I'm walking past the dugout and hear him *****ing and complaining. So I call "Time!".
You did WHAT!?!?!?!

I call him out of the dugout in an effort to explain the call to him.
Gulp. Really? WTF!
Quote:
I take him farther down the first baseline away from other players.
Holy Effing crap are you kidding me?
Quote:
Before I can begin he's already telling me how I screwed up. I just walk away.
I would say toss him, but A) he should already be gone and B) YOU started this particular ****storm, so maybe you owe him some leeway.

In the 6th inning he comes to me and puts his arm around me
Get your Effing arm off me and hit the parking lot.

and says "I don't want to argue that call but could you explain it to me?"
No sir. That ship has sailed when I completely inappropriately tried earlier, but even so, no, I'm not going to rehash a call from several innings ago DURING a game."

So I proceed to do so.
Oh. You did, huh. Yuck.
Quote:
When I'm done he says, "But the runner must go back and touch the base once the ball is secured by the defender!".
What happened to "I don't want to argue."? I've completely inappropriately explained it to you. Now go away.

OMG, my new pet peave is idiots who want to argue a call when they don't even know the damn rule!!!!
This is a NEW pet peeve? Heck, it seems that EVERY time someone wants to argue something it is because they don't know the damned rule. Isn't it?

PS - you're a Dep UIC. You should know better. Way better.
