The usher could have and should have handled it better, he should have just politely asked you go get a cup. Sorry, but I don't see much of a difference between sunflower seed shells and peanut shells. If you think it's gross, don't look. I find many other things at the park that I find "grosser". I wish the ushers would be more of an ass out in my section of the bleachers or really that the people in the stands could be more considerate of others. I wish they would tell people to stop pounding on the back of the seats. If you want to pound on the seats when everyone is standing, that's cool with me, no problems there. But when everyone is sitting down and you're doing it, it's very annoying and uncomfortable. (EDIT: changed "a$$" to "ass"; members can say "ass," but circumventing the filter is against the rules --1992)
