There's one guy who is really annoying in an area I used to live in (I don't know if he's there anymore). He always used to ask our names -- I'd give him the names of two of the more obscure MLB umpires. He'd always write the names down diligently, too.

A partner once had our 4-man crew announced as Bruce Froemming, Tim McClelland, Joe Brinkman, and Dale Scott.
