Meet the Nimrod Family

We all know that holidays bring out every assjack that has a boat but this one was extra frustrating.

I go down to the lake (Ridgeway Res) with the wife and kids and a friend on Mon. When we get there, lake and ramp are fairly dead. I pull over in the "prep" lane and get ready (bimini up, coolers on board, and of course: the plug) as I'm almost ready to go down the ramp this Explorer full of Nimrods goes right past prep area straight to the ramp and proceeds to back down poorly. The truck stops and the family of yahoos proceeds to get out.

Dad starts unloading the entire truck into the boat, the two smallest Nimrods start throwing a ball on the ramp, and Mom and daughter put chairs on the dock to watch the show.

I manage to launch, let my friend park the truck, and return to the dock to pick him up with no appreciable progress made to the loading of the Nimrod family. To make matters worse, I see Dad now removing a battery from the truck and proceeding to install it on his boat STILL ON THE RAMP AND TRAILER HALFWAY IN THE WATER!!!


I avoid these idjits all day long like the plague, trying not to let it get the better of me. We come back in to leave for the day and guess who is back at the dock???

You guessed it, the famous Nimrod family.

Now the Mom, Dad and oldest are sitting there eating while tied to the dock, as close as possible to the ramp (as in no one else can launch or retrieve around them even). As I get closer, I see that the youngest is now buck naked pissing off the side of the dock and the other is laying out at the end of the dock.

I held my tongue for the sake of my family's enjoyment and loaded up and left, told a Ranger on the way out but who knows if it did any good.


What the hell is the matter with people?????

Re: Meet the Nimrod Family

Situations like this can be prevented somewhat by a couple friendly signs just asking folks not to use the ramps for a party/picnic area.

Out local marina owner had this problem on occasion. A couple signs did the trick.

Some people are just too damn stupid for that to work. This was at a state park with signs everywhere.

They need a Ranger with a size 16 boot to administer swift kicks to the asses of those like the Nimrods.

The trouble is with this example is the parents are clueless which means that the kids are even more clueless and carry that on several generations and what we have is what we are seeing at boat docks, movie theaters, malls, etc. Not only are they clueless but a lot of them have attitudes because they have been taught if they make big enough jerks of themselves they can get most anything they want for free.:'(

Re: Meet the Nimrod Family

I tell my neighbor that you did not appreciate his boating techniques :)

If they were my neighbors the patrol guy would have gotten a WHUT? from the dad and then a bunch of yelling and screaming and cursing. As it was they were nice and quiet.


Also what are you complaining about, if not for the nimrods you would have nothing to post today.

You should make lemonade out of those lemons!

What's wrong with being buck naked and pissing off of the dock? :devil:

Just kidding! Goes to show you that no matter where you go in this world there are Nimrod relatives everywhere. Best thing to do is what you did.....avoid them as much as you can.
