Argggghhhh. . . .

Ole Forrest Gump had it right, "stupid is as stupid does."

I understand your frustration. We had to pull the boat for the 20 hr service the other week and decided to do it on a weekday to avoid any craziness and the bad weather that closed out the Memorial Day weekend. So, it's a quiet Tuesday afternoon, wife drives the truck and trailer to the ramp while I motor the boat over. Good, easy plan.

As I get over to the BOAT ramp, I notice a grandmother and her granddaughter are fishing off the courtesy dock. The little girl, who I later learned was 9, starts waving to me and telling me about the fish she has caught while I am hanging Brian's balls from the side of the boat in hopes that it will clue these 2 in that I'm going to dock the boat. As I ease on up to the dock, I see that they have poles thrown off both the ramp side and the tie up side of the dock.

i ask nicely if they could pull the poles in so I can dock the boat. Grandma decides its time to give me some lip and barks back, "well where do you want us to put our poles?" I wasn't really in the mood to deal with her crap, so I now, not so nicely said, "the fishing dock thats RIGHT OVER THERE might be a damn good place to start. I've got some other ideas too, if you want to hear them."

She gave me an interesting look, packed up their crap and muttered to herself the whole 50 yards to the fishing dock.
