A couple of years ago, I filled in and worked a doubleheader because of a last minute illness to one of our JV guys and had a motormouth on the front row tell me toward the end of the JV game: "You'll never be a varsity official." Laughed and said, "You're probably right." Came back out to do the varsity a few minutes later and said, "I just got promoted. Sorry." Motormouth's facial expression...priceless.

Moral of the story? Don't sweat the idiots. Do what's comfortable to you. Ignore him, say thank you sarcastically, or come up with something witty. Nothing will ever change those clowns anyway.
