Okay now that a few have answered (and someone I wanted to didn't, as usual
) let's move on.....
What kind of behavior irritates you at the track / OTB?
You know what i really hate? Going up to the window and having one of those people in front of me who doesn't have a clue and starts to chit chat like some of us have all ******* day!
What's even worse though are the guys (sexist, i know, but it's always the old guys) who yell for the jockey the whole time (JONNNNEEEE, C'MON JONNNNEEEE), call the poor horse by their number (should be illegal. "C'mon TWO! C'mon TWO." Oh shut the hell up. He has a
name, you imbecile.) , praise the jock when they win and call the horse a nag, etc., if they lose. Want to smack those types!
(Guess we shouldn't mention that we often do the voices of the horses
during the races, huh Happy T and Gallant? I wonder if that bothers anyone...).
What irritates you?
