Overheard at the ball game

[AMandM]

Went to a MLB game last night; DH was given free tickets in a much more expensive section than we would ever buy for ourselves. There were noticeably more people around us with season ticket IDs and team club member passes than when we sit in the cheap seats, so I figured we're in a zone of high earners and high spenders.

But a couple of rows behind us, I hear a guy loudly talking about someone, maybe his son or someone else younger than himself. "He's making about 200k now, and he has the chance to switch dealerships. He'd be the closer there, so he'd probably make 3 or 4, but he'd have all the crazy late hours. I told him, 200k is plenty, you don't need to mess up your family and your life like that."

Wow! I'm assuming that individual was talking about a car dealership? I should have gotten into the car dealership business. haha.

Or planes/boats, more likely.

I have a friend that owns a tractor/farm equipment dealership. He makes a lot of money...and has fancy box seats to area sports games.

Was at a game, and pop up went into the stands, clocked a guy on top of his head.

I OVERHEARD myself saying "what the fuck? No one tried to catch it?"

Then I OVERHEARD my 9 year old say "I can say fuck the rest of the day," which is our rule with curse words.

She really cleaned up on the way home.

LOL, this just made my day!

Soldier field. Obese guy and his moderately hotter GF/wife. Big Pounder leaves, comes back from the concession stand with about 14,000 calories of meat, alcohol, and fried substances. Apparently, he'd left his phone with his wife/GF, who had used the opportunity to peruse his recent texts. Some unpleasant discoveries were made, and Big Pounder arrives back at his seat to some serious questions of philandery. BP is not ready for this - he's juggling a lot of food and fending off accusations, doing that thing where you're caught in a lie and buying time by repeating every question they're asking. It does not go well. In an attempt to obfuscate the issue at hand, BP utters one of the best inadvertent lines I've ever heard: "Baby, I can partially explain everything!"

His partner is not placated by this assurance. She informs everyone within earshot that she will no longer engage in sexual congress with this gentleman (something about planes landing in certain hangers, but not others), then holds his phone up and tomahawks it toward the field, striking one of the support people on the sidelines. Then she storms off. Big Pounder crumples into his seat, using the now-empty spot next to him to store his food as he eats every single morsel of food he'd purchased, alternating between chewing and weeping.

There is a movie here.

Statement backup:
 I took a course in college "The Movies", taught by Nancy Culp, Miss Hathaway on the Beverly Hillbillies.

A side story, the support person on the sideline who was hit by the phone, picks it up and sees similarities to themselves.

@nippycrisp, thank you for this. Food is such an addiction for him to have stayed to eat.

@markbike528CBX, or the phone had a sliver of metal that cut he guy's skin, and he became a super thrower, and began playing outfield where he was getting people out at home from the center field fence. Turns out, though, greatness was always within him.

Or, he sells the phone for $40, takes that money to put gas in his car that he uses for an interview that leads to him getting married and having babies, meanwhile the phone is so riddled with whore-ladies and pornography that it ruins the life of the 11-year-old who received it for a birthday present.

Or, the support staff member flips out because it's the LAST TIME someone throws something at him, and just starts tossing punches. He knocks out 4 old ladies, but breaks his hand in the process, and becomes a meme in his 7 seconds of fame.

Hearing her say fuck the rest of the day, I didn't think it was so funny, but reading it now, it's really hilarious.

Soldier Field is a football field (da Bears). Otherwise I like your ideas
