Date Gone Wrong


Mom's treat - 1987

Bryan's treat - 2008

Bryan received Bulls tickets for Christmas from Andy and Michelle (Thanks, Guys) and invited me to go with him because I AM the biggest bulls fan he knows.
Friday night we started out from Elgin and got there before 7:00 before the doors open. We found our seats got hot dogs and beers and watched the warm ups. The starting line up show was better than I remembered. Having a really, really good time. Then 4 idiots sit down right behind us. I 'd say they were barely drinking age. Everything was down hill from there. These kids were vulgar, loud, nonstop yelling. With 2:16 on the clock and the Bulls up by 10 Bryan had had enough. His temper (the one he usually has hidden and rarely comes out) flared up which led to a verbal confrontation. I stood up and said "If you won't do it for him and least do it for me, his mother".
They said some nasty stuff and Bryan decided we needed to leave at half time. He was afraid that HE would do something and I was afraid that THEY would. We left and on our way out I'm like No way - someone needs to know this. So I flagged down an usher (who did offer to move us to a safer location - we declined) and told her the story. She took us to security and we filled out a complaint. Now I'm really pissed and told her to get security there but let us leave first. She escorted us out and hopefully these idiots were taken care of.
We went back to Bryan's watched the rest of the game, drank some beers, and Bryan, Mary and I played Scene It on TV. I ended up spending the night and had a good time after all.

Next time we will make sure that the tickets don't come with a-holes behind them! Glad that you had a good night though. Sounds fun.

I would have gotten an usher and waved to them as they were escorted out. By you leaving you let them win. At least at halftime the Bulls were winning. At least you didn't take the verbal abuse and watch the Bulls blow the game. That would have sucked. What a nice, thoughtful gift you received. Must be nice.
