These are the same types who don't pick up their garbage, use the sand as their personal ashtray, blast their own choice of music; also these types don't use their turn signals, park at the curb to "run in" to the grocery store, talk during the movie at the theatre, bring their crying children to an orchestra performance, drive slowly in the passing lane, set their garbage out 2 days before you're supposed to, let the dog poop on your easment. The list goes on and on. Obviously this list is not hazardous to your well-being, but it's amazing that there are those who probably never gave it much thought. It's the rest of us who have to go around and repair the damage. It's looking out for your neighbor.

People need to respect any area they visit. By showing these photos and the ones of the beach falling into to Gulf, maybe people can enjoy the area without causing damage. Just leave the place like you found it!!
When people visit this area (or any resort area for that matter) they somehow feel some bizarre sense of entitlement. They think they can do what they want, when they want, without any modicum of guilt, remorse or any other typical human emotion.
"Hey, I'm paying $2,500 for a week down here. If I want to dig holes in the beach, throw a bucket of chum in the surf, ride my scooter in the middle fo 30-A doing four miles an hour, ruin others meals with my monstrous children, etc. then that is what I'm going to do." And all this will continue until someone threatens to whip Daddy Don't-give-a-damn's butt.
Next time I'm down, I'm going keep an eye out for the hole-diggers. If it's not filled in at the end of the day, the parent responsible will either be filling it in themselves the next day or I'll find another use for their shovel.

Probably the same kids who leave the water running.

and their Mother is the one who stands in the check-out line at Publix on a Saturday having a nonsensical conversation on her cell phone while the cashier is waiting for her to pay; her kids are destroying the candy counter; and 20 people are behind her in line...
:shock: she is oblivious....oh the joys of living in a resort!

Yes!! When we went to the Bahamas last year, full well understanding that fresh water is scarse there, we were still on the ferry dock when we watched a family with a few small children run over, rinse off their feet at the public faucet, turn away and leave it running. Mr. JR walked over and turned it off but I knew he wanted to "educate" them. It was their responsiblity, not their 3 yr. olds. Even if it wasn't in an area that has to collect water in a cistern, it's scarse anywhere, imo.
Oh that happens here too. Ridiculous. My biggest pet peeve is when you're waiting to pull out of a parking lot onto a busy street and there's a line of cars pulling past you and there is always ONE CAR that pulls up and blocks you from pulling out! That just puts me over the edge. Talk about oblivious.
(Sorry, this has turned into a pet peeves thread.
