My pet peeves are more of the type of things that happen around the ramps,then on the water.When iam on the water and find myself surrounded by"jerks" i can easly move,but at the ramp its not that simple.
People that backdown to the ramp then proceed to pull out the coolers ,fishing gear,getting the kids ready,really make my blood boil.Most ramps have a pre-launch area so people can get these things taken care of before they get to the ramp,and block it for 20 mins getting ready.
People that cut in line to either load or unload,are another pet peeve ,these types seem to think that thier time is more important then anyone else's and we should always wait for them .Or the guy that can't get his motor to start and after ten minutes of trying .still blocks the ramp because he won't move his boat out of the way.
When ever i run across a newbie i either try to help or give them the benefit of the doubt,but when i see a guy that doesnt have a clue,and i offer to help and iam told to mind my own damn bussines,that when i quit being mr.nice guy and will tell him to get his crap outta my way ,cuz i have wasted enough time on him.
All i want is to either get my boat unloaded ,so i can get out on the water,or to get it loaded quickly,so i can get on the road to go home.As i load and unload by myself alot,i know that one person takes a little longer,but i swear somtimes i want to pull out what little hair i have left.
