Trash

I was working at a hotel toward the south end in WB and a frat group from duke stayed there. After their first day at the beach I managed to fill 3 giant trash bags from what they left. The tide was coming up and the garbage was getting washed out.

There was at least 4 brand new expensive beach towels in the water. I kept those ha.

So much trash in the water though. The hotel got a huge fine because of them. I was super short with them after that. Fu$king spoiled frat boys with zero respect for anything but their crokies and pastels.

 

Yah. We bring bags & collect trash when at AI. Take it out when we leave & dump it in the bins near the air hoses.

The summer people leave notably more trash on the beach than do the autumn, winter & spring folks.
Humans are a virus.

 

yes, whenever I walk the dog, I always bring some grocery bags and fill them with trash.

Unsupervised brats and alcoholics are the biggest offenders (the homeless camp out in the dunes year 'round here...but the non-homeless alchy/druggies are just as big litterbugs). Smokers tend not to give a sh!t about anything or anyone...including themselves. To a lesser extent, seagulls, ravens and racoons pick trash out of dumpsters and leave it wherever. It all adds up to a giant mess that everyone else has to look at and deal with.

 

Good on ya guys for picking up after the low-rent beach slobs. But, I think I'd draw the line on picking up used rubbers (I know, you said the wrappers).
I've been involved in roadside clean-up efforts (not in orange coveralls - at least not since my college days), and it just gets me how some people just plain....stink when it comes to taking responsibility for cleaning up after themselves.

 

I always try and leave the beach in better condition then when I got there. People are ignorant and it drives me nuts seeing what they carelessly throw in the sand. I wonder if they'd throw that crap on there living room floor.

 

Yes, but only on the beach.

 

Sometimes... Walking off the beach I'll often grab something and toss it into the can on my way to the car. If everybody did that, there'd be nothing left.

BTW... I saw a sea turtle while I was fishing yesterday. Saw his head pop up twice. Nice thing to see. I think it's good luck.

 

Hell no. In fact, I dump my trash on the beach. High tide takes it away man, so why not?? Also, when I get to the beach at dawn, I usually take a dump. It is fun to see kids walk in it as I surf. But, hey that's me....a fun guy!!!








just kidding of course.......

 

Always pick up stuff on my way out. CAn't get all of it but I get some. Fishing line, and human detritus in general, makes my blood boil.

In the world I see, these trasngressions are punishable by scalping, swimming offenders to the bottom for a bit, burying waste deep at low tide, et al.

 

Moonbeam, trees need hugs too, just like Mick Fanning.

Riley and I gave a great Pine tree some herb once.

 

Wrapping fishermen up in their own crappy discarded fishing line would be good, too.

 

Better to see a turtle popping up than a turd!

 

Always can count on the thousands of stumbling drunks in cocoa to leave sh!*t everywhere... it disgusts me but ppl don't care even the cops just let em hang out at the various beach accesses and get annihilated while they throw their **** everywhere.

 

Quick story.

I lifeguard a private beach. The other day at work it was almost closing time and the beach looked like crap so I did a quick beach cleanup. Some lady kept thanking me. After work she saw me and invited me over for a cold one. "SURE!".

I sat over by their group and drank a Stella and a Summer Shandy. Yucks.

Anyway her husband who was hammered started calling me GQ. So I told him I could out eat him in steak and beer. He then proceeded to say yeah your the reason why when im ****ing my wife she says "oooooo bubonics!!!!"

So....thanks for the beer. See ya. I GTFOutta there.
