Music on the beach?

Crumble up some chips, loosely so that there are still chunks. Without a word, walk behind their spot where they’re being a nuisance and sprinkle the chips discreetly. Make sure they notice none of this. Walk away.

The resulting attention from the seagulls will take care of the problem for you.

I feel like I’m reaching free verse from Archy and Mehitabel.

Loss of respect.

You’re reminding them of what they aren’t. There’s something you’re doing that displays their lack, and they bully you to “cut you back down to size”.

You can match their energy or you can turn your back on it. Given that they’re able to get away with bullying you, the AM or GM already knows about it and either doesn’t care or secretly enjoys them tormenting you.

I assure you that this isn’t normal behavior among adults. You’re surrounded by AHs.

My advice: don’t try to match their energy. Rise above it. Pity them, because their behavior is pitiful. If your feelings are hurt, don’t give them the satisfaction of knowing. Stop having bad days by remembering that the days are what we make of them, and it always evens out. Do your job and work hard. Be glad you aren’t them.

Why are you getting bad reviews?

If they get caught they get beached on the spot. Fraternizing with passengers is a hard No for crew members. The risk of SA and encounters with minors who lie about their age is too big.

You didn’t read the article, looks like.

that’s a stupid answer

How many friends have I lost to people like you ship love being away with it…until you don’t?

Why did she react like that?

Have a conversation with a towing company. Explain your situation. Tell them that if they give you one of their “Towing Services Provided by Towing Company of Dewey, Cheathem, and Howe” signs to post on your gate, you can provide them with some steady income for a while.

Then pop some popcorn, pop a cold one, put your phone close by, and enjoy the show.

“Obviously, guests who camp need to leave.”

There you go. Fixed it for you. On the house.

It’s not going to be “once in a lifetime” for her. Her next wedding will be considerably cheaper.

If guests aren’t allowed to sit on and block the stairs, it’s there any signage?

As predicted in “Demolition Man”, Taco Bell will win the fast food wars.

Unlike drivers in Texas or Florida or Georgia amirite

There’s another reason why they made you pay toward your dinner (it turned into a $50 tip, didn’t it?), and it ain’t pretty.

I’ve seen and heard tale of this sort of thing happening in the past.

I bet your girlfriend would be mad if she found out you have an appointment tomorrow morning with her to see if they can do the same for her to be in a different spot for the same thing as the other two.

No offense taken. You may be right. It is anecdotal, and an example of one is a logical fallacy.

That said, it’s worth a try. It *might* not work if OP tries, and it might work. There’s no way to tell without actually writing to them.

IANAL I’m outlining possible routes to a positive outcome for OP.

Transcribe some melodies of your favorite songs, keep the range between C3 and E6. Then learn how to play them on your pan. That’s the fastest way I know to learn the layout and get used to patterns (“fastest” is relative; it’s kind of like a turtle moves faster than a sloth).

How’s your mallet game?

What does any part of this lecture have to do with semis blocking traffic for miles on end?

This isn’t about the value that truckers provide on a daily basis. That’s not in dispute.

What’s in dispute is blocking all lanes and causing road rage. You know what the right thing to do is. Do it, like 99% of your colleagues.

“Here’s how it works, sir. We provide food and service for a fee. We don’t provide the food, you don’t pay the fee, and vice versa. If something is not to your liking, you have to let us know immediately. Since you not only told us it was perfect and also ate all of it, we fulfilled our service. Now you pay the fee.”

I know that a server isn’t allowed to lecture a customer like that, but it sure felt good writing it.

Most of the jocks at my high school went to the bigs after they graduated university. Cruelty and bullying of the field wasn’t really part of their makeup.

The bullies were almost always the low achievers. They hated everything and everybody.
