In a bowling alley, what happen when you accidentally throw your ball at someone’s else lane particularly in USA?

1. The person whose lane you just entered might be annoyed if they’re playing a serious game. But I’d think most of the time they’d laugh (both with and at you) then move on.

2. go out to the parking lot, pistol duel at 12 paces. No exceptions.

3. They’d probably try to figure out how you got that wrong, and then just carry on

4. Something will probably happen, but maybe not tho 🤔

5. Can we get a rule about flooding the sub with silly questions and never participating in any kind of actual dialogue?

   This poster has asked DOZENS of these questions the last few days.

6. It happens with children a lot. It usually just gets laughed off.

7. Having worked in a bowling alley in my youth, I can tell you without exception, everyone laughs and we reset the pins if necessary

8. You get kicked out because either you are that clumsy and will break something, or you “accidentally” did it. At least you sure as hell did in the one my grandfather owned.

9. You start throwing hands and insulting each others mother

10. You go to jail for life. We have zero tolerance for bowling-ball-throwing here in the USA.

11. I did this once (on purpose) and got a strike. We all laughed, but we also were all hanging out together and goofing around anyway.
