Are umpires electric?

[-] joella 17 points 8 hours ago

gasp there's a transformer in the electrical bathroom!

[-] cRazi_man@europe.pub 56 points 13 hours ago

I identify as electrical (pronouns: zip/zap).

[-] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 17 points 12 hours ago

I was actually raised by a single umpire and everyone just assumed I would turn out umpire too but I'm actually electrical

[-] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 10 points 13 hours ago

Same, literally 😅 its my job

[-] SippyCup@feddit.nl 2 points 10 hours ago

Username checks out.

[-] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 13 hours ago

Happy for you that you finally get your recognition!

[-] abfarid@startrek.website 26 points 13 hours ago

What are they implying with that wide-ass door for women?

[-] jewbacca117@lemmy.world 7 points 10 hours ago

ADA compliance most likely. If you look closely, everything on the Umpire door is also in Braille.

[-] argh_another_username@lemmy.ca 17 points 13 hours ago

I don’t like yo mama jokes. I just think about them.

But seriously, strollers and wheelchairs.

[-] Sadbutdru@sopuli.xyz 2 points 9 hours ago

Also the only one with a key pad!?

[-] abfarid@startrek.website 1 points 8 hours ago

I can't extract a yo momma joke from that though

[-] Iapetus@slrpnk.net 1 points 7 hours ago

If yo mama has wheels, she needs wheelchair access toilets.

[-] abfarid@startrek.website 1 points 4 hours ago

Nah, she would've been a bike.

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 9 points 13 hours ago

It’s probably for ADA compliance

[-] Hux@lemmy.ml 16 points 13 hours ago

If it were for ADA compliance, the “Umpires” door would need a Braille sign.

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

Compliance with their wide asses!

[-] abbadon420@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 hours ago

I like wide asses and I cannot lie

[-] VonReposti@feddit.dk 8 points 13 hours ago

wide-ass

They're probably implying exactly this.

[-] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

Maybe for strollers?

[-] myster0n@feddit.nl 10 points 12 hours ago

How do you become an umpire? Do you become one when you're bitten by another umpire?

[-] theneverfox@pawb.social 1 points 5 hours ago

You get hit by a baseball. Then you're cursed with an overwhelming fear of getting hit by baseballs

This compels you to get protective equipment and hide behind a guy (who's entire job is to catch the ball if it makes it past the batter)

[-] griff@lemmings.world 3 points 10 hours ago

welcome to the multiverse

[-] baggachipz@sh.itjust.works 14 points 14 hours ago

I’m tired of umpires being discriminated against! They are not “separate but equal”. I say we treat them like the humans they pretend to be.

[-] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 8 points 14 hours ago

I’ll stop discriminating against umpires when they learn to see.

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 7 points 13 hours ago

They should have the umpires sign in braille

[-] random_character_a@lemmy.world 7 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

There is a Finnish hick t-shirt text "Don't touch electrician when you are wet".

This is because electrician in Finnish is "sähkömies" and is literally translated "electric man"
