1) Being Late and Showing up with Extra People, is it ok? NO
2) Can't the 2 girls I just met at the bar pile in and sit on the floor? NO
3) Oh you're smoking can't I smoke? IM PROBABLY SMOKING BECAUSE YOU DID SOMETHING TO IRRITATE ME
4) Shut your girlfriend up, I don't give a **** what drama she brought to the table nor do I care about what ***** looked at her wrong while you're a GUEST with me.
5) People who get too drunk and think it's funny or acceptable to act like morons, while it negatively reflects ME who is the one bringing them out to whatever destination we end up at.
6) You have to be back at whatever time, tough ****...doesn't hurt to want...
7) You want to bring your girlfriends, that's nice, they better do something other than text in the back seat.
8) Can we come out for a blast, you know like around here me and my drunk girlfriends are fun, please please please...*ahem, *uck off*
9) Don't even try to help me dock, I can do it myself...DON'T RUSH ME, FEND THE BOAT OFF...DO SOMETHING USEFUL
10) LISTEN WHEN I TELL YOU SOMETHING...DONT PULL MY BOW IN OR TRY TO TELL ME HOW TO DOCK MY BOAT, I know how to do it just fine, and it's usually someone else who screws it up in a 15knot wind, I get it perfect then someone moron attempts to grow a brain.
11) You left your wallet? Good, I'll leave you...
12) DONT INVITE RANDOM PEOPLE OUT AT THE BAR BECAUSE THEY BOUGHT YOU A DRINK...
13) We're going to run hard in some big water, PUT ON A JACKET WHEN I TELL YOU TO. "Aww it'll mess up my bikini, or I don't need one.." "You will when you fly out of the damn boat and drown..."
14) I back down 400ft with less than 3ft on each side of me, and nudge up perfectly and the ******* in the sport fish has the nerve to go "don't scratch my paint". Really because I put a fender covered in felt over my side and made sure I came in at about 1mph, avoiding every obstacle just to listen to your arrogant attitude about your *ucking silverton...While 20 minutes after, "HEY CAN WE COME CHECK OUT YOUR BOAT"
...yea look over the side, there's a cockpit, that doesn't mean WALK ALL OVER IT...
This started off as funny, now I realized how many things actually do piss me off...haha

This is another one that never ceases to amaze me. Like most of you all I have a routine for when I am getting ready to leave the dock with the boat- lift the hatch, fire the engines, check the strainers, open the cabin door, turn on and adjust the stereo, fire up the GPS, etc, etc, etc. More than once I fire up the engines and I am checking everything in the bilge when I notice the boat is floating away. WTF?! One of my passengers has taken it upon themselves to untie the boat (stern first, letting it float out, of course) and jump on. Oh, so I guess we're leaving right this instant? Instead of going through my checklist I need to run to the helm and pilot my boat through this very busy marina or ICW. Now I'm trying to get everything done (lines away, stereo on, cover off the GPS and coordinates entered) while I'm driving the boat at the same time. It seems crazy but I'm telling you this happens to me a lot. I know people are just trying to help, but seriously what makes somebody think it is okay to just untie a boat like that?

EFI, no issues anymore
I have a solution for that now, I'll just untie their bikini straps...when they look at me strange I'll just reply "What, you touch things that don't belong to you too..." or something to that effect, still working on that one...

We get grief sometimes about our male lab and female white german shepherd at the lake house for shedding, shaking off water, etc. NOBODY enjoys the lake more than they do. I use them to weed out the uptight people.
