[QUOTE="BadgeBunny, post: 2573947, member: 1242"] Haha! I'll tell you a funny (well, now anyway ...) story ... I shot a local match here, with a bunch of guys I knew ... I actually came in first in my classification (and I was so excited because I'd beat several guys ... FINALLY!!) ... So ... it comes time to hand out the little plastic trophies ...:woot: and I hear the match director saying "Well, Patti, you did come in first in this classification but I decided to give you a Ladies Trophy, instead of the regular one ... that way more folks can get a trophy ... :shocked: :mad: Mind you, he'd never given me a Ladies Trophy before ... BECAUSE I WAS THE ONLY WOMAN WHO EVER SHOWED UP OUT THERE and there had never been a "Ladies Classification before! :mad: So ... some guy who came in second got MY first place trophy and some guy who came in third got the second place trophy and the guy who shouldn't have gotten a trophy at all got the third place trophy ... :saywhat: Yeah ... You could have heard a pin drop in that room because I'd shot with probably 95% of the guys in there and they KNEW how hard I'd worked. I don't know that I've ever felt so insulted at a match in my life. And I don't believe GC and I have shot a match there since. I KNOW I haven't. I took my "Ladies Trophy" got my bag when to the car and we left ... :disappoin :nolike: We were half-way home before GC said anything to me ... and all he said then was "I'm sorry. That shouldn't have happened." Now ... whether he believes that ... or he was just trying to make me feel better, I dunno ... cuz he's gotta live with me! :P :rotflmao: So ... yeah ... you could be SECOND!! :woot: [/QUOTE]
