Well if you let them know you want to use it, do they ever say no? I think they just want you to let them know.

The best way would be COMMUNICATION and I don't mean a chart! Why don't you take the role of the mature adult and shock them. Tell your partents you would like to talk to them, sit down and explain how you feel. Remember this you need to find out what their reasoning is. It could be a big reason or something small that you could work out. Remember a pool table is an expensive investment and it a new thing in the house and they still have it fresh in the heads how much they paid for it, and I bet they are thinking about something you may broken in the past. Show them you are willing to talk about it like an adult and you may just be able to get adult privlages with t it. ( Tip : No raising voices, or yelling ) YOU CAN DO IT!!!! Good Luck!!!

Your parents get to make the rules, they pay for your survival right? As unfair as it sounds, it's the truth.
Is this particular rule fair?...it's hard to answer without knowing why the rule is set. Ask your parents why they made that rule and try to understand the logic's of it. They might actually have a good reason that you haven't thought about or you may find out that you're right.
Are your parents abusive? Are they addicts? You've got me kinda worried. When you ask them about the rule, tell them that you just want to understand things better and that's why your asking because your very confused.

YES, it is FAIR of your parents to ASK that you be POLITE and request to use the Pool Table in the home at this time!
Hey, they are trying to teach you to have MANNERS (something that young people nowadays have a great lacking of), and yes, they want you to practice those manners all the time. Plus, since they WORKED Hard for the income that paid for the item -- they definitely want to know who is using it and at what times -- after all, they did this out of the goodness of their hearts!
SO ...
Just go ahead and ASK permission each time to use the pool table -- it won't hurt you to do so, and ... believe me ... it will THRILL them to no end to see you learn the politeness skills that those of previous generations used all the time -- and which the young people nowadays do NOT use!

Perhaps you might ask that they set up a schedule for your siblings and yourself. Something that says which days and times you can each be "in charge" of the table, and some times that is is up for free usage.

Is there a reason to for this rule? Have you talked to your parents? You could always sit down and tell them this(I know it's sooo hard) lol...But maybe agree on a time period each day kthat you can use it?!

Maybe this is because they want to know who was using it last in case the felt gets riped. It's expensive to repair it. This way they also know who to ask what happened to it, or how it happened. Also to be able to punish that person if it was mistreated on purpose. You wouldn't want to be punished if you didn't do it right.

Not fair but, unfortunately, they are still in charge so you don't have much of a choice. It's not like they are abusing you, so they can't get in trouble for it. Power trip.........
