Just a collection of about 20 good ones and 100 dumb ones.

Just spent 10 minutes reading some of these, and if I wasn't a fellow official I wouldn't believe some of these...however because we've all had our own I know that these are true!

 

People do suck...

I like the 15-year old hockey ref doing a game solo and checking with his partner by talking to himself across the ice for a minute. "He didn't see it either."

"As my dad always said about baseball when I was growing up, "Little League builds character in the kids and reveals the lack thereof in their parents."

I saw that one and thought bumper sticker. I had to t up a couple of coaches in a basketball game after they got into it and told them they had better set the example or I would make them the example. They actually settled down after that.

Had two coaches from the same team get into it, yelling at each other. One in the first base coaches box and one on the bench. This was at a USSSA tournament at Field of Dreams in Palm Springs, CA a couple years ago. Both had to be removed from the field.
