OT Game-watching experiences

[BrianFromWA]

During the NOP game, I saw something that seemed odd to me, but I don't pretend to be the Marquis of Queensbury when it comes to Fan Experience.

After ET's nice fastbreak dime to Biggie, the TNT guys cut away to this...

the thing I thought was weird was that I can't ever remember seeing two grown men sharing a concession item. Not popcorn, nachos, hot dog, beers, etc. I barely share my popcorn with my wife when we go to the movies. And I won't with the kids.

Do you have any fan experience taboos? Is the behavior above cool if the two guys are close friends? Just two folks sitting next to each other? Popcorn ok, but not nachos? "Brian's just weird"?

I see no problem with that. Its popcorn. If it was a hotdog or something like that, then yeah I'd draw the line.

During that game I was sitting near some really drunk dudes bordering billegerent. They had some buddies behind them. They were bickering all game. Spilling beer and popcorn everywhere. I didn't care for it. Drink and have fun but not at the expense of the people around you. The guys behind were fucking with the guys next to me during the game ball delivery and tried to toss it over us, so they couldn't touch it. I nearly missed it. Caught it one handed. That pissed me off.

it would have me too.

A number years back wife and I went to key area for a Blazer game and there were a bunch of guys directly us doing the same. One of them spilled beer on my wife and his buddy was laughing and said something sarcastic, so I grabbed him, jumped over my seat and squared off with him till security came, they escorted 5 people out and gave us a voucher for 20 bucks to use at the concession.
I though when we left out the front and key has a long walk way, they may have been waiting, I was in my late 40's then and could fend for myself, didn't need too.
I am an easy going guy, but cant stand sloppy drunks or loud moth disrespectful punks.

It's free refills on a large popcorn at the Moda. I'm sharing that with everyone who wants some. I'm going to get my $14 worth!

 

[trailblazer18]

I'm cool sharing.

 

[tlongII]

As long as there is no special sauce I’m cool.

so the line on the hotdog tells you where to stop chewing?

 

[riverman]

I'm cool sharing.

As long as I have chopsticks I'm good..eating's more fun with shared dishes and just a bowl of steamed rice to yourself

They could be a newly married couple, which would explain the ring-finger injury caused when the older guy tried to remove his wedding ring after 45 years of deception.

Probably just a Dad and Son night out.

Popcorn is meant to be shared.

I really wanted to give you 2 likes for this one.

 

[ripcityboy]

You know what pisses me off at the Moda center? People who break their eggs at the large end!

WHEN WE ALL KNOW! You break your eggs at the small end!

We definately need to leave these people behind and form our own society somewhere else.

 

[riverman]

It's the old "hole in the bottom of the popcorn bag" trick....you can tell by the expression on the guy's face left holding the bag

When that happens to me, I discreetly tell an usher. They later come deal with it. It's too much money and fun to have it be ruined by some selfish jerks.
