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.
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.

Hmm...yeah, I've never heard of that before(your perceived perception of the rule). As far as I know, as long as you have your ball on the break line, and are not shooting backwards, it doesn't matter if you hit a ball two inches in front of the cue ball.
As for your description of the dude in your final paragraph, haha ya I know the type, typical bar trash with his head up his ass. Dictating rules to you guys, coughing during your shots like he's an old buddy, even hitting on your roommate, who for all he knows is one of your guys' girlfriends...he's actually lucky he didn't get his ass kicked, which could've very well happened if he did that to the wrong group of guys. It almost sounds like he was a little hammed.
