What I feel is an alarming trend

[toomanycasts]

Right on the money. I live on the water making a living bass fishing. I see and experience people with no sense of etiquette virtually every day out there and it seems to be more so the past few years....and they are in bass boats, pontoon boats, pleasure boats etc....I don't see it coming anymore from tournament angler than I do others. I mark it up to their upbringing....seems less folks are taught manners and respect for others now days than in the past.I will however also say majorty of those out there are respectful..just seems more not now than in days past. Kind of like driving in traffic now day..more people weaving in and out of traffic and cutting folks off etc.

It's not just competitive anglers. There are more inconsiderate people these days. Take a parking lot for example. You can park away from the door dingers all by yourself, and some idiot will be compelled to park too close to you. So close that you have to get in from the other side. God forbid you try to protect something nice . These are the same kind of people who feel compelled to fish on top of you, wake you with their pontoon, or buzz you with a jet ski. They can have the whole lake, but they just have force themselves on you. It is an Era of idiots. And the older I get, the less I tolerate it. Can't help but say something. Maybe it's a herd mentality. Or some ingrained sub-conscience moronic genetic defect. Just my two cents.

Man the Door Dingers is spot on........I always park my truck away from everyone else. Hey, it's a BIG vehicle and I know the doors swing out.

About once a week, some ******* needs to also park his vehicle out.........RIGHT next to mine, even though there fir 500 spaces right next to me that he could have taken. DRIVES me crazy.

I cannot help I accidentally and very forcefully flail my door open on these occasions. .......

Later,
