OK, I am kind of "renewed" to boating, I boated when I was a kid and now I am just a bigger kid. Anyway I was out with three friends last weekend on the lake. Lake Mead has the longest shoreline in the US but it has less then 1% useable beach area, the rest is verticle rock. We found a nice place on Sandy Beach and beached the boat, unload everything and get wet a little, it's about 108 today. (it's a dry heat you know)

After a while we decide we were hungry so we get back on the boat to eat, we were almost done when I see this jet ski going slow around the stern. No problem but he's really too close, then he waves to this pontoon boat and here they come, a whole boatload of Hicks. They park only FIVE FEET off the Port side! Now, like I said there is not allot of beach but there is enough to get a little farther away then five feet! I think OK I'll keep my cool and not think much of this. BUT then they "release the hounds", yep, along with three little morons they have two black labs. Now I am not a real dog lover but I like them as long as the owner keeps them under control. Today, that is not the case, both dogs come out and head to our area and **** right where we have our stuff. We yell at the Hicks and they say they will clean it up with a shovel...right! They look for one and say they must have left it at the house, OK I am a little perturbed but am managing to not fly off the handle. BUT, just then the dogs come back and do a #2 ...guess where...right in our area...again! Well now the tolerance level is about shot so I ask them to get their dogs on a leash or tie them up, yep that goes unanswered, while I am talking to them I ask if they could move a little farther away, they say ?it's a public area, ARG! Not to mention that they are now diving off the back of their boat and EVERY time they dive they splash me and everyone else in my boat!
I am now at a near boil until the doggies come back and **** all over our cooler and float toys! You guessed it, the boil has come to full steam! I told them to get their F&%$en dogs away from our area and called them MORONS, the one kid said he thought that they were not morons, I said go find a dictionary and look it up, you'll find you family photo right there!
We finally pulled up everything and went for a nice ride, found another beach and cooed off.
Why are people such MORONS, they have no thoughts other then for their selves.
Sorry for the long post but I am still a little pi%%#$ off.

Unfortunately it takes all sorts !!!!
More unfortunately is the fact that those sorts always find you no matter where you try and hide !!!!

oh no, you can't hide from them, its like there is hick conspiracy, to seek and destroy all those who wish to be left alone, and to enjoy there time away from work, where we pay the taxes to support the likes of the people behind the conspiracy.

Re: Some people just don't have a clue.......

I had a similar situation a few years back. We packed every thing up. I walked to there stuff told them that even though I did not have a dog that I wanted to return the favor. I proceded to p1$$ on there stuff and before they could react I jumped in the boat and sped off.

I love dogs but they must be kept under control.

Re: Some people just don't have a clue.......

Well, it's hard to be left alone when you are in public, and in an area that is restrictive. That being said, when you know that you are going to be a little "tight" having a little respect for your neighbors is paramount.

The problem is, how do you deal with people like this without doing something you normally wouldn't think of doing? It's not like you are going to go run over to their area and drop a "sub" in their swimming area. You know it's just going to get bad.

I think what really gets people the worst is that you can't reason with MORONS, but letting them GET AWAY WITH IT, just encourages them further because they DON'T HAVE A CLUE.

Re: Some people just don't have a clue.......

I feel your pain....The question is how fast was that boat compared to yours? This opens up a whole bunch of possibilities if your boat is faster. I probably would have taken the labs hostage in my boat and took off....I like dogs, but if there is one thing a hick cares for more than his sister who is really his wife....its their dog! If that fails get out the wrench play along with them for a bit, swim behind the boat and take out the plug. Sometimes people have to learn the hard way.

Certain "things" are made for these types of situations. One of them being a big wad of fishing line placed behind their prop. Should keep them busy for a while when they go to leave.

If it were legal for everyone to carry a fire arm, hardly anyone would act like a moron.:D

Re: Some people just don't have a clue.......

When I lived in a condo this one guy would use the rear parking area for a testing strip to figure out if he had his car tuned up. I asked him to stop because of the danger to children, his wife even sided with me! He did not stop.
So one night after his test I went over to the car's garage and put about twenty 3" drywall screws through the door to keep it from opening.
He never did it again!
Wish I had an underwater drill.

"Wish I had an underwater drill."

Doing this will ruin the drill, but one of those little $20 Wally World 6v drills will run underwater long enough to power a 1/2" bit thru about 1" of plywood two or three times.
