Are freaking elitist punks out to spoil your good time?:soapbox:

Me and a friend went down to the landing to ride. Two girls showed up :wiggle:who wanted to take it for a spin and they both jump on the blaster while we hold it. Fast forward 30 minutes and they have been trying to get back on the ski across the lake to no avail. Too funny. They swim back in and since one girl had never been on a jetski I took her back out for a quick 5min rip. We are all swimming at the landing having a good time throwing a ball for our dog when MR kayaker paddles up like he owns the lake. Tells me i have to be off by seven bc its the law:reporter: (which it isn't) and interrogates me like a cop asking where i live and being a total jerk. I was nice to him the whole time i just don't get the attitude. :aargh4: Took down my boat numbers and continued to act like it was HIS DUTY to police the water.

The whole time we discussed his disposition there was a jetski across the lake tearing it up at full throttle. Do you think he went and told them too? nope too far to paddle.

We have been riding right until sunset at this lake 3 times a week for the past three years, never one issue. No cops ever called for riding. I was half tempted to flip the guys kayak, but he had a good reach, i didn't want to take a double paddle up side of my head. I just don't know why he couldn't say something like, "hey guys i live on the lake and i don't like it when you ride past seven bc it cuts into my peaceful kayak time. I just wanted to warn you guys before i call the DNR next time." Instead he freaking interrogates me as if i was riding my old rn that had an xmetal wb and front exhaust. No one complained when i rode that ski until dark, go figure. Douche wants to complain about a bone stock blaster, good grief. I should have got back on the ski and rode circles around him, but i digress. Silly cry babies in their kayaks are not worth the ticket.

All i could think about was how at Cleveland this year i seriously thought MADMAT was going to KILL the DNR officer when we were at the landing. I sure wish i would have had that kind of energy to unload on this guy. :Banane36:
 
at a lake around here we got some skier's that figure they own the lake and can set up there slalom course wherever they want then they own that part of the lake and noone can ride in that whole section and good luck tryin to set up buoys for you to rip on
 
some ppl are dicks. i would have told that guy exacally how i felt. sorry bud, public lake (assuming it is a public lake) and carried on my business. if he wanted to get the law involved so be it, your not doing anything wrong. it would have made him look like a tard and you coulda got a laugh out of it.
 
why do you bother talking to him? when that does happen just walk away, and if he continues to harass you call the cops on HIM


definly dont flip his yak...that will land you in jail


but be SURE to call him a "masteryakker" as he paddles away! (ps.. yaksturbater works well as a substitue as well :) )



if he's an older guy, and especially if upset...they tend to not like to be called sweetheart, buttercup or babygirl either...FYI









had that happen once at the beach here.......got out of my truck, stretched and threw down a lawn chair to chill (was the first one there)..some fisherdouch wit new yawk plates starts reading me the riot...

I listened to his bull:):):):) for a minute, told him to get out of my face.....took his picture telling him in case my truck was damaged and he left FUMING.....2 mintues later the lifegards came by...chatted me up and kicked him off the beach haha

keep the gloves up suzi holy!!

:Banane13:I was playing of course, yet it does seem males typically tend to be more aggressive than females, in general!

I have run into it from both male and female. When I do, I make a point to be extra considerate of their feelings, and I am respectful. I take the time to listen, talk to them…give them the chance to get to know me, even if it is only for a brief moment (usually we end up talking for a long time, lol, imagine that)!! For me at least, I notice this calms them down. It gives them a chance to see that I am not their enemy, and that I do genuinely care about their feelings. That is common sense to me.

My approach always depends upon the situation, as well as the personality I happen to be encountering at the given moment. I find it particularly effective with police officers, for they tend to do the same; they usually give what they get. Granted, there is always the Barney every now and then, and that tends to take more effort (still rarely an issue though). You should seriously try it…it takes practice, discipline.

its more fun to take the other approach suziq.

sometimes life isn't about pleasing everyone. now if they are asking nicely then yes i would be polite back but knowing myself way to well if they act like a fool, there gonna get a piece of my mind. sometimes a little trouble is fun and it wouldn't be the first time i got a ticket on a lake....

Maybe for some, I guess (and perhaps that is a male mind, idk…it is funny though, lol)…

Conflict resolution though: if someone is upset, you have to calm them down, before they will listen, generally.

I guess it depends upon how badly you wish to get along...

I understand the desire to vent in return initially...it is human nature perhaps.

True, as with Idok's post.
I'm all for the Rodney King,"can't we all just get along" thing.....

But, sometimes, a little spine goes a long way.
Mouthy idiots like that are not generally used to somebody standing up to them. And when someone does, they don't know what to do. Kinda funny at that point.

That's why I said this: "My approach always depends upon the situation, as well as the personality I happen to be encountering at the given moment."

As usual Suzi, your heart is in the right place. But a "self-help" seminar is not required to deal with a-holes.
Also, your experiences surely differ most of the time simply because of your gender. It may not be right, but it's the truth.

lol this has gotten me in trouble on the x thou....

you should be proud suzi, i have been behaving myself. another month and my infractions will be gone.:newangel:

lol, I am so very proud of you tzane! :wiggle:

Honestly, I had no idea what an infraction was until earlier this year (I have yet to receive one too). I just happened to run across a thread that mentioned it, so I learned.
