blueump: I'm always interested in horror stories for volunteer umps. Care to elaborate?

(Full Disclosure: I help organize an entire league with volunteer umps, and I myself have never worked a paid game. I'm open minded, but I'm really looking to eliminate problems in my current system, not to convert to a fee-based system.)
