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

[-] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 22 points 1 year ago

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

[-] bampop@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Nobody is born an umpire, you become an umpire if you get bitten by one but umpire parents always have electrical babies

[-] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Same, literally 😅 its my job

[-] SippyCup@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

Username checks out.

[-] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

Happy for you that you finally get your recognition!

[-] abfarid@startrek.website 33 points 1 year ago

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

[-] argh_another_username@lemmy.ca 21 points 1 year ago

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

But seriously, strollers and wheelchairs.

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

It’s probably for ADA compliance

[-] Hux@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 year ago

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

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Compliance with their wide asses!

[-] abbadon420@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

I like wide asses and I cannot lie

[-] VonReposti@feddit.dk 9 points 1 year ago

wide-ass

They're probably implying exactly this.

[-] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Maybe for strollers?

[-] Sadbutdru@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

Also the only one with a key pad!?

[-] abfarid@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Iapetus@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] abfarid@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago

Nah, she would've been a bike.

[-] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I thought this was America!

[-] joella 23 points 1 year ago

gasp there's a transformer in the electrical bathroom!

[-] baggachipz@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

[-] myster0n@feddit.nl 10 points 1 year ago

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

[-] theneverfox@pawb.social 1 points 1 year 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)

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

They should have the umpires sign in braille

[-] random_character_a@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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"

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago

Are umpires electric?
