G.O.A.T.
Okay, so I got into my first ever tennis court argument today. It was pretty heated. Although I didn't drop any curse words and at no point was there a chance of physical alteration.
Anyways, here's the deal. We're playing at 7:30 pm, so I got there early to get a court before they filled up. Public park with two courts. When I pull in, there's a car in the parking lot with people with tennis gear. I don't know if they're arriving or departing. But to be safe and make sure I got a court, I got out and walked up there and put my water bottles on one of the courts (both empty).
I go back to my car to get the rest of my stuff, and they go up there and CROSS the empty court to play on the court I chose. So I get my stuff and go back there to the open court, and when I grab my bottles I tell them they they took my court. The lady then gets super mad at me, telling me what I did is wrong, that I can't do that, they it was very bad, etc etc.
So it got heated and I basically said hey, not my fault you're slow getting out of your car. Pulling into the parking lot isn't enough to reserve a court. And regardless, she went out of her way to take my court by not taking the open one - so she brought on the dispute.
Thoughts?
