Why should bennies go home?

We prefer to be called "Central" Jersey not north.

 

Exactly the situations I witnessed all weekend long. Complete disregard for any kind of common courtesy or respect of others. The human race is f#cked.

 

most of the bennies are drowning this year in VB. I'm not even kidding, every time I see something floating around I almost assume it's a body. At least they are starting to self regulate...

 

Yes, this is probably how they treat their hometown parks and public places. It is a level of ignorance that I simply do not understand, but witness on a near daily basis. Granted I live in NYC and not on the beach so maybe because there's so much trash floating around this city as it is, they just figure their gum wrappers, cigarette butts, and water bottles don't matter and somebody will clean it up after them. Either that or they think trash just evaporates.

I've noticed the same thing from Long Beach, NY to Ocean City, MD to Huntington Beach, CA though. People just leave trash on the beach with garbage cans all over the place. I feel like if cops would seriously enforce litter laws, then maybe people would learn a lesson, but I doubt it. I think they really just don't care about their hometown, so why should they care about someone else's?

 

Trashy people make trash. That is, if you're leaving your trash on the beach, etc or throwing it where it shouldn't, YOU ARE WHITE TRASH.

 

shoobie,lol you must have watched a lot of rocket power back in the day.you think those trash pics someone posted is bad,then you dont want to come to the beaches in monmouth cty.my trash pics would make you cry,im talkin countless broken bottles,crackpipes,tampons,dutch wrappers,little weed baggies,diapers,etc..the list goes on.i volunteer everytime they do a beach cleanup,and everyone should do the same.just know all the trash that piles up on my beach,at high tide with a northerly wind pushes all that trash down to ocean and atlantic counties.bennies are annoying but there would be no jersey shore without them.face it,they bring all the business,all the money,and if there were no more bennies,your parents would lose their business on the boardwalk and be forced to move inland far from the waves.im not able to be on the beach everyday,only when its atleast head high with west winds and im out there from 5 am to 930pm.i got my cooler,my beers,and my grub.i have a blast everytime,and i never seem to run into any of these internet toughguys that plauge this forum.

 

Not Jersey, Not bennies but out of the same mold enjoyed the Sea Gull revenge. A large family group with tubs of KFC fried chicken for day @ the beach. Some tore into the tubs throwing the half eaten chicken legs on the sand before cooling off in the water. The Gulls circled the area then landed chewing on the bones then tipped over the tubs of KFC for a feeding frenzy, it was finger licking good not to mention all the laughter from other beach goers. The families returned to a grave yard of bones and scrape KFC paper, WTF. What pigs, they didn't bother to clean it up the mess and left the KFC tubs and bones on the sand for the flies, sometimes you can't make chicken soup out of chicken $hit, just say'n.

 

you, sir, are a moron. no one said anything about internet tough guys. only that those who visit the beach towns act w/ at least a little class & respect. not too much to ask, i think. basic manners & all that.

the shoobie term was coined back in the early 1900's & has nothing to do w/ that cheesey, exploitive cartoon show from the late 90's ( for which i am thankfully too old).
also, my livelihood has nothing to do w/ my parents. & the towns would survive w/out the visitors. the populations would shrink, the economy would dwindle, but there are those (like myself) who would find a way to survive here, just like people survived here before the influx of entitled, self-important, & self-centered SHOOBIES. the tourist dollar is not the only thing this area has going for it, though many people seem to think that's the case.

 

It seems that the bennies up north and the bennies here in the south have the same beer preference

 

Hey Cepriano! Whatcha got in that cooler eh? Prosciutto...Capicola....mozz?

 

Up there, the gov't made the oceanfront look so inviting for the tourists but I think all the dredging that's been done actually created many spots with dangerous shorebreak and rips.

 

sniff..sniff..ooh i can smell it.

 

I work at a particular beach bar in Ocean county. i get to deal with these idiots on a daily basis. no class, no regard for the rules, and the world revolves around them. At the end of the day the beach looks like a garbage dump and none of them care. how can people be so clueless?

 

Thats why we call "Dirty Jersey"! Here in North Carolina people have more respect for the most part. Actually everywhere has more respect then the north, and I'm from the nicest northern state Connecticut. Thats why I left and so glad I did!

 

its not even the other people from NJ so much as the New Yorkers. They come and trash the place and then talk about how dirty and grose the place is and how the people are all a-holes. i cant tell you how many times i have people say to me, "well this is jersey what can you expect." or "im never coming back to Jersey." which i usually reply with, "we dont want you here anyway."

 

It's not just NYers (although, I must admit, the behavior in my city sometimes disgusts me). This crap goes on all over the country. I was just in CA and went to HB for an evening session and there was a bunch of trash on the beach there (granted probably not as bad as it is on the east coast, but still). A lot of people are just ignorant scum regardless of where they're from.

 

I would say 90% are new yorkers that cause these issues in central NJ. They think since their city smells like piss, crap and trash, that they should make the beach smell the same. Maybe it makes them feel like home.

 

this is a pure myth and if you believe it your probably either a benny who likes to fool himself that he's wanted and valued or a tradesman who has a bed rep among locals and has to rely on vacation rentals to stay busy. Yeah I guess all those $9/hr lifeguard and badge-checker jobs are absolutely crucial to the "local economy." The fact is many of the seasonal businesses actually crowd out other the more stable, more profitable businesses that would otherwise locate here.

 

When the summer is over will this all blow over? Let's get some new material going shall we
