Rights

MeEscape · 07-30-2019, 01:09 PM

IMHO, this thread exemplifies what is wrong in our society today.

Someone comes late to the party and uses a dock that they don’t have a “right” to use. Then they are, maybe, a bit slow or lazy at moving the boat away.

Immediately the discussion goes to “MY rights” and then to most every suggestion short of blowing the boat out of the water. My guess is that could be coming soon. Sounds like a great neighborhood!

There appears to be some sort of history with a prior owner/generation, but I suspect whoever left the boat at the dock was simply, at best, moving slow or just on a different schedule than others.

Maybe, just work it out without the dramatics!

I think the history defines the recourse. If you're so chill give me the keys to your car and I'll give it back when I feel like. My timing may no suit your timing. I may be slow or lazy. After all, your so-called "rights" in your car can't be any more or less than the so-called "rights" of the dock owner.

Please, their schedule has nothing to do with trespassing on someones property! Lucky it wasn't mine I would have had it towed as soon as I didn't see a note explaining why it was there. And to answer your statement that as a dock owner you have no right to be upset that someone dumped a boat where it shouldn't be docked I should wait. SORRY YOU ARE 100% WRONG!

This is one of those trolling attempts right? I mean I can never tell. I get asked some pretty incredible questions all the time and well it's my job to answer them so I always assume the person asking is serious but in this case this is a joke, right?

I guess I bit. I'm trying to get the hook out of my mouth.

Just goes to show how this nation has devolved... I'm pretty sure it won't end well in the near future.

If so, Good trolling. 68 responses. However, the OP came back with additional info about a court order, which I think was crucial. I just don't know here, but I've been in similar situations so I give the benefit of the doubt to the OP.

OP: It would seem that you do indeed have a viable remedy.

Given that you have a court order prohibiting them from using your dock, your remedy is to file an action for contempt of court (or whatever the equivalent action is called in the Granite State).

My guess it’s the “chill” kid that used the OP’s dock...sounds just like one of the “me me me” me-linniels...

Sorry but you have it back-asswards...
What is “wrong in our society” is exemplified in...wait for it....YOUR OWN POST.
You portray exactly, the kind of attitude that is taking this country down.
Chill my ass...
