You must be one of the snowflakes who shifts blame for your own screwups by saying "but I told the guy selling the car to hold it for me" and BS like that. I don't operate that way. If I'm a coach, and a timeout gets screwed up, that is on me - not the ref. "But....but....I told the ref with 12 seconds that I wanted a timeout at 1 second and HE messed up.....whaaaaa...." No, he didn't, you did. Get in his face. Call your damn time out. It ain't the refs duty to pay attention to your ass and keep up with your future needs. Get in his face. Call it.
Just like when I have bought classic cars and trucks. I tell the seller "I can have you the money tomorrow morning. If someone comes along with money before me, sell it". It is life. I don't go back and say "but I told you I'd have the money this morning" and cry about it.
