On Friday I had a volleyball game at a location I am not at liberty to disclose. During the JV game, this parent didn't have a child playing, so she was quiet. During the varsity game, she let loose. She started screaming during the warm-ups. If her kid was practicing hits, you'd hear "NICE HIT JONNY!" (This is not the kid's name). If he was practicing serves, "NICE SERVE JONNY! WOOOOOO!" During the actual game, the yelling was intensified. No other parent's were cheering, just her. Even if her kid didn't even touch the ball during the play, you'd hear "JONNNNNNNY! NICE JOB KID!" It was ridiculous. In this case, you could tell which kid she belonged to because "Jonny" was just as loud as she was. Just. As. Loud. If someone from our team was serving, just as they were going to hit the ball, you'd hear "FLOOOOOOOOAT" or "JUUUUUUUUUUMP!" It was quite unnecessary and really, really annoying.
On Saturday, I had a banquet. Banquets = awards. Whenever "Amy" would get an award, her family would be like "WOOOOOOOO AMMMMMAAAAAAYYYYYY! During an award ceremony or a banquet, practically nobody cheers. People clap. But every time "Amy" would go accept a trophy, plaque, medal, whatever, her family would obnoxiously yell for her. Unlike the previous story, "Amy" had a look of sheer horror on her face whenever they'd open their mouths and yell for her. Poor "Amy."
The only way a Triple O can be handled is if you beat their team. That'll shut them right up. Personally, that's the way I like to handle it too.
