Eh so There's a story I've I've been wanting to get out and since I don't blog, might as well subject you all to it and bring any interest. Pretty short one so no tl;dr
Ever since I have received my drivers license I've been obligated by my dad to take my brothers to their baseball games. I have three brothers and their all in different leagues so EVERY from 3 to 6pm I have to take them to practice or games that sometimes can go on until night,so no trying to get chicks for me.
So my youngest brothers coach was holding a meeting for all the parents, since my dad was working, I stepped in his place, I look pretty older than I am so no one would really notice. keep in mind that the kids weren't supposed to show up to this meeting. As we all how up to the field before the big game that night, the coach starts to go on about how the kids haven't really been paying attention in the field and have been goofing off, and that this was the reason they losing, also keep in mind that this coach had soft voice and was around 5'4 or 5'6. This is were things started getting wild as one of the parents, a buff, loud voiced 6 foot tall guy started going off on how whenever the parents tried to correct the kids mistakes they were doing during there games, the coach would wave his hand to tell him to hush and said that they needed to say that during practice. Most of the parents at the meeting started to agree with the guy, there was some ex minor league baseball players who retired or people who used to coach little league. At this moment everyone starts to surround the coach and I thought he was probably going to cry as the majority 10 or so parents started to close in on him and say that they could take over, that they could do a better job then he was doing. Their was a assistant coach, but he was as small as the coach and didn't want any off that mess getting put on him. I just stood and stared awkwardly hopping someone would stick up for the guy, but everyone had already gotten on the bandwagon.
Fortunately No violence insued, these guys were the type to only use words and intimitdation. but a lot of the parents left pissed, including one who was letting the coach use his old equipment when he coached little league so the kids could use training nets and catcher pads. During the game later that night we were short 3 players so the other team had to volunteer some of their kids to go outfield for our team.
I guess the lesson learned here is, when your making a speech or trying to calm people down, never let someone overspeak you and take control or prepared to he fucked. I honestly wanted to see some humor in this, but from a person who witnessed it, it was pretty sad.
