What game that you attended was so bad that you left before the clock hit 0:00?

Discussion

I don't know if this is a normal thing that everyone does or if I'm just weird like that, but my thing when it comes to live sporting events is that I should not be leaving before the game is officially over. I don't care how bad of a game it is or whether or not the outcome has clearly already been decided, I'm sticking around until it's over. The only exceptions I make are if there are outside circumstances that either make the experience miserable (ex. bad weather).

I've hung in there for some really bad high school and college games. The only times I can remember leaving before a game was over were:
- A 2023 OHSAA regional semifinal between Pickerington North and Hilliard Bradley. Was on a sorta date with a girl I had been talking to. The game was awful. I was a North alum and we were in the midst of the best season we had had in a while and we couldn't cross midfield. It was cold and rainy and miserable and the final was like 19-0. Girl and I decided we had had enough and left midway through the fourth. I miss her

- 2024 Ohio vs Morehead State. Parker Navarro threw three picks and it was still a contest for some reason. It was also really hot. I was broke and there was no way in hell I was spending any amount of my hard-earned United States currency on Dasani. I left at halftime.

- Indiana vs Wisconsin this year, but I only didn't stay because not everyone in my friend group was able to make it to the game and I really only went to see Memorial Stadium, I just wanted to get back with them.

What games that you went to were so bad that you decided it would be more worth it to beat the traffic than stick around? Am I weird for this?

^(and if you hate dasani please comment so I can be validated)
