just another ramp rant

[netmaker]

do rude pricks grow on trees these days or something? i could not believe this bloke at raby bay this morning. on my way back in just after 10am i notice a bit of activity at the ramp. someone is putting in a pontoon. dirty big crane there with its legs spread out took up 3 and 1/4 of the 4 lanes at the ramp. on the right there was a jet ski and a seajay with a 40hp on back, then the crane and just enough room on the left to get the trailer down. figured the seajay and jetski were with the pontoon as they had no trailer access on that side. i figured wrong. old mate with the seajay who had been gas bagging with the pontoon people all of a sudden bolts to his car and as i'm half way to my car he reverses his trailer down the left side, parks it and then walks round the crane and starts his boat to bring it to the correct side of the ramp to put on his trailer. he had been yakking since i could see him on my way back in and beat me out the carpark by less than 10 seconds.
where do they come from?
at least i brought home 13 sandies...

Are they for the BBQ tomorrow night Dave?

[cobiaman]

I think he said he is saving them for friday night

[Scott Ashe]

Well done with the Sandies mate. Enjoy

It's only fair that you buggers who get to go out any old time should suffer the rude ramp users like we weekenders do too.

It's your own fault for having such a sweetly set up life Nettie. :)

Do I sound jealous?

so long as i get dinner for the missus tonight the rest will come with me to wooli. was pretty happy with the result for a few hours. i left 3 out which i will bring home tomorrow and hopefully will have a few more to throw on the barby with some of bruces chili oil.

sorry graeme. barby night is thursday. pub or chinese friday - cant remember which.

[daveo17]

hows the water colour out that way?

[netmaker]

still a bit brown but obviously not too fresh for the crabs any more.

[LittleSkipper]

Me personally I can't see the big deal that your old mate in the Seajay beat you to the punch before you did?

Perhaps his legs are faster than yours?

[netmaker]

i think it is known as etiquette or consideration. it is poor form to hold other ramp users up because you are talking. only 1 lane was available and he had been parked on the wrong side of the ramp since the ramp was in my view. i hardly sneaked up on them with my 2 stroke. i would truly hope that ramp etiquette doesn't come down to who can run faster as it won't get any better for me from here on in...

[marto78]

You obviously weren't best dressed today mate. 8-)

Bloody crane drivers chatting to boaties and taking up all the lanes >:(>:(

LOL Netmaker ;D

[TREVELLY]

He might have shown you some respect if you had a 4 stroke ;D

And if not at least you could have snuck up and beaten him to the car.

Nah his shirts are too loud to sneak up on anyone...... :)

Maybe he was negotiating with the crane operator to lift his boat boat onto his trailer and just as you arrived was told to F--- off. Life apparently revolves exclusively around himself and you just don't matter.Thought everyone knew that. I have heard that the Bay is crawling with crab at the moment,well done. Jim

I like to always be nice. Usually ends up making people feel like they are a being a tool (unless they under influence of drugs, alc or extreme stupidity.)

Sometimes there comes a time not to be nice but most morons wake up to themselves before then.
