21. I stand, but that's it

And I do that only to avoid having shit flung at me.

About 30 years ago, I was sitting in the back row of the first-base bleachers at a minor league game. I stood during the anthem, and I felt something tugging at my pants leg. I looked down behind me and there was this 60-ish man glaring up at me and saying, "Take your hat off!"

I just glared back at him.

I do NOT understand why people get so worked up over this.
