I am shocked at how much more rude some people are these days, and to add to the lack of general manners, the "world revolves around them" types seem to be growing in number.
Recently I have also seen a disturbing trend of line jumpers when waiting for dock space in Alton, Meredith, and Wolfboro. Mostly older guys in smaller and older boats just buzz up and slip in front of you and tell you they were there first. I'm not usually in any rush so I dont argue (much) but it is annoying and leaves a very bad taste in your mouth. And make no mistake, its not just old guys in old boats acting badly,,, I complemented some guy on his boats beautiful metalflake finish and I got an ear-full of super ego blowhard chatter about how much it cost and its the best brand, yada, yada, yada. SO much ego, ZERO humility,,,
The lake used to be much more friendly, now it seems to be full of much more arrogant people who are looking for a fight and as much drama as they can generate in front of their group.
Weekends are just a total scratch for me.
