[#bf0000]Disclaimer: You know when a post starts with one of these it can possibly go to crap really fast. This post is in NO WAY [#bf0000]intended[/#bf0000] to offend, single out, apply to ect... ANY BFT member(s). My observations are based solely on my own observations and experiences. If you resemble one of my pet peeves either change your evil ways or it's something I need to get over (you decide). If you choose to add pet peeves of your own please be sensitive to others. I do not want this post to end up locked. Remember we're all friends here. [/#bf0000]
[crazy] [#505000]Yesterday while the fish weren't biting on the Men In Black Clandestine Floatilla, and enduring a few of my fishing pet peeves I got to thinking it would be fun (and potentially disasterous) to post of a few of them......[/#505000]
[#505000][/#505000]
[#505000]1. Just because you have the worlds best taste in music doesn't mean we all want to hear your favorite selections booming across the lake 300 yards away. Gangsta rap, hip hop, country, heavy metal, easy listening, ect.... are not enjoyed by all. turn it down or buy some headphones. [/#505000]
[#505000][/#505000]
[#505000]2. Not everyone enjoys your dog. Being allergic to dogs I am always just thrilled when I find one sniffing me, rooting around inside my tackle box, checking out my fish ect.. If you choose to fish with your dog I'm cool with that as long is it is under control and not pestering others.[/#505000]
[#505000][/#505000]
[#505000]3. Your mother does not work at the lake. Pack it in pack it out. 'Nuff said.[/#505000]
[#505000][/#505000]
[#505000]4. Try not to talk about stuff you don't comprehend. I just love hearing stores about the monster blue (or flathead) catfish you caught as a child out of Utah Lake. [/#505000]
[#505000][/#505000]
[#505000]5. Watch your voice volume/conversation content. I am reminded of a time when a small boat with 4 "gentlemen" were 1/4 mile away from shore fishing on Utah Lake. They were speaking very very loud. I could clearly hear each and every profanity (and there were lots and lots of em') uttered by these guys. I'm known to share a few choice words with my friends as the situation dictates but I don't share them with the entire lake and the children fishing from shore. [/#505000]
[#505000][/#505000]
[#505000]6. With an entire lake to stir up why does it seem the PWC crowd has to showboat 200 yards off shore around the best fishing holes?[/#505000]
[#505000][/#505000]
[#505000]Like I said I don't want this post to be a flaming post and these are pet peeves in general. Not intended to single anyone out. What are your pet peeves, and remember lets keep it friendly if we can. Let's be nice to bait fishermen, fly fishermen, ect....[/#505000]
