What can be annoying is when people completely discount table tennis because they've never actually seen it. I get a lot of smirks from new friends when they find out that I play and spend money on nice equipment, etc.
Most of the time it's good natured ribbing though, which is fine. I admit, it's a dorky sport.

Hey, anything that is an olympic sport is not dorky. Then again, (and this is true) "tug of war" used to be an olympic sport.
