  1. People who read instead of watching the game (my sister at the one Kitchener game she's ever gone to)

    When your the only fan sitting in the midst of the other teams famalies and scratched players (rounds three and four of the ohl playoffs--Belleville fans are loud!)

    You stand in line for tickets to the Mem Cup final for five hours, only to be told you have to take un-reserved standing room, and when you get up to the top you realize that the recent renovations leave un-reserved standing room as a six foot long area with a big support beam in the middle.  

    Spokane winning the Cup and then breaking it.

    price of food and drinks

    Get to your seat to find somebody sitting there.

    Sitting behind somebody that keeps farting or somebody that just stinks in general.

    Having to tinkle really bad, and then having to waiting in line, and you KNOW that when you get a stall... the toilet is going to be freaking nasty, and you have to hover over the seat, and open the stall door with the bottom of you shirt, and flush with your foot, because you are crazy OCD sometimes.

    Sitting next to people that talk really LOUD and have NO f'ing idea about hockey.  

    I almost forgot puckbunnies.

    10. umm... when my team loses. that is a pet peev too

  9. i completely agree with your number five

  10. -The usher asking to see my ticket when she's asked me two other times tonight, and I'm carrying two beers.

    -People sitting in my seats because the usher is too busy trying to mack on some puck bunny and the backward ball cap punks file in and then become indignant when I show them my tickets.

    -Visiting fans who ***** about our ticket prices.  Then stay the f*** home.

    -People talking on their mobile phone trying to get on camera (personally, I would advocate capital punishment for this).  

    -The twice-a-game embarrassment of seeing the platnium seats empty at the start of the period while the prawn sandwich brigade stuffs their maws with merlot and puff pastry only to scurry in like rats at the first whistle.

    -When food that is supposed to be hot is cold.  For a tenner you'd think I could enjoy a slice of PizzaPizza that isn't lukewarm.  Or not.

    -The abomination of watching people try to pour beer (usually wasting way too much) at the vending stations.  

    -Watching ol' Drunky McDrunk have the "no...really...I'm good to drive" discussion with his otherwise sober friends.  

    -On away trips...wearing my team's sweater and people asking me "are you a Leafs fan?"  It makes my brain hurt.

  11. 1) i don't usually eat during sporting events, unless it baseball - cause i find it terribly boring and need something to do (like eating lol).... butttttt, if i stand in line for 20 minutes to get nachos, i hate it when my friends think it's okay for them to eat more than what they should..

    2) parents who are trying to explain to their young kids about what is going on during the game. stay at home and teach your kids the rules of the game before you bring them to a live one so the people around you don't have to listen! i mean, the older people already know the rules, they shouldn't have to listen to the parent.

    3) people who have no clue what is going on.

    4) drunken people. why spend all that money for the tickets, parking, food, drinks and apparal if you're just going to get wasted and not remember who won the game?

    5) people who leave before the hockey game in the 2nd period because their team is losing by a lot of points.. if i pay for tickets, i'm going to stick around to watch my team win or lose..

  14. 1. When your team gets downright whipped

    2. Hecklers

    3. long concession lines

    4. long bathroom lines

    5. traffic when leaving

    6. When you buy a bottle of coke or water and they remove the cap and toss it away so you can't reseal it.  Kinda defeats the purpose.

    7. concession prices

    8. ticket prices

    9. scalpers trying to sell you tickets that you already have
