gun-
Good questions.
Q: What is your reasoning for not taking it off?
A: Dont want to lose it and dont see any safety need for its removal.
Q: What would you do if an assigner told you to take it off?
A: I would take it off before I traveled to the game and find a safe place to put it to minimize risk of loss (at work or find a place in my car), but if instructed to not wear it, then I wouldnt wear it. Hopefully I could find a way to leave it at home that day.
For example, I do take it off before I go to play hoops and I leave it at home. I see a safety issue with wearing it when I play. I dont want it caught in the net (which as I get older I guess is a decreasing concern
), or on the jersey of another player.
Q: Do you take it off when you put on lotion (if you put on lotion)?
A: I dont take it off even to shower and I dont use lotion that requires its removal on a regular basis.
Q: What is your regular occupation?
A: Not one that requires me to take my ring off. I do understand there are some jobs that lead a person to take his ring of more frequently for safety issues.
I guess I am just used to leaving my ring on since I dont take it off as a regular matter. I guess if I was used to taking it off for work and things I would probably also take it off to ref as a matter of course.
