Believe it not, there is a contingent of officials, (including Baseball), that actually believe that everyone came to watch them officiate.
I was doing a game once and gave a casual out at first base for a relatively close play and sure enough Mr. Bigmouth in the stands yells "You made that play look a lot easier than it was Blue,"
From having done this team a few times I knew Mr Bigmouth was being critical so I said "Thank you sir".
I agree, What's the BFD.
