I went to a soccer game last month (Toronto FC). A person I know (sort of a friend I guess) has season tickets and sold me one. I get to the stadium and meet up with my buddy who automatically takes me to his section.
Now before going into more detail, I'd like to state for the record that this guy isn't exactly the most "normal/balanced" guy around, let's just say he's a bit "special".
I start following him through the stands/levels and I hear a constant beating drum somewhere in the distance. As we keep walking I notice that this "drum beat" is getting louder and louder, we seem to be heading right for it. Suprise suprise, our seat is right next to the guy with the massive GIANT drum lol. I was like, that's kinda cool, but after 1 minute of constant beating my opinion changed
The game started and instantly I noticed that our section wasn't a normal section at all. It was the main section where everything to do with noise/chants/singing/waves/dancing originated from. I was out of place pretty fast, as I'm the type of guy that likes to sit down, relax, and actually watch the game. These guys weren't even watching the game. The whole stadium is chilling watching the game, while the 200-300 people in my section are all standing up doing their thing.
The drum never stopped, the chants and songs kept coming one after the other. After each one died down I was like "holy shit please God let that be the last one, oh God I hope they take a break or some shit". Haha yea right
My buddy was probably one of the most crazy people there, literally jumping up and down on the plastic chairs, breaking his (it snapped out from it's metal hinges) in a matter of 5 minutes. Maybe this would be cool if we were like 12 years old, but we're almost 25.
After like 10 minutes there, I had enough. I said to my buddy I'm gonna go use the washroom and just walked out after that. Once outside I gave my ticket to some random kid (probably made his day) and went to have some beers at the bar.
I actually saw the movie "I love you man" and it was almost like the soccer fan "Elmo" except 100 times worse lol.
So what do you guys think is a good excuse? I'm gonna be running into "buddy" in a few weeks and need something creative.
