I put this in the War Zone cuz I don't know where this is gonna go...
OK so the epic weather and the "Rat Race" combined to over power me and I split work early Fri. and me and the family run to Blythe. Me and the wife seriously need some relaxation, but she has to be home early Sat. to get up at 5 for work Sun. AM. Get to Blythe just a bit too late to put boat in the water AND I forgot to put gas in the boat before we left Blythe soo by the time we do that on Sat its now 8 am. Go back into town for gas, race back to Mayflower, drop boat and SHIT DEAD BATTERY. I had it on the charger overnite before we left -- how the f#@k can this be? Its now like 10am before we actually get on the water!!!
So we motor around a bit and then head upriver to find a nice place for the kids to play and me and the wife to get some sun and "adult time". We find a nice beach about 40 yards long and put ashore. For 2 hours we only saw 3 fishing boats go by. I am thru 5 or 6 boat sodas and then my wife finds the missing Jack D and I throw a couple of those back. About the time we break out lunch this friggin Bennington comes in way too hot, bad 80's pop blaring out of the stereo, and 4 adults and 6 kids land on my beach. I have to get up and push my boat out so it doesn't beat itself up on the shore and hold it for quite a bit. Then I never can get it back as secure as it had been before. It is all I can do not to go tell these people WTF!?!?
I have to hold my wife back and she is kinda holding me back. I am 6'6" and about 285 and when I go off sometimes people get a little crazy, and don't take things quite right. I really don't want to make a huge scene in front of all these kids, and I know these jokers have never learned any manners BUT DAMN these people have seriously ruined my day. Eventually they turned the music off and they all stayed down at the other end of the beach. After an hour or so they got very peaceful and not bothersome at all. So I guess what I want to know is how should I have handled this? Should I have go loco? Start yelling or just calmly tell the guy to find another beach. Say nothing? Say hi and offer him a beer? I am right for not wanting to share 40 yards of beach? Flame on

There are alot of people in the world that their parents never beat respect and manners into them. So on that note, there will always be people in the world who are out to have a good time and end up ruining yours! You really cant get in the guys face with all the kids around and if the rangers/cops show up the least your going to get is a drunk and disorderly.
Just ignore the tard! if it gets to the point where you just cant...pack up and find another beach!
No kids around and its a different story!

exactly what you did, it's not worth letting one ass ruin your day, and not worth doing something in front of your kids that you will regret

i have met glasscutter a few times and he is intimidating. scared the crap out of me at the tom papp deal at elsinore....snuck up behind me. when i wasnt lookin ;D
i personally am not a very confrontational kinda person....passive mostly....but not so much lately....but i would have just given the evil eye and ignored them. if they would have continued, i would have just packed up and found another beach.
maybe they did realise they were being inconsiderate...thus why they stfu and stayed away. sometimes people get lost in a moment and forget theres other people in the world too.
