As bike parking gigs go, the ball games aren't bad. On the one hand, the money's good thanks to tips. On the other, you have to put up with ball fans. They're not a bad lot, by and large, but it annoys me that they simply assume that by virtue of my being there I'm one of them. The following conversation is all too common:

"Can you see the game in there?"
"No."
"Do you even have a TV or anything?"
"No, but I do have free wifi and a lovely view of the sailboats on the Bay."
"Dude, they should give you a big-screen TV in there."
"Yeah, they totally should! Then I could sit here and watch Dr. Who!"

By biggest pet peeve, though, is perfectly exemplified here:

You've hit on my biggest sports pet peeve, when sports people start talking about how "we" won the game. No, you sat at a bar or in front of the television or in your seat watching your TEAM win the game.

Now, if I had a gambling problem and had a good chunk of next month's income riding on the game, I could understand I'd be highly emotionally and otherwise invested. Other than that, not so much.

This was even more hilarious since Lost Arc was on cable last night. I wasn't too familiar with the movie before, but I knew exactly what he was talking about when he started off on that.

Yeah, i mean really, how dare you be among sport people and NOT want to take part in there games. You can be so inconsiderate sometimes dude. ;) hehe, Seriously though I hate it when someone does that same thing to me about whatever sport they are rabid about. :)
