Hell is sports (hockey) fans!

As I write this I am at work, trying to DO some work, and my 2 colleagues, one of whom I absolutely despise, are noisily watching the World Junior Hockey Championships on TV. It's like this fairly often at the office, usually during an NHL game. Last night, last week, sometimes I am the only one not screaming like an idiot at every goal. These are grown men, too. I have never been able to fathom sports fandom. Where I live hockey is the sport of choice, but it could be any other sport, really: soccer in much of the world, maybe cricket in India, Pakistan and the West Indies. Meanwhile, I sit in the corner, working and scowling.
