Curious as to your response

[bkdow]

We were working a high school "B" level football game and one of the parents (clearly upset at some thing) waiting for us while exiting the field and wanted to know our names. What is your response?

Also, would your response be different when you look at her smart phone and notice that she has a facebook post started?

Funny... I'm always Red Cashion whenever someone who doesn't need to know asks me.

(Edit to add: Don't EVER engage a parent after a game. There is absolutely no good that can come from it... and bad can definitely come from it.)

Zuck.

I would just state in a louder than normal voice "security" and walk past her.

"Your team played great. Have a safe trip home."

Repeat as needed.

Once, after an AAU basketball game, I had a mom ask for our names. We told her to go through the site director.

In this case, I'd tell her to contact the athletic director with any complaints.

If I was feeling snarky, is be Ed Hochuli.

"Sir/Ma'am, that's a question your AD (or whoever is applicable) can answer."

[Welpe]

I'd go with Bruce Froemming to really mess with her.

[BktBallRef]

"Ma'am, if there's an issue, your A.D. knows our names."

or

"Have a nice evening."

or

"Lady, do the letters F-O mean anything to you?"

All of them work.

Keep walking. Do NOT respond. You owe no one there an explanation or instructions.

While I wouldn't, if you do want to be a smart *** about it, respond as follows:

Sure, I'll give you my name. As soon as you give me your name, social security number, bank account number, credit card number, debit card numbers with pin, date of birth, address, and about 2 dozen other pieces of info.

You've been hanging out with Padgett too long.

I would simply say "NO" and simply keep walking.

If that woman was 6 rows deep in the stands and yelled that question to you in the first quarter, would you have responded?

Don't engage 'em.
