That's a badass manager

This. Those are the guys you go to war for.

I was a weekend manager for a family attraction center/sports complex after college, trying to make ends meet. Well, we had a travel hockey team come in and they destroyed our locker room. shite everywhere, clogged up the toilets, everything. One of the high school kids comes to get me when he has to turn over the locker room. I don't make him clean it- I do, while he holds the contractor bags.

I check the schedule, find out which team was in the dressing room. See that they're also on the schedule in a week's time for practice. I wait until coach comes in later that week, and tell him what his kids did. He canceled their regular practice routine,and bag skates them (think windsprints until everyone pukes). The high school staff and I get popcorn, sit in the stands, and watch, as the travel team begs for practice to end.

Revenge was sweet.
