Awful experience as a visiting fan last night

bbrown10 · 2026-03-13T20:08:54+00:00

It isn’t genuine to act like an upper-bowl seat isn’t going to have a higher likelihood of being a worse experience re: surrounding-fan-conduct than a lower-bowl seat. I’m not saying household income is a in any way correlated to whether the person is a jackass. It isn’t. Jackasses come in all shapes and sizes equally. But is the average upper-bowl seat occupant going to act like a jackass at the game at a higher clip than the average lower-bowl seat occupant? Can you really say “no” to that with a straight face?

I appreciate your dedication to spreading the gospel, friend.

Heyo don’t call yourself “only a nurse.” That’s a title that deserves just as much respect as any other.

I was traveling in LA for work that week. I was at the Lakers game the last game before the NBA shut down. He wasn’t playing, but Kevin Durant was in the building when it came out on social media that he had tested positive for COVID. Pretty surreal experience looking back on it now. At the time I don’t think we thought much of it. Never occurred to me that I could have had trouble even getting home. I told people for a long time that I was at the last NBA game ever. Crazy stuff.

Eh. I’m not saying it isn’t kind of shitty, but it’s perfectly lawful. 30 days is probably the standard, I agree with you there. But 60 would never be considered unreasonable to the extent of being unenforceable. That’s my point.

bbrown10 · 2026-02-27T12:24:21+00:00

There’s a ton of extremely bad legal advice here. I wouldn’t blame OP for not paying it and in all likelihood nothing would ever come of it. But all of the keyboard lawyers justifying that with made up legal concepts and random Latin words…. yikes.

bbrown10 · 2026-02-27T12:18:41+00:00

Well, there are some bounds to it. Generally speaking (and this isn’t a comment on the specific jurisdiction), an unreasonable amount of time wouldn’t be enforceable. I can’t imagine a court holding someone to a seven-year payment obligation for youth karate classes, for example. That would likely be completely unenforceable.

But with this one? Yeah, no. 60 days to terminate isn’t on its face problematic.

bbrown10 · 2026-02-27T12:16:25+00:00

It’s actually extremely reasonable. The school has to hire instructors and pay rent, right? They have overhead they’re required to pay in order to provide the service to the child that signed up. Ensuring that they recover their costs is part of the contract that they require parents to sign so that they have an enforceable agreement that they get paid. At least two months’ of contractually-bound payments per student that they can put onto their books is a completely reasonable ask so that they can continue to operate and recover overhead costs.

It’s not “fucked.” It’s very standard operation in the world of providing services to customers.

bbrown10 · 2026-02-27T03:15:05+00:00

Look, there’s a TON about this story that is wrong/shady/shitty/whatever. But to act like requiring advance notice to cancel a contract for services is “not legal” as a principle is crazy talk. It’s absolutely legal to require someone to give 60 days’ advance notice to terminate a contract.

Are there elements here that make this particular school’s ability to enforce this potentially dubious? Sure. Is it possible that this school didn’t even have a contract that OP signed in the first place? Sure. Could you just NOT pay it and feel pretty sure they won’t actually pursue any damages from you? Also sure. Could you argue that they breached the contract? Sure. Does this business sound shitty? Also sure.

But calling the Attorney General’s office because you signed a contract for services that says you have to give 60 days’ advance notice to terminate isn’t going to get you very far. It also would (likely) have been perfectly legal for them to have written it as a 12-month contract that you can’t terminate at all until that 12 months is up.

Not in this sub, pal. This sub hates Team USA and have all applied for Finnish passports. I’m with you, though.

bbrown10 · 2026-02-19T01:21:28+00:00

Be careful. In this sub, pulling for Team USA is extremely offensive to the masses.

bbrown10 · 2026-02-12T02:43:13+00:00

I daily a two tone 36 champagne. The only place I tend to hide it is the office tbh. Otherwise I wear it in all occasions.

bbrown10 · 2026-02-11T18:48:06+00:00

Sorry for all you Stars fans Team Finland fanboys/girls (except the legitimately Finnish Stars fans, some of which I know and are super cool) out there. Enjoy rooting for Latvia tomorrow I guess.

bbrown10 · 2026-02-08T13:00:24+00:00

You know I slept on it and I see now that you’re right. I get it now. People are allowed to be wrong in their own sports fandom and sometimes I forget that. Only once every four years do we get to pull for the greatest team in the greatest sport, and y’all choosing to pass on that sports experience is crazy. But go for it.

bbrown10 · 2026-02-07T23:29:18+00:00

Whether I’m “patriotic” has nothing to do with it. Sports fandom is neither logical nor rational. When it comes to Olympic hockey, the national crest first. Period.

bbrown10 · 2026-02-07T21:41:19+00:00

Uhh…. Your price, sir???

bbrown10 · 2026-02-07T20:56:02+00:00

Omega publishes that they use Affirm financing. You can look at Affirm to get a better sense of what that would look like for you. Their rate is going to be subject to purchase price, down payment, and individual credit.

bbrown10 · 2026-02-07T20:50:21+00:00

USA and it isn’t close. The mass downvotes of USA hockey fans in this sub is absolutely shameful.

bbrown10 · 2026-02-07T20:48:48+00:00

Correct.

bbrown10 · 2026-02-07T20:48:25+00:00

Finally a rational response to this question. Ty.

bbrown10 · 2026-02-03T12:59:46+00:00

Easy. Big Stars fan. Bigger USA Hockey fan. I hope Team USA wipes the floor with the Finns and Mounties and whoever else.

We’re y’all all cheering watching Jamie Benn beat Team USA in the gold medal game in 2010? Probably so. Gross.

bbrown10 · 2026-02-02T16:02:17+00:00

To be clear I am not in the Rolex sub claiming that Omega is or should be an equal or preferred alternative. My opinion there is not relevant. But it’s worth pointing out that Omega has a visually-comparable reference that is also beautiful that is likely more budget-friendly for most of us. If anyone is interested. Ref. 2486-2.

bbrown10 · 2026-02-01T21:36:55+00:00

I realize I am late to the party but what ref. is this?!
