"my time"
"[I]MY TIME"[I]
 WTF is MY time? Is that as opposed to YOUR time?  (Sorry it just annoys me.......) Happened Thursday evening.... at first I was going to cut the guy some slack...... but then I noticed he called MY time EVERYtime. Even when a coach or player asked for time. Then I got another partner this weekend who used the same expression...... I know, no big deal, but it annoys me....

My question to those using that phrase would be: "overcompensate much?"

All "times" are mine.
 But I guess it distinguishes who requested the time out if for umpiring purposes.

"My time" is not annoying to me because to me it means that the umpire is calling time without the request from either the offense or the defense. I am not saying that I call it that way, but it is reasonable to eliminate the need to explain which team is being charged a conference. I'd file it under preventive umpiring. Is it necessary? No.

But only when it happens on MY field. (edited to add): In the interest of full disclosure, I'll bet I've used that phrase before (probably in response to some coach who was arguing that all the other umpires let him sit on a bucket on the field), but it annoys me even when I do it!. I think I've kicked the habit, but sometimes my evil twin takes over. Last edited by HugoTafurst; Tue Mar 15, 2011 at 06:11am. Reason: full disclosure
