There are a couple more options dealing with parents.

Totally ignore them. Act as though you don't even hear them. Or, at most, give them a quizzical "What's that you're saying?" look.

Give them your real name. What's the big deal? Around here everybody just about knows everybody anyway, especially at the jr. high level.

"You are gonna report me? Seriously? Good luck with that."

Well they don't around here. Most coaches don't even know my name unless they just looked it up on Arbiter before a game.

Not the case around here. Half the time they think you are someone else. And the big deal is I am not giving some random person my name and you are nobody in the pecking order.

Peace

How big (or small) of a community do you work in? :confused:
