what would you be doing if it weren't rainy?
Drinking all Saturday outside the baseball stadium then watching a game

Well I could still go drinking

But the rain kind of defeats the purpose

It's already a 90 minute train ride into the city. Not gonna ride trains for 90 minutes just to drink then take another 90 min ride back home

That Tampa Bay jersey fiasco....yeesh.

I pointed out in the thread that in the UK we have a particular name for the type of employees who enforce these kind of rules

They are called "Jobsworths"

noun
DEROGATORY•INFORMAL
  1. an official who upholds petty rules even at the expense of humanity or common sense.
    "parks abound with jobsworths who delight in yelling that you can't do that without special permission"
A jobsworth is a person who uses the (typically minor) authority of their job in a deliberately uncooperative way, or who seemingly delights in acting in an obstructive or unhelpful manner. It characterizes one who upholds petty rules even at the expense of effectiveness or efficiency.
"Jobsworth" is a British colloquial[1][2] word derived from the phrase "I can't do that, it's more than my job's worth", meaning that failing to do what is requested of them would be against what their job requires and would be likely to cause them to lose their job. The Oxford English Dictionary defines it as "A person in authority (esp. a minor official) who insists on adhering to rules and regulations or bureaucratic procedures even at the expense of common sense."[1] Jonathon Green similarly defines "jobsworth" as "a minor factotum whose only status comes from enforcing otherwise petty regulations".[3]
