I probably would've been internally rolling my eyes when you thought your kiss counted, and when you thought you could shoot it backwards, but I would've played along, seeing as its just you and your buddies and I joined in. This guy sounds like he was being a dousche. You dont join a group and proceed to dictate the rules.

Yeah it was my roommate and friend. Bar was basically empty, one other pool table was going unused.
Again I know I didn't explain it too well, but I didn't, nor did he try to shoot the ball backwards after the scratch (#2). I don't know where I got it in my head, but I always played that not only do you have to shoot forward, but you also have to have the cue ball pass a certain spot on the table before it makes contact with one of your balls (that spot being the line where the triangle starts on a break).
This guy placed the cue ball on the line and tapped in an easy shot into the side pocket. I didn't know you could do that.
Now I am curious as to how I came to believe that this was a rule (I have played this way without having to say anything to others many times before).
I agree on the ######bag comment though. I guess that is half of why his ruling calling bugged me so much. It was just the 3 of us having fun. None of us are that good (including him). For one thing on our 2nd game at the end he would pretent to fake cough as a joke to mess us up. I just rolled my eyes (my friends aswell). We did get some laughs out of this guy though. From the way he seemed to prance to the bathroom/bar, to the blatantly and extremely lame way he was hitting on my roommate right from the get go.
