If you tie up such that you are blocking someone or if you tie up to the second or third post from the end, then you should expect to have your boat moved. Some people like to take two spaces when they park their car. You can't move a car but when you tie up at a busy dock such that you take up move space than necessary then you shouldn't be surprised if your boat is not exactly where you put it.

The second or third post from the end thing is really annoying. Just what are people thinking when they do that?
Well a Jet-Ski may have been there or a smaller boat. You are taking quite a risk by touching someone's boat. What you THINK you are seeing can quite often be a very different story. Did you read the whole thread before you posted?

You never know who's boat you're moving and never mind the liability you better be ready to explain to the crowd of 7 guys standing around you asking you why you are touching their boat.
