Let's Be Clear

Tonight's Blues game, of course, ended with another confrontation with Upchuck.  I want to take this opportunity to make it very clear that I don't hate Upchuck because he's a Blues fan.  That explains why he is such a massive asshole, and it doesn't help his case any, but I hated him long before I knew he was a Blues fan.  I hated him because he's an obnoxious, rude asshole and an inconsiderate hockey fan.

Through the first two periods Upchuck was actually on his best behavior to date.  He stayed seated and cheered appropriately when his team scored.  He kept facing forward and didn't once talk to his imaginary friends in other sections.  He did not make eye contact with me.  After the Blues scored their 3rd goal late in the game--which was questionable anyway because it seemed to be a clear case of goaltender interference--he got cocky.  Every shot was a potential goal.  He stood up for EVERY SHOT.  When you are on the first row that's beyond rude.  I finally yelled for him to sit down and he turned around and laughed at me.  Laughed at me.  Wrong answer dude.  I flipped him off and mouthed something not-so-nice.  He got a big kick out of that, as did his obnoxious friends on the first row.  I'd like to point out that Upchuck came to the game alone because he has no real friends. 

I was already sick of his stupid behavior long before he ever showed up in his Upchuck jersey.  There's no reason to be so loud, be all up in people's shit, and to stand during the majority of the game.  If he wants to trade seats with me and sit on the back row he can stand all night.  But when he's in front of me, in my way, he needs to keep his fat ass in his seat.  Period.  He attempted to approach me after the game and I turned my head and walked away, pretending I didn't see him at all.  I wasn't in the mood.  But I'd love it if one of these nights he does say something to me because I'm dying to put him in his place.  He thinks I'm mad at him for being a Blues fan, and that's only part of the story.  I'm mad at him because he disturbs my enjoyment of the game on a fairly regular basis, regardless of who we're playing.  I need our section-mates to join my cause.  We've already run out two other assholes in the past...I'm ready to make it three.
