Idiot dad

[RingEmUp22]

I had the pleasure of working with our Associations lone female member yesterday, and felt honored to do so. We've worked together before, it just seemed a little more special since it was Mother's Day.  She had the choice of which plates she wanted; the first 3, of course.

In the 2nd or 3rd game, she had a coach, and his 2 assistants complaining about a batter being out of the box and making contact, well actually knocking the cover off the ball. There hadn't been a defined batter's box since the 1st inning of game one. They complained every time that kid got a hit, when they started in again on his 2nd AB, I started walking up to assist her, she seen me coming and just gave me a look that said "stay where you are, I can handle these jerks", and she did. By the end of the game, I'm positive they were asking each other "why didn't we just keep our mouths shut?" 

When our day was finished and we were walking to the parking lot, she had more than a couple people telling her what a great job she did handling those coaches. 

@Umpirechick1, you keep calling strikes and outs, and know that when you need us, your brothers will always have your back!

Thankfully, my reputation says otherwise. He's just lucky he got to walk away instead of being carried away in the back of a police car. 

It only takes one time for that to change.

Aside: all these threads with the same title — idiot dad, dumb dad, stupid-ass dad — they're confusing me.

I agree that decorum and keeping your mouth shut on the field is the right way to go.

However, at the car, I'm not going to simply stand there and take it.  If the parent doesn't like what I have to say to them at that point, perhaps they should've thought better than to come over to my vehicle and initiate a conversation.

Him: "That last call was horrible."

Me: "Who gives a f&%$ what you think, anyway?"

I'm the same way.

Gentlemanly on the field, but once you've gone out of your way to hunt me down and invade my personal space...you're gonna get whatever ya get and "politeness" is out the window!
