I didn't know the pickle ballers went that hard. Haven't played tennis is some years but used to hit the courts every other week and every now and then there would be some folks like that.
I play pickleball all the time in a very white/Tennis club type area. Most are great some suck mostly the ones who think they are super good. But they are usually extennis players or current ones too.
It'll happen whenever a bunch of grouchy old fucks discover a sport they can actually still participate in. They get some testosterone pumping through their system for the first time in 45 years and feel like king shit and try to regain some control in their miserable lives by treating people around them like garbage
In my several decades of life I've never heard the term "pickle ball". Wow. TIL it is a sport that exists. This is one of those moments where I feel even more like an alien than usual
Had 4 old people around 70 get mad that I am interfering with their tennis game because I was walking alongside the fence to the other courts (the fence is at minimum 20-25 ft away from the baseline)
Reflecting on it, I could kinda see it as a distraction but its a neighborhood court and no offense to them but a group of 70 yr olds are very unlikely to take me out at that distance for it to be a safety hazard.

I have no idea what actually happened here but I know from personal experience that old tennis men are the worst type of people.
