I was invited by a customer to go to the Dodger game yesterday ... I don't drink soda, so I took my Yeti Rambler 30 with me so I could fill it with ice & water at the stadium.

Long story short, left the game .. just as I left the stadium, i remembered I left the cup under my seat. I turned around to go get it and the security guard asked for my ticket. I explained to him what happened and told him that I think i crumbled it up and it's probably under my seat or something.

His response 'sorry' ... no re-admittance without the ticket. I told him 'you just saw me walk out'! .. 'sorry' he said.

I asked for a supervisor, he said he was the supervisor ... I was beyond angry, the guy wouldn't listen. I wanted to really get into it with him, but because of time constraints I couldn't.

Sucks - I just hope it goes to a new home.

    Dodgers suck too.

    That's a shame, just because of the price. Likely would have been gone by the time you got back anyway. Get thee to a Walmart and replace it for <$10. Same cup.

    Only time I ever made it to Chavez Ravine, Lasorda was the manager. :) Been a while.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Did he ask if you could remember exactly what seat you were in? Azz.

    I stepped over the "Red Line" on exiting the airport and realized I left my iPad on the plane.  Turned around and the TSA/ Austin Cop said the same thing- sorry you crossed the line.  Luckily I went to baggage claim and I got it back.

    I'm sure the security guy is enjoying it. For the record I have a low threshold for that type of stupidity. The flipping game is over and he still acts like he is guarding Ft. Knox.

    It's like having the cool jacket in 6th grade.  Once it hits Walmart shelves it's no longer cool, like Starter jackets.

    Is it wrong to still want a Starter jacket? I never got one and still want one. For all the stupid trends that come back when is the Starter and the white college Game hats going to come back in style? Count me in next round! =)

    Not at all buddy.  I still have THE starter jacket from 1992.  Chicago Bulls starter jacket.  My mom shelled out about $130 on that thing.  About 10 years later Wally World got them for $35.

    Haha no. He hates working Vikings games. He says there is nothing worse than babysitting a bunch of drunk old men at the games.
