I used to umpire little elementary school kids (the youngest even played t-ball). For the most part, everyone was just there to have fun and the coaches/parents understood that. Every once in a while some ****wad would take it entirely too seriously and freak out on me. One time, the ball landed right behind the first baseman and he couldn't for the life of him find it. He was getting really embarrassed. They got 2 runs on him with a third coming up shortly...there was no chance they weren't getting that third run so I just told the kid to look behind him. The coach flipped a **** on me, saying that's cheating blah blah...it got so bad I had to threaten to kick him off the field.

Then I moved on to eighth graders where there was a real chance some of those kids could play varsity the next year. Oh man, that's when I stopped umpiring.

He should be embarrassed, he ****ing sucks.

Why the hostility? I'm betting this happened to you as a kid, didn't it?

Never played. I just like making children feel bad about themselves.

^True. He hurts my feelings all the time. :(

OT: I enjoy all kinds of humor. Some humor I don't like are things that are blatantly racist/sexist whatever and just disguised as jokes so people can get away with insults. Also, although I am a gigantic nerd and long time gamer I find most of the humor within the community to be stupid and childlike. Especially, when I see it in real life.

No thanks. I'll just wait in line.

Sign on the front of that store says San Francisco, but idk. It's a random google pic.
