do Not Interrupt Someone Else's Conversation With Your Bullshit

Last night a group of friends and I went to a small town, rookie league baseball game. It was fantastic. There was singing and beer drinking and chatting with people around us. There was an old man who yelled at us along the third base line every time a left handed batter got up because we could be killed by a foul ball. He was vindicated when an old woman got beaned by the ball and had to be walked out by security. There was Oggie the Raptor who danced and raced little children.

This was so much fun.

And it was so much fun, except for the men sitting in front of us. Here's the story. At one point our new friends went to buy beer and all of my group of friends except for a girlfriend and myself went to smoke. So there we were, my girlfriend and I, chatting about our new friends. Oh by the way, they were gay and one of them was in the military. I say how cool he's in the military. This big, beefy guy turns around and says "Let's hope not." My girlfriend gives him what for, as he deserved, and I wus out, as I generally do. I say, we are not having this conversation and looked sternly at the large man. He then turned around and he and his two beefy friends didn't smile or have fun the rest of the night.

So, what is my point? Why do you (nasty beefy man) wait until two women are sitting alone before you turn around and say something nasty? Were you afraid of all the men who were around us for the other parts of the game?...very brave. Why do you feel the need to eavesdrop and then turn around and say something nasty? We were not talking to you, we were not talking loudly, we were not obnoxious, we were sitting two bleachers behind you having a quiet private conversation.

Rule: if you are a jerk (insert all sorts of swear words here) who is pissed because your penis is small, do not go to baseball games. Clearly you cannot handle people having fun around you, so don't oppress the rest of us with your inadequacies.
