It's game day. The weather is perfect. You hear people singing the fight song from miles away and you smell the tons of fried food from the nearest tailgate tent. If you continue to look around you can see men hooking up their 50 inch flat screens to a generator for their tailgate party and women crowding together comparing game day outfits. You'd have to be crazy to not want to be a part of the fun. Nothing could come close to comparison to this feeling, except for the game itself. What could go wrong? You could get lucky and know everyone you're sitting by during the game and the good times keep rolling. Sadly, even if you have a huge group, there is always someone at the end which leads to sitting next to a complete stranger. This stranger could be super cool and may even end up being your new best friend, but be prepared it could end unfavorably. These types of people could get on your last nerve and make you lose that warm-fuzzy feeling that game days usually give you.

1. The Over-Drinker

Don't get me wrong, there will be a lot of drinking going on. The fans want to let loose and they have every right too! However, theres always that one person that'll take it way too far. and nothing is worse than a drunk stranger. This situation depends on two things: how tolerant you are and how insane they are. They could make the game hilarious, but more times then not they'll be disruptive. He or she will probably spill a drink and ruin your shoes, curse more than the average person should, and may throw some rude slurs. Being next to a "over-drinker" will test your patience and temper, but all in all is someone you don't want to be anywhere near on game day, even if you're a 10 on "the most patient person to ever exist" scale. They'll take all the attention that you should be giving your team and make it all about themselves.

2. The Sign Holder

Granted some of these signs can be pretty creative and super funny, but 9 times out of 10 they're just annoying. The signs that happen to be meaningful are washed away and forgotten because of all the "It's my birthday" posters. Trust me when I say this, we want to watch the game, not the back of your sign. The poster will be a nuisance for you and the person who brought it. I bet you 10 dollars that the sign was left after the game. They don't have a purpose at games, so save them for car washes and science projects.

3. The Negative Nellie

You know that person who sinks back in their seat and has there cell phone glued to their hand? They probably never smile either. Those people are known as "Negative Nellies." Don't confuse them with someone from the other team if they're losing. They have every right to be sad, but Negative Nellies are pouty before they even reach the stadium. This poor person was probably dragged there. He or she probably hates their lives at this moment. Whatever their excuse might be, bless your heart if their the person sitting next to you at a game. You won't have anyone to fist bump, high five, hug, or chest bump with on that side. Where's the fun in that? You want someone next to you that shares the love of the game and has a passion for the home team, not someone who couldn't care less about what is going on.

4. The Know It All

Remember that cocky guy in world lit that shot down everyone else opinion if it didn't match theres? Well, meet there distant cousin "The Know It All." Yes, it's great that they have a passion for the game, but when they start arguing about what a red shirt freshman is with complete strangers, you start to rethink their love for the game for major obsession. People like this have to be right i every situation and don't care how rude they sound to prove how clever they are. They'll start yelling at every little thing that is happening and voicing their opinion on small talk happening between plays. This guy will be a true test of your patience. It's just plain annoying. I think this quote from Eric Hoffer sums this up best, "Rudeness is the weak person's imitation of strength."

5. The Other Team's Biggest Fan

Picture this, great weather and you have your best friend by your side. You walk into the stadium, get a hot dog with all the fixings and a large cold coke. In your mind you couldn't picture a more perfect day. Then you look at your ticket to see where your seats are. You start looking for them and finally find the section then you try and find the row. You hearts stops as you look up and see the visitors side, and two empty seats right in the middle. Yes, those two seats are yours, right in the middle of the away section. You sit down then look to your right and there standing in sweat and opposing colors is a man covered in paint and foam fingers. You just met "The Other Team's Biggest Fan." That person also happens to be the person you get to get all cozy with during the game. Nothing is worse than being around the other teams chants and hearing all their trash talk, especially when you want to give it right back. When you're the minority in that situation it's best just to lay low and make sure you check where you're sitting next time.
