Pet Peeve's
What is your biggest pet peeve while on your boat? Basically, what do passengers do that drive you crazy?
This should be an interesting thread to see everyone's posts. The list can go on forever, but the few of mine are........... 1. Friends that you invite that never bring anything (no beer, no food, no sun screen, etc.) and just expect that since I invited, I was going to supply it all. Worse yet, never offering any money for gas. 2. Stepping all over my interior with their shoes and sandals on. Do you think they would like it if I came over to their house and walked on their couch with mine on ? Take them off on the dock first. |

You hit the nail on the head with your 2 reasons. Those have to be the top 2.

I've never had it happen, but lighting up a cigarette would be my third

Just off the top of my head...
1. Setting a mixed drink on a smooth surface of my boat (not in a cupholder -- just BEGGING to be spilled) and thinking its going to stay there. :confused: 2. Pulling my anchor aboard when its still covered in mud. 3. After cruising around all day long they'll hand me a $20 for gas. I suppose the gesture is nice, but after burning $300+ in fuel I usually just tell them to keep it. I'm sure there's more I could come up with if boating season were in full force. |

The uninvited guest(s)!
Usually a mate of a mate (and the mate’s kids!) None of them have ever been on a boat before and all need the toilet ten minutes after leaving the dock. |

I told said child to stand on the swim platform and go out the back. he then stood out there and pee'd into the boat! :eek_animated: lucky for him that was in the Sea Ray, if it had been the Mariah i think the throttle might have got a little shove :yes_grin: |
Re: Pet Peeve's
Seen lots of stupid stuff on boats and at boat launches. Probably my biggest peeve though is when pulling a tube or skier and someone decides to follow right behind me in my wake.
For crying out loud! Our lake is 35 miles long by 10 miles wide, you have to drive your flippin' boat right there while I'm pulling a kid!! :stick_em_up: |

Even a glasstron, I'm glad it was the just swim deck though and not his carpet! |
