Dad goes to the bar to play pool with strangers. Dad has been playing pool for over ten years now and he has really honed his skills when it comes to pool. When he was in high school, he spent his free time playing pool in pool halls. He just started to play at his bar that is across the street from the restaurant. Over time, he has developed, yet, another fan club. A lot of people like to watch Dad play. Either they love him or hate him. This is where the love hate relationship comes from. A lot of the games that people play with Dad, their love or hate for him change a couple of times within the night. Every time each fan loses a game to Dad, they would say, "I HATE YOU!!!!" But if they win a game against Dad, they would say, "I LOVE YOU!!!"
I have visited the bar with Dad once a week for a few months, and I have met a few of his fans. A lot of say that "I LOVE YOUR DAD!" Well I love him too. A lot of these fans tell me stories about how much they learned from Dad. Even one guy told me that Dad is trying to help him stop drinking. That only worked for like a week or two. That dude drinks alcohol like its water and he should take Dad's advice to drink less.
Whenever I go to the bar to watch Dad play, I see a giant crowd of people circling around Dad's pool table and cheer him on. How can you tell between the haters and the fans? The haters will yell BOO every time Dad makes a shot at his table and the fans will cheer their lungs out when Dad makes a shot and or is beating the crap out of a dirtbag who doesn't belong in the bar because he is causing a scene for no reason.
Message to Dad: The bar is still not safe, bring Kevin as your bodyguard.
