does this annoy anyone else

When I was watching dressage at Badminton last year, there was a lady sat in front of us who kept saying things like 'oh that was awful' and 'they'll get badly marked for that' and even 'that's wrong BD rules state advertising on tack blah blah blah' (that was directed at Michael Jung! Plus it's an international event. When she starting harping on about William Fox Pitt's flying change being 'awfully rushed' I was like Err excuse me? That's why they're the ones competing and YOU'RE a spectator?!?
She soon shut up. But my God it was irritating! (I'm certainly no dressage pro, but still!)

I understand how annoying loud people at competitions are, but an opinion can be valid even if you don't partake. What about all those people on telly who discuss players' performances at football? Do they all have to be top players?

I agree with you, and if she had been whispering a little too loudly I wouldn't have reacted, but it was in a loud showy off way and tbh seemed like it was more to be heard and sound like she knew what she was talking about- not just a discussion with her friend. Otherwise it wouldn't have annoyed me, I just wanted to sit quietly and watch them compete! Everyone around her was looking awkwardly at each other lol.

Yes I know what you mean. some people seem only to go in order to be heard. ;) I wonder are they like that watching the telly?
