Pet hates that people do

[Rumrace]

Calm down guys the thread is about cute animals isn’t it. No.
I hear ya but. There is revenge and forgiveness. Then there is just plain stupid you can’t fix.
On day heading for the swing bridge on a 400 SeaRay Sedan and a 36 Aft Cabin Carver with zero wake passing two canoes with sweet young Canadians near five mile bay. I bigger badder Carver shows up full bore Swamped the canoes flipping both and knocking boats around on the Dock. I swung about to render assistance to the Canoe. Jack got on the Radio and called the swing bridge outside Parry Sound. The bridge gave the boater a lecture and called OPP out to read him the riot act. An hour later we show up at the swing bridge. Big Caver still tied up at the bridge as we pass.

Further up in the South Channel I See a beautiful Merridian 40. A distinct mint green and white. It has a new owner and he’s running full plow bow high probable 2000 rpm on his 454. In front of me are new boaters on a Doral Citation ( Flipped Bayljnder 2450) the Merridian submerges the Doral oblivious to the damage. The plough hits me I hear that tell tale flaw in the kitchen creek wave at him. He has a huge gold chain and a white comb over streaming behind his head.
I meet him weeks later in port staton I watched him dock twins with the wheel like a single. Sat down with him. Told him why some boaters wave back with one finger. I told him about the damage he did to the Doral who we were on the hook with that night. Turns out he’s a sweet old guy decided to get an expensive boat. He boats like a gentleman now. Very forgivable.

Exactly. My sailboat at 8kt leaves less wake than my dinghy at 3kt. The dinghy makes less wake at 15kt than it does at 8kt. Personally in a no wake zone, it's as much about the danger of hitting something because you're going too fast for the area, as it is the wave.

That said, those 40-70' planing hull boats going through the anchorage at speed make me want to get out some artillery, especially when I'm unfortunate enough to be 65' off the water working on the masthead.

Now I get it. And here I thought it was gonna be another "are dogs or cats or parakeets or hamsters better?" thread.


The OP could save some time by rethinking "hate" and do a search on peeves, as in pet peeves. It's done about once every six months, usually near the end of a northern continent's winter, and the results are pretty predictable. Only the meme pictures change.



Maybe it's just a Canadian Eeenglush thing?

When people compete in cleaning up the spilt milk. My kittens become peeved with that.

My cat & I get annoyed:When this guy gets to the clam flats first. When some tenders carry more than mine.Hull.jpg Views: 96 Size: 93.7 KB ID: 257190" style="margin: 2px" />When some tenders take up too much dinghy dock.
When uncharted? rocks pick on me.

This would almost belong to the joke thread if it wasn’t this cute!

One of my biggest pet peeves, is the unnecessary politicisation, of everyday conversation.
People who do that, are friggin’ Nazis.

FWIW: The inventor of autocorrect died today.
Rust in peeve.

Q: What’s my biggest pet peeve?
A: People who ask a question, just so they can give their own answer to it.

[Scorpius]

People who anchor close enough to me that I can see them.

Sez the man making a political declaration..

Which pet? The cat doesn't care as long as you continue to serve him. The dog will go along with whatever you want to do with joy...

In mast furler foils clanging away with no sail
slapping halyards because it’s unnecessary just take tension off the line and give it a little bow.
Loud music and loud drunks after midnight.
Anchor fouling fools
Racers that shout “we are racing”.
Individuals Fishing in a narrow navigation channel up set that I am in close proximity, agitated and unaware of what “restricted by draft” means.
The way my insurance has doubled
Unnecessary wakes
Regulations that are choking boaters and marine industry businesses.
Green energy that’s not green
Hypocrites
Naming Just a few and I feel better thanks.

The boat bunny doesn’t feel hate. She just- is.
Something to aspire to.
