Someone commented that they played in a league where the umps could do just that, making an “encroachment” call.

I wonder now if their rule is partly BECAUSE they are next to Douchbag Square and they don’t want drunk bros trying to use their bathrooms after the clubs close, because the hotel is then the only thing sort of “open” around there once 2am hits. It wouldn’t surprise me of they get bathroom requests every weekend, but…
Oh wow! I had not heard that. I guess we had our own team rule :)
In the outfield it might be any ball hit other than a hard liner, and in the infield the other teams would have the whichever two infielders were men (often short and first, though we had an AWESOME girl play first so we would run men at short and second or short and third) take pop ups away from the women in the…
It’s not that cut and dried, as batted balls can go anywhere. I mean if the ball is between left and left-center but the woman in left center calls it, then the guy in left backs off. I have seen other teams where they never let the female outfielders TOUCH the ball unless it is hit to far right. The guys (who are…
Every coed league I ever played was alternating batting, and if you walked a guy then he got SECOND and the girl behind him got FIRST, and you’re pitching to another guy. Needless to say, no one wanted to walk a guy :) Two walks in a row and the bases are loaded AND a run has scored! And there is another guy at bat!
Ha! That’s the opposite of the spirit of ultimate, though I DID get punched in the head after playing in an inter-ward Mormon basketball game. I’m not even Mormon, though maybe that’s why I got punched.
Having played coed softball for quite a few years, it was all too common for men on other teams to take plays away from the women on their team. Our team captain had a rule however, that if you make a play on a ball that is not yours (like running over from left field to catch a ball that was going to the woman in…
So then where do you draw the line with the NEXT drunk who wants to use the restroom after hours? Honest question. Do you only let them in if they act like an asshole?
And I’m saying you apparently have ZERO understanding of why they didn’t.
And their view is likely that if they do this for one, then they must do it for all, and then their hotel becomes a public toilet for all drunks too stupid to use the bathroom at the club they were just at NEXT DOOR. If they let this guy in just because he was “persistent” (or an asshole), how do they justify NOT…
And I think that private businesses have the right to have their own rules for their own property, especially during non-public hours. These two ideals conflict, and you side with someone getting to have the rules changed just for them; I don’t.
This goes in circles: apparently they have a policy against letting non-guests in the hotel after hours. It only escalated because the drunk asshole in question decided to ignore that, tried to sneak in another way, then got physical when he was caught again. Apparently the concept of “I can’t just do whatever I want…
YES THIS! Take the jelly part out of the tomatoes as well! #soggybun
It would have been BEST had the asshole understood that he can’t just do whatever he wants to do contrary to the rules of private businesses. As for “better”, I like this outcome, and it doesn’t create a precedent turning hotel staff into bathroom babysitters for drunks.
Yes, I would say that using hotel security to handle an intoxicated entitled asshole who thinks he can make his own rules contrary to the policies of a private business and who became combative was a good use of hotel resources. The alternative is becoming bathroom escorts for random people who are not hotel guests who…
I love this; now the hotel should use its resources for escorted bathroom trips for intoxicated non-guests during non-public hours.
I never asked for any security guard to violate any company policy.
This guy has shown himself to be a shithead on multiple occasions, but have most people hear read “the n-word” story? I was surprised to find that it was nothing like the headlines I read. Thoughts?
The answer is, no, of course not, and I never said anything to indicate I thought they should allow a non-guest for “WHATEVER reason.”
