

[playwithpride14]

Hitting the goalie in the shin

arm pads sliding around

the turf fields that give you rashes when you fall

my cup.. its so uncomftorable

newbs that can't catch your pass after screaming for it for 5 min.

When your teamamtes call you a ballhog for not getting a pass off when your triple teamed.

When people steal your water

losing lacrosse balls

When your net keeps ripping on your backyard goal.

[DtritonP]

When your running a play and than some dumbass on your team goes one on one.

A ball hog

when i want to stretch my arm but my arm pads prevent me from moving.

When your lacrosse net is left in the rain and when you shoot on it the next day, or even just pass it in the net holes form in your net

[WKlax6]

big football schools with a lacrosse team.... when all they try to do is hit people....its trashy

[UTlax31]

-When you workout before practice, then have to run miles and miles while your legs are tired or downright sore.
-When you play with a stick for 5 games and don't break it and then you let your friend borrow it and you go out and throw and he drops the stick and it breaks... yea it happened...
-When your cup slides around and pinches your cash and prices
-When your at practice your attackman is hanging his stick and right as you go to make him pay for his mistake you dislocate your kneecap AGAIN and sit out the rest of the season
-When last summer you played summer league and nobody else you know played and this summer when you can't play summer league everyone else does.
- When your cleats rip and you don't have the money to buy new ones so you have to tape the old ones up

[Eagle Middie]

When opposing players are running towards "my" goal Unchallenged and I have to catch up and do something to throw them off. I made a pact with our teams goalie/my friend that I would not let anyone score on him while I was on the field. So far I only failed twice in one season. Both times D - men missed slides/gave up. I play midfield

[Vikinglax43]

1)My biggest pet Peeve is defenders who think its awesome to lay the hardest hits to their teammates during practice

2)Kids who run funny

3) missing the goal

4)really really small kids( there should be height restriction for lacrosse)

5)people who do the same dodge over and over all season and it never works

6)or when a coach theatens to bench for the rest of the season cuz your to much a hot head(that ny be just me but I hate it)

7)kids who kick who when you lay them out.(has that ever happend to anyone else I have been kicked 3 times this year.

[vanslaxer]

I suppose I have another pet peeve:
Not ALL Newbies are bad, but it can be annoying when you see a newbie with the newest, shiniest gear that daddy bought for him because he said he wanted to play lacrosse.
This kid's got all the best stuff, and he hasn't/can't even throw(n) a pass, and you don't know if all that gear is going to rot in a garage, or end up on ebay in a week or two.
Once again, there's nothing wrong with newbies; you have to start somewhere--I just think its a little overboard to get a kid the best of the best of everything when you don't know if the kid's going to enjoy and/or commit interest to the sport...Trust me, it can be off-putting.

well said. i hate rich boys who suck. and have everything new. mix that in with a bad attitude and you have a kid on my team who everybody hates.

[LaxDoggy21]

I hate being on attack against a rly good team and watching ur team get scored oon when u never have a chance to help or touch the ball

[pole15]

This has probably been said. But the kid with the multi-colored stick, obnoxiously colored knee socks who can twirl his stick a bit and thinks he's the best player on the east coast. Ends up doing nothing for his team except running around making cuts and sloppy moves that puts him in no better position than he was before. Just get off the field kid. Though hopefully someone plows this fellow before the ten minute mark.

[ironpat]

Everyone was a newbie at some point or another so we should cut them some slack, talented or not.

I think the biggest pet peeve is a trash talker who has no skills, playing on a team of guys who actually ARE good.

Trash talk is just that: trash. At least if you're going to do it, back it up with skills.

[jaxlax1140]

since i play d mine is cocky attackmen and middies and also attackmen who try to start a conversation with me during a game

[baseballsucks]

i hate kids who run wierd and mostly the kids i am talking about are the ones who slouch and look like they have a humpback.

i hate kids who are not good at all but they think they are good because they play on a team that all of their first strings are good and win for them.

i hate temas with really fat goalies, that take up most of the goal but actually suck at goalie, but they get stops becuase the kids who cant aim hit him all the time.

i hate bad refs, and refs that like the opposing team alot better, and they call you for a crease violation, when it was most definitely not. It happened to me 3 times this year, and i have videotapes so i for sure know that i wasnt in the crease.

i hate refs who are slow, so if you are on a fast break, it takes them like 2 minutes to get down the field and they cant make good calls becuase of that.

i hate defenseman that suck at defense, but just charge you all day, and the one time he gets lucky and hits you good, he talks trash, but that is the only hit he got in the game.

i hate kids who know that they play with illegal pockets, and the ball will NOT come out of their stick, but they think they are good at stick handling when they are not.

And finally, i hate people who go absolutely crazy after they make a play (especially goalies)

[Dodge UranusOff]

1)My biggest pet Peeve is defenders who think its awesome to lay the hardest hits to their teammates during practice

2)Kids who run funny

3) missing the goal

7)kids who kick who when you lay them out.(has that ever happend to anyone else I have been kicked 3 times this year.

Happens to me a bit too much. I tried defense once, a kid was sprinting up and I decked him somewhat hard. He got up and swung his stick into my back as hard as he could and kicked my shin. Thank God his hardest was barely crap. He was a bit hot-headed, but that's a bit on the extreme side of insanity.

[InsaneGoalie55]

I hate the peecaboo move that they use here....as a goalie it drives me nuts cause the other team will surround the ball and u won't know who has it then they all scream and act as if they were shooting.....thats like not real lacrosse

[Shakerlax8]

arm pads sliding down

the shooters

stuffed in front of the net

hitting pipe

[LAX_tothe_MAX]

arm pads sliding
perfect feeds dropped
when i screw up
kids who think their intimidating, but really they are just huge douchebags
coaches who tell u do to 8 different things at once
when im on attack, and the balls right on the opposite side of the half line and i can barely reach, so i watch while some kids who sucks gets killed and the other team gets it

and thts about it

[missouri lax]

when my elbow pads slide down
when night games are played with white lacrosse balls

[lklax]

nothing is worse than seeing kids who think they are sweet because they can twirl their stick. Like that wins games and makes girls thongs drop.

[Tehb2]

-rain
-players who don't pass/look
-having to readjust my pocket when it gets beaten in w/ use. (Not broken in, but deepened)

[Lax4life528]

When sweat gets in my eyes and I cant wipe it off because my fingers wont fit through the facemask with the gloves. JMO.

[nclaxer10]

-in my school we have to share a field with baseball so they always cut into our practice and they always start things so when we do someting back we have to do extra pushups and things like that.
-i also hate those people who dont try and are horrible and hurt the team
-when i run the ball up field (i play defense) and i have a perfect chance to score and i miss

[irishlax-72690]

yea but when u get laid out doing it, then its no fun.

[LAgoalie]

deffinatley its when you string a sidewall as tight as you can make it with pliers and then you can still see the slack in them.

[adhslax4]

I agree with everything BioPro said. especialy people missing perfect feed. That drives me insane.

[D4LIFE]

when an attackmen is really really kicking ur defensmens a$$ cause the attackmen is a little quick guy and the Dman's a monster and the monster guy wont switch guys when ur like 10 times faster than he is and u could tear the little attackmen apart cause all he's good at is being quick.

[njone42]

when [as a middie] you make a really good play on defence and you get a fast break and you pass it to an attackman who can't catch and then you have to run back and play defence

[lhslaxer22]

nothing is worse than seeing kids who think they are sweet because they can twirl their stick. Like that wins games and makes girls thongs drop.

That made me lol, literally.

When you're playing attack and you're wide open for a shot and your other attackman sees you, but instead hogs the ball and and he tries to air gait it and gets laid out by the goalie.

Also when you have an itch while playing and you can't scratch it because you have gloves on :sad:

[kwaydefense]

this kid on my team has more than one $300 stick, and all he does is wait for someone to run towards him, lets them by, then swings and gets a slash every time. he also takes 10 minutes to shoot, winding up and twisting everywhere. he is my pet peeve

[bigdale9]

when someone who is realy bad has the top of the line equipment and wants the number 22 because he thinks he is the best.
i played with a kid like that last year. first year playing in sixth grade he had supercrosse sp's i think players club arm pads, good gloves. and he painted, yes painted his helmet so he could look like he was on varsity

[Emerican]

floppy shoulderpads

-When I [no profanity] Up
-Getting Stuffed by the Goalie 1-on-1
-When the rest of the guys dont move of offense
-Living in England where you cant try on equipment and it is twice as expensive in the US

[LaxLady13]

I hate Stupid refs. The refs in my league don't know a freakin' thing. I play girls lacrosse. once this girl tripped me and got the ball. I went and talked to the ref about it and told her that was a penalty on the other team. her responce was "Well That's how it is in soccer" It made me so mad!

[JohnsHopkins16]

I play attack, and I hate when I draw the double team and dump it off to a fellow attackmen who drops it right next to the crease. It really pisses me off bc I should just use my size to beat the double team. I also hate when before a game, practice, or tryout your mesh or shooters get too lose. You have to retighten them and adapt quickly. I also hate when there is a close game and a kid takes a crappy side arm shot that flys 10 yards to either side of the goal. This year a kid onmy team was a good d-middie but he just had terible stick skills and no shot.

[laxchance9871]

i hate hate hate it when u go up against short d-poles (even though i'm short too...like 5'8"ish) and all they freakin do is slash the legs. even when the refs tell them to get it on the stick.

like many have said i hate when middies do not pass it because they think that if they make the pass then it wont make them look as good.

when you're moving the ball behind the crease and looking for a pass and then no one cuts to get the ball

[CPLAX08]

when strings come loose and you dont notice right away, but your passes are telling you something is off
getting a ref that was turned down by our lady coach years ao, and holds grudges against our team. ARGHHH

[THE_1protector]

when my dog cant find any balls. its really hard when most of them are yellow and foot thick blanket of leaves on the ground are also yellow. so i really cant blame him too much.
when rents yell at the refs.
when the only lax ball in your house is old as a caveman and mad slippery.
when tennis players think they own the courts and can kick you off them.
when balls go in the pool! they dont float.
when you dont have enough string for the topstring.

[cheesehead]

my pet peeves as a pole

-the kids who can't pass, shoot, or catch but can do crazy awesome tricks:loser:
-whiners
-when i'm playing wallball random people want to play with my stick
-when middies don't even try on defense/back check and leave us out to dry
-this ginger kid on our team who has unbelievably skinny arms but can throw the ball farther than anyone
-the "armpad tan"
-when the goalie makes a bad pass on a clear and turns it over
-baseball players
-getting layed out by my own teammate on a ground ball:WTF:
-when my goalie lets the ball in on what should be an easy save and blames it on me
-factory strung pockets:banghead: :banghead:

[scarsdalelax08]

kids who wear those stocking under armor things i hate them! also knee socks some peoiple like them i hate them to me the honestly do not look good.

[pantherLax]

floppy shoulderpads

Yes..Sounds dumb, but it makes the person look bad when they have wings as shoulder pads.

[bigdale9]

pleas sir can i have some more?
sure

when i get clled for faceoff penalties when the other kid does somthing
getting cross checked
not getting put in
man downs
having to wear soccer cleats
my old helmet
tape peeling

[MaddxLax]

1.) the offseason. sure theres camps, leagues, and tournaments but its just not the season yet...
2.) snowy practices that make your hands, which are holding a piece of metal, freeze over.
3.) a perfect dodge that you finish off with a slip in the mud
4.) no cheerleaders
5.) when you have a "bad day"
6.) when cages aren't out at the high school/middle school year round
7.) missing practice for the orthodontist (braces off now, haha)
8.) bad celebrations when people score
9.) that one team mate....
10.) baseball...not cause everyone says it, just because i dont like sports that put you to sleep while watching

[esp407]

When im playin D and i block a shot but it still goes in

My personal pet peeve is defensemen who get beat and then blame me for missing an "easy save". :agree:

And idiots on my own team who think that I deserve to get purposely checked acrosse the arms because I'm not wearing arm guards. I play frickin' goalie. I hate that noob.

[toey2516]

kids who can barely shoot overhand yet somehow think its alright to shoot underhanded or sidearm.

[SliNg MaN]

-players with neon mesh
-players with mesh that aren't even close to their teams colors
-attackman that talk too much
-when people dont let me drink their water at practice
-when people attack scores behind their back
-when middies dont play d
-kids that wear high socks that dont match their team colors, other then white

[cord13]

goalies w/ anger problems
the first couple weeks of outdoor pratice staring march 1st
people who complain for being punished when they miss a lot of pratice
rolling an ankle and the people who complain when you wont run on it.
role reversal (getting busted flat by attackmen)
showoffs

[QBYattackmen15]

almost everything was said that i thought off,.....and about newbs in highschool, i agree....i know u got to start somwhere but i think people should start in middle school or younger, bc when u get yo the highschool level its more competitive and most ppl have been playing for awhile and they tend to slow things down, although somtimes u get a newb that is good

Thats why their are cuts thank the lord. :worship: Tryouts give them a chance but if they DID start too late then they are out f their. But anyway, mine areeeee. When a goalie makes stupid, field length clears. Or when the defenseman refuses to pass it to you even though you are wide open because they wnat to take it across the field themselves. Every here and their is alright but all the time? no. Incompetent is an obvious one. Or annoying Parents.

[laxnguitar402]

My biggest pet peeves in terms of lax are:
hitting the post and/or the goalies legs and feet. this happened to me about 10 times in one game last year and it pissed me off.
when D-poles decide to intentionally whack the heck out of the gaps in your pads.
Middies who don't help out on clears drive me crazy.
People with really nice stuff that absolutely suck at anything lacrosse related.
Missing the net in my backyard and looking for the ball for 20 min. in the woods and STILL not finding it.
Tape coming off my stick.
People who think lacrosse is all about doing fancy stick tricks.
My hair being too longand falling into my eyes as i play and then i cant see until the play moves away and I have to take my glove off and fix it.
Not being able to talk with a mouth guard in.
When I forget my cleats and the field is all muddy and i try to change direction and my feel just slip right out from under me completely resulting in my facemask getting embedded in the mud. not so balling.

[phillybarrage21]

the assumption that all lax players are automatically surfers

[Chewie]

I get angry when
- I drop passes I normally catch
- Other people drop passes

[K-RED54]

I dont think anyone has this pet peeve, but i hate this kids helmet on my team. Its completely crooked and he never tries to fix it and he looks like a fool. it just pisses me off.

[redstormlax19]

I get so annoyed when sucky defenders are like "omg im gunna break someones arm this game"
And
When the sun is just brutal and a pass hits you in the helemt cause you couldnt see it.

and defenders who think they are tough by staring you down...ummmmm

[<<RANGER>>]

I dont think anyone has this pet peeve, but i hate this kids helmet on my team. Its completely crooked and he never tries to fix it and he looks like a fool. it just pisses me off.

I have that also sometimes.

Another one:

When I make a save and call a clear that we have been doing for months and no one knows where to go ( I know they can because I've seen them do it, but I guess we can't remember plays from practice to practice... to practice) so I can't pass the ball and get jacked up. stupid middies.

And when the people who take me to practice sometimes show up less thsn 10mins before we start practice when i live 15-20 mins away. I can't wait till I get my own car.

[laxmiddy92]

haha mines first year players with horrible cradling or no stickwork drives me crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
checking sticks
breaking a stick you really got used to like me i broke my X2 with a wrap check

[HeadHeartHustle]

heads that are warping
Players that have no idea how to fix ANYTHING on their stick
Players that expect, since you know how to fix a sidewall, that you'll do it as soon as they ask you. ( i got other freakin things to do)

[BWickLAX10]

BALL WATCHERS!!!! I HATE PEOPLE WHO BALL WATCH!!! that is a huge pet peeve of mine. im a longpole and i hate it when another longpole will watch the man with the ball and forget about his man.

[bportlax09]

when u run all the way down the field and score a goal and ur coach yells at u for not passing it to the open man. then u pass it to him twice in a row and he misses both times

[LAXx4xLIFEx]

the worst is when ur playin D and you get a FASTBREAK and u call "MIDDIE BACK" and the middie goes over and then ther is a 30 second Technical

[themojo3]

smelly pads
bad tasting mouth guards
cheap shots
cocky kids or ego maniacs
getting drilled in the shin

[Lax Stud41]

my pet peeve is the fact that we need to wear shoulder pads

[chrisca42]

the kid who has the best equipment, and is really bad

[cubswinsoxlose]

The worst pet peeve is when your cup goes sideways and you cant fix it because theres girls watching.

[kjalax3]

as a goalie i can't stand other goalies who wear elbow pads..

also i hate attack men who slap my stick when i clamp a bouncing ball on my crease

[kjalax3]

The worst pet peeve is when your cup goes sideways and you cant fix it because theres girls watching.

that sucks too

[thefreezeRAY]

when it shouldnt be muddy but there is like one spot in the field that is so soggy and you cant cut on or the ball gets like buried

[D_Pole2010]

people who try to act all badass when theyre really just a newbie. (in a lacrosse game)

[Attackalltheway]

smelly pads
bad tasting mouth guards
cheap shots
cocky kids or ego maniacs
getting drilled in the shin

all of those+ annoying fans that dont know jack about the sport. for example i check a kids stick and he drops the ball. The parent proceeds to yelling out "come on ref that is a penalty"!

[laxer6]

I can't stand the "I can't wait to lay people out." line.

[mountieslax22]

If you are playing catch with a friend on pavement and how when they under throw the ball and it bounces up so you run towards it but then bounces at you full speed.

Getting hit by a shot and on a non padded spot like the ribs.

Loosing a ball

Ball Hogs

People who can't go off hand

And lastly Dumb refs:nono:

[mountieslax22]

yeah i hate mesh mullets

[silicon]

when lax game becomes soccer.

[jclax23]

kids who look through like the middle of the facemask and not the top. kids who think they are good and are really not. when i have to restring my sticks

[Lax4life528]

The worst pet peeve is when your cup goes sideways and you cant fix it because theres girls watching.

That used to happen to me, but then I started to tape my cup in place. At first people were like "what are you doing," but now, they're used to it.

[sick lax player]

the more you sweat in practice
the less you bleed in battle

lacrosse

[Skacrosse22]

d men who stick check your hands and below the shoulder like non stop

[lifeoflax45]

the really bad players that have really expensive equipment

[oclax155]

It bugs me so much wen a parent keeps screamin 2 their kid to get the ball. Don't you think he's TRYING to get the ball. Just shut up, you have no idea wat ur talkin about.

[muslax39]

I have a net on my goal that has so many holes. 30% of my shots on cage go through a hole. I also hate putting holes in my neighbors fence...

[Carolinalax1515]

the worst is pulling your side wall so much that your tips of fingers and nails start to kill

[mcHogan]

nice thread....
1}definitely when you miss the scoop....
2}when shooting in your back yard and it hits the crossbar and you have no idea where it lands.....
3} when you string the sidewall and then realize you skipped a hole and have to start over
4}people who TRY to cradle.....uhh the worste of them all

[number19pjj]

when my pocket gets messed up ( thats why im gettin it re strung)!!
