    No it's not. Show me where I said I go out of my way to make other people miss the game.

  2. All you needed to say was, "Of course I'll wait if I can."

    That's good enough for me.

    And I will. But if I can't wait....sorry.

    Maybe I should refrain from drinking anything before or during a game. Maybe that'll help. Ugh.

    Bullshit.
    I'll get up out of my seat any damn time I feel like it.
    Last I heard we had freedoms in this country. It's bad enough the Yankees pull their jingoistic shit with God Bless America -- especially when the fat, big-eared Irish idiot does the 9-minute version -- but to tell anyone they can't leave their seat at anytime in a ballpark or arena is total bullshit.

    And? What's your point?

    Edit: I still NEVER said I'll go out of my way to block someone's view of the game while I get up to piss. Never. Of course I wouldn't do that....unless the guy next to me is a douche. Then, I might.

    Well of course if you truly can't wait, don't hurt yourself or anything.

    But at *most* you are looking at 10 minutes without a break at most major sporting events. If go from having to go to medical emergency without a break, feel free, but otherwise there were opportunities.

    I guess some people really love America.

    Then you are OK with a person getting up in front of you when there are two outs and two strikes on David Wright?

    OK, side tangent: Why can't I get up and walk, but the peanut seller/beer tosser gets to stroll up and down, STANDING ON THE STAIRS for minutes while selling.

    But that's part of the game?

    Rick, I'm looking at you.

    Would you rather that guy piss on your leg?

    I think they kneel down. Not 100 percent sure on that, but I think they will drop down if it is a key point in the game.
