    Default Hell @ Work: The Day After Games

    I'm so sick and tired of coming back to work after games, where I'm pretty much the only die-hard Toronto FC supporter and everyone knows it, and everyone comes into my office to laugh or make some kind of fucking bs comment.

    Insult to injury. I'm all polite and try to have a laugh about it, but honestly just let me get on with my work day and gtfo.

    Anyone else have to deal with this shit and starting to get reeeeally tired of it?

    I called in sick. Apparently eating pizza off the floor makes your stomach sick.

    I've converted my co-workers.

    Then again, I locked the doors to my office and had the France games on the TV during the Euro.

    My co-workers know not to push me when I'm really disappointed.

    This is much worse than coming in to work with a massive hangover

    At least if you live in and around Toronto.

    It's like being a RPB waiting for the train and people who recognize the scarf point at you and whisper to their friends that you're one of those crazy guys.

    I feel like a zoo exhibit


    Ahhhhh well. I'm sure this stuff happens with any die hard supporter.

    I feel your pain man, I get the same here!

    I will be the guy who tells them to eat shit when they ask for ticket though! Funny that they weren't around at the start of the season when every thing was going well. Sort of! I did have a few ask for Beckham tickets, I just give them the polite not on your life, no Becks fans allowed in my seats!

    Yeah, no kidding. These are the same people who are the first to say "Hey, can you get me tickets to the next game? I want to take my kids."

    Sorry. None available.

    Luckily I work with 2 fellow STHs plus a few others get tickets here and there.
    I'm known as the most hardcore in here tho' and my lack of voice and scowl are a dead giveaway on days like today.

    Worse when your the only supporter out of 1400 teens at school, all of which are jerks and have nothing better to do than just laugh. Can't wait to get out.

    My boss is an ex-footy player and Current Footy coach. . he understandswhen I am gutted from a loss, and gives me afternoons off for Big Champions League games.. .

    BUT, there are a couple of know-nothing fuck wads who take plenty of digs when they know my team (s) did not do well. . Euro was Torture after Bufoon stopped that Romanian PK. . for example.

    Then ther are the closeted jock-fags, who have taken one too many towel snaps to the head.. . .

    This morning I got in here. . and I heard:

    "What. . you gonna cry in your office now cuz you finaly realized the sport and team you care SO much about are total and complete shit?

    I'll take you to see The BUFFALO BILLS. . and you can see what a REAL sport is"


    Thye are lucky they are not wearing their asses as hats right now. . I swear, one more lil jab, and Im goin over the edge.

    I'm the only fan in my office, but I know two more fans in our other offices. The only difference here is that nobody even cares about football, much less bother to try and razz me about a TFC loss. The only way people here know there's a game is because I make a fuss about it during the day.

    I really don't understand this. Doesn't this team represent the City and carry the name Toronto wherever it goes? Its almost like we are fans of a team in a different City totally. I can understand you not being the fan we are, but whats the with questions: What happened to your team? WTF?!? ITS EVERYONE'S TEAM!!!

    Although I must say our District Coach is constantly asking me "whats going on Red Patch?" But thats just because he wants to see some decent players on the team, that can put the ball in the net.

    There's really only one other guy in my office who is a footy fanatic, and I brought him to the game last night, so he's feeling my pain today. Nobody else really knows anything about it here at my work, so I don't get the idiotic jabs that you guys do, thankfully. I would snap if I had to put up with that all day.

    For sure, lord knows I would have.

    After we lost agaist Chivas at home last year, some friends of mine felt the need to text message me about it and rub it in. I asked the one guy how his HIV and STD tests went (got a bit drunk and had a scare). Knowing full well that on the way to the game, my other friends explained what happend and how much it was freaking him out.....

    Hasn't said a word since...., and he's clean. thank god for that.
