Assholes doing moronic things at the beach.

So over the weekend, I took the family to one final hurrah at the Pacific Ocean coast. The kids love being out on the beach, the water, the sun, and the wind; though the latter got too much such that we ended up leaving.

But besides that, there some other things I found annoying that seem to once again confirm the that stupidiots when out in full force, are the biggest enemy to all things good and positive.

Fortunately for me, and for readers, I finally joined the 21th century and recently got a phone with a camera built into it!

This guy and his son show up and park their SUV no more than 50 feet away from us -

I swear the guy chose the wrong place to park. Seriously, this cannot be more ironic -

On top of that, the guy didn't have his Discover Pass. And he took his son fishing - probably didn't have a fishing permit either. Yeah, what a fine example to set for a child.

To be fair, this wasn't the person stupid enough to be driving out on the beach -

And of course there was this stupid creature running loose foraging for our food, courtesy of its equally stupid owner not more than another 50 feet away-

Yeah - it wasn't there to say hello. It saw our cooler and made a beeline for it. I just happened to get in its way. Later I saw it marking various property of other beachgoers (nice). It tried to come back later, but after I threatened it with violence, it learned to stay away.

Some may think that pets only do what their owners allow them to do, but I assert there is a strong correlation between a stupid pet and a stupid owner. Forget the fact that the animal isn't on a leash, which is against state part rules, such creatures run around bothering people who just want to be left alone, barking, shitting, marking everywhere, and causing no end of trouble to folks like me who are just minding our own business, and didn't ask for this crap.

But the best part?

Not a single state park official in site to enforce any of this.

Of course, they spent a ton of time looking for those damn Discover passes on all the cars in a variety of state parks. Just not the guy up top, and apparently not at the park we went to. And I guess they chose to not enforce any other laws that day too.

It's not the laws (well many laws are unjust, but that's another matter).

It's not the people (there are stupid people everywhere, just as they are idiots, and then there are assholes).

But institutionalized moronicism is truly fucked up.
