OOT weekly thread: minor things that infuriate you

[tuq]

Oh yeah, here's one. I'm watching the home run derby tonight and I see all these mad scrambles for home run balls. I've always considered that sort of behavior unacceptably uncouth. I mean, if the ball is hit and falls under the guy next to me, I'm not gonna knock into him and try to beat him to something that's clearly within his domain. It's not just all-star game balls either, I see this during spring training. Ridiculous.

The golf gallery equivalent of this is when a pro skanks it into the crowd and people run like spazzes to try to claim "dibs" on a good position by the ball. It's stupid to be a 40-year-old beer-gutted man lumbering over to a stray shot with all your energy just to maybe be in the second or third row of a shot by some random pro.
