You know what really grinds my gears?

Ok, ok - besides the fact that you should be laughing from the family guy quote -- what annoys you to no end at a tournament?

Here are a few of my pet peeves...

- [someone is going to serve] "here we go, lets get the ball in"
Could you be anymore negative? Do you honestly think they might be trying to not get it in? Same thing goes with hitting, setting or passing... Your not fooling anyone my sarcasim - your just a bastard for acting like a smart ass... If anything I want to spite these people by nailing them with the ball... Also, don't mind snide comments like "oh there we go" or "finally"... Your not being helpful or productive, so work on your people skills and say something nice or encouraging!

- "that was MYYYY ball"...
So why didn't you call it? Seriously, I'm on this new medication that makes it so I can't read your mind... I forgot to tell you, so you'll have to take your thumb out of your mouth and tell me it's yours next time... Little whiner... I may look like a bastard diving across the court to get a ball that isn't mine - but heck, no one called it - why should I let it possibly hit the ground?

- "WIN!"
Who does this for a team chant? Are you really that boring and unoriginal? Your playing a sport, so yes be competative - but heck have some fun. You shouldn't need to win to have fun, you should be having fun while you win. Maybe I'm just short sighted, and this is how people mentally prepare themselves for a game, but don't act like every game is your superbowl. It's pretty maddening sometimes seeing people celebrate little or no achievement... Maybe it's just me, but you should just be celebrating all the time, or non-of the time. Do you really need to be a bandwagon celebratee for your own team? Cheer your damn team on all the time, boost you moral!

Just my quirks I guess, it's pretty late/early, so I doubt they make sense...

Peace
