Spelling and grammar. The misuse of the apostrophe. Sometimes I have trouble reading some of the posts on here because there are so many errors in syntax. It just drives me crazy. Also, the misuse of words like there/their/they're makes me nuts.

I hate it when I am fishing from shore, catching some fish and having a good time and then some guy comes up in a boat and comes in so close to where I am fishing that I do not even have room to cast anymore and have to move on.

Which alone is bad enough and really ticks me off but then when I move on to the next spot and start catching fish again they move right up again. Again I am forced to move on. >

I like to take an old rattle trap, or something else heavy for that matter, and just hit the side of thier boat with it. It does no damage, and it gets them to leave. Not to mention, it makes me feel a bit better too.  

Grammar nazis.

People that use there big motor to pass you and cut you off on the bank you are fishing with your tm.

People that start crowding you while you are catching fish.

People that tell you there the only ones that know anything else about xyz lake.

The guy at the tackle shop that told me I didn't want the rod I was looking for because I wouldn't want to use it for what I was looking for it for.

Older men who refer to younger grown men as "son" when they are talking to them.

people that always have to be politically correct

A Buckeye Spot Remover is not a Shaky Head!!!!!!!! It's a stand up jig head. It is fished totally different than a shaky head. If it didn't have a flat bottom then it would be a great shakey head just lake the others.

Mine is word usage, people who don't know how to use your/you're and then/than just to name a couple.

Or to/too.

tallydude and broncoboxer probably start to freak when they see I've posted something, because I do everything that they hate, on accident of course

I hate

1.My fellow college students who tell me every morning how drunk they got on the weekend, I'm like dude go fishing its tons more fun and a lot less dangerous

2. x2 loud rap music, close the windows and save yours and my hearing

3. I HATE SNOBY COLLEGE students, like the kind that think that just because there, oops I mean their , so much better just because they have a certain degree or went to a different college. I tell them "And while your still in college trying to convince everyone how smart you are, I'll be out in the world making a living and doing a heck of a lot better then you'll ever be,"

OK I'm done  

UGGGH!!.. the use of "LOL"!!!

is it that much harder to type ONE more letter, to spell "haha" in order to express that you find something humorous???!

LMAO. haha just kiddin'

I gotta say that tangled trebles on the perfect cast is a big one for me, frustrates me to no end.

My biggest tho, is trash at ANY impoundment, in the water or on the shoreline.

When I take my kids out bank fishing, we always take a couple grocery bags or a small garbage bag and you should have seen their faces the first time I told them we had to clean the place up before we left, other peoples garbage included.

Then that look changed to an "oh I seeeeee", when I explained, if it continues to lie here cluttering up the place, how long do you think it might take for the owner of the land to decide to not let people fish here anymore, not to mention that I am quite certain bass dont like swimmming in it any more than you or I would like walking in it.

Cyas,

In this instance the word you're looking for is "they're."

just because they have a certain degree or went to a different college. I tell them "And while your still in college trying to convince everyone how smart you are, I'll be out in the world making a living and doing a heck of a lot better then you'll ever be,"

If that college student truly is an arrogant punk, then I agree wholeheartedly with you. But I believe it's just as bad when a guy who has never attended college assumes that all or most of the folks who did are a bunch of pompous jerks.

Most of them aren't.

so much better just because they have a certain degree or went to a different college. I tell them "And while your still in college trying to convince everyone how smart you are, I'll be out in the world making a living and doing a heck of a lot better then you'll ever be,"

To stay on topic with the thread, this statement is now a pet peeve of mine. Or possibly just ignorance in general.

So because someone tries harder in college to receive a higher degree, that constitutes them as a jerk?

And it's a fact that people with higher degrees have a higher average salary than people with a bachelors or no degree. So it is possible, and probable that they WILL be doing better than you.

Is it soon time to say goodnight to Irene?   8-)

1) People who are rude, loud and don't know simple manners like saying thank you.

2) Traffic. I hate being stuck in traffic.

3) Fishing: I hate it when I buy a lure and something is wrong with it such as a scratch, crack, messed up split ring, etc.

1. Chicago traffic jams at odd hours of the day.

2. Windshield wipers must be down when the car is turned off.

3. When the bottom (elastic) sheet comes off the corner of the bed.

Please understand that I was not talking about college students in general, by the way I am a college student and will enter UNT in the fall, that statement was aimed at a certain person that is truly a snob who won't give you the time of day if your, as he tells me "not at his academic level"

he also has been in college for 12 years, with do degree to his credit, and he still doesn't know what he wants to be when he grows up

I hope no one thought that I was aiming that at all college students, I meet great people all the time at college

And broncoboxer thanks for the grammar correction I could use more of it  

fishingismylife,  I kind of know what you are saying when I was in college those types of people were mainly punks whose parents were getting them through life.  When they found out I was a family man who had to pay my own tuition so I had to work full time while in school they looked down on me.  To them being a life long student milking mom and dad and getting all the grants they can makes them better then everyone else.

12 years of school and no degree? I'm pretty sure I don't want to be "at his academic level"

No worries.  Have a great night and greater fishing!  

I find it hard to believe that it took until the 57th reply for someone to mention jet-skiers. You guys are better than that, everybody feeling ok?

It's been 8 months since we saw one .

It's nice, am I right?  

Unless I missed it, how about people who finish your sentence for you and always get it wrong.

1. People (usually airboats) who run full bore right between the bank I am fishing and myself (I've come dangerously close to taking out eyes with spooks out of anger before)

2. people who park right in front of the boat ramp because it looks like an empty spot - hey geniuses, there is a reason why everyone left that spot open.

3. people who drop their old dead soft plastics on the ground at the tie up area, while I like having a little insight at what everyone else is using on the lake, there are almost always trash cans RIGHT NEXT TO YOU!

4. agreed on boats coming to close to shore anglers...I've gone into the water after them before

5. agreed on not keeping bass...I'd rather be able to catch them again, I'll go  buy some grouper or snapper if I want to eat fish.

6. people who continually ask me if I've found a job IN THIS ECONOMY...you just asked me two days ago, are you serious?

7. people who pull out in front of you when towing a boat or other trailer... I know you think I might be going slow, but it also cuts down on my stopping power and cutting me off isn't the brightest move in the world

8. Tailgaters

When people spell trailer trailor.

people who ask questions that they can find the answer to by using google.

As someone else posted, people who accelerate when you go to pass them which usually means they're increasing their speed by 20 m.p.h. In my youth, I would have said to hell with where I was going and followed them for awhile to scare the holy blank out of them. These days people get shot for less than that (not letting you pass that is).

Tailgaters; I used to want to keep a squeeze bottle of mustard in the car and if someone got real close, wind down the window and give them some Frenchy's to back off. Now I just ignore them (no brake tapping either BTW) and they pass soon enough.

Telemarketers: I want to go buy a airhorn for the next one. Guarantee that one won't be calling me back.
