I had a Bajafun day at the beach.....
Yes, you! For the two knuckleheads that resided under the umbrella at the beach outside of San Jose Del Cabo, I decided to post your pictures here at
the forums! Here you are Mr. And Mrs. Cute couple, as we and a few hundred other beach goers perceived you, all day long!
Thanks for the day at the beach, with your boom box blasting out what you may have conceived to be as music! Boom, boom, and more freaking booms. I
was hoping to the Gods, that you would get electrocuted as you turned that dial! Boom, boom and more booms. The Gods did not answer my prayers.
Oh?them cigarette butts that you were twitching out into the sand, I am sure that they will magically disappear during the night. Dude?your (and
everyone else?s) cigarette butts end up under my beach blanket the next day. My young kids go shell collecting, and your butts are in the mix! I
suppose that statement is a little stretched since most of your butts washed into the sea during high tide during the night. It?s no wonder that so
many fish are smoking these days!
Did you know that there were garbage cans at the trail?s entrance? That?s where I took your crap that you left half buried under the sand, you lazy
bastard! Glass breaks. Hello? Anyone home? How many times have I encountered cut feet of my kids and my own?because you were too lazy to rid the
trash. Oh?sorry?I forgot you were too drunk to care about anything much of your actions at that beach.
We all loved the loud mouth you presented after beer number nine. I had no idea that your relationship with Mrs. Cute was so bad! Hell?you berated
her the better part of the day with such fantastic accusations! Did you know that Mrs. Cute kept putting cigarette butts into beer number 8 and 9, as
you weren?t looking? Ah! You were too drunk to notice that foul taste of the brew.
Once again?. thanks for letting us enjoy our day at the beach.
What control freaks there are here. Don\'t believe that post you just read!

Yankee I'm afraid that if you cant stand the music and cigarette butts. you had better bring some tranquilizers with you when you move down here. the
music is a very important part of the culture here and the louder the better. when a Mexican person plays his or her music loud it is looked upon as
sharing or doing a free service for others. here if you have music and enough speakers and equipment to make it go loud and you don't then you are
cheep for not sharing. this is some thing every one must learn soon after coming to Mexico. If you go to a fiesta and the host sets you in front of
the speakers your are being given a seat of honer and if you refuse it you wont be invited back.

One step ahead of you Bruce.....ear plugs! You know...it was an tourist doing
this crazy beach act! "If you go to a fiesta and the host sets you in front of the speakers your are being given a seat of honer and if you refuse it
you wont be invited back." Thats new to me, I never knew that. I learn alot about Mexico here at the forums...though I have been going to Mexico for
19 years! Who says old dogs cant be taught new tricks? Arf arf.
bajaruby...no no. This trip was a four or so months ago. There's no way would I be in Baja right now...I'd be missing all the fine postings here!

Thanks Yank.
"There's no way would I be in Baja right now
and broiled Gringo is a nasty site anyway...
I am sure they were having (hic) fun. The only "other" way to beat em is to drown em out with "bigger" music of the listening variety.

Yankee, to get what you want you have to ask. What's wrong with asking to turn down the music or pick up the trash?

Encounters of the Drunk Kind
The problem with confronting people who behave badly, especially if they've been drinking, is that the conversation can go South quickly. Up here in
the E.U.A. I have NEVER attempted such a conversation unless I first put a firearm behind me under my shirt. You just never know. The newspapers are
replete with stories of neighbors shot or beaten for asking someone to stop bad behavior.
Many years ago, I was at a Mickey Thomson off-road event at Riverside Raceway. At the end of the day, the crowd was jostling for the exits. A guy
next to me got cut off by a drunk. He said "hey, watch it". The drunk stopped, turned, looked at him through glazed eyes and then belted him in the
jaw full force without ever saying a word. He then walked off while we were trying to help the victim. The Vic learned a lesson that day.

Having been in the NightClub business for years.....I learned that you cant reason with tweekers or drunks without a confrontation. I'm a big boy and
can take care of myself in most cases...but I am not bout to stir an hornet's nest with my children around. Besides the music..I cant really tell
anyone what to do with their trash, much less smoking habits. Too many marooons out there to ask!
MrBillM ...sounds like we have old stories to share!!!!!!

Is it possible that this desciption would not apply if the couple under the umbrella were Mexicans native to Baja? Is it only wrong if people of an
outside demographic do these things you consider wrong?
Oops, I read through the thread an see that Brucie beat me to it.

Nope, if the locals do it, it's wrong. If the foreigners do it, whereever they are from, they are acting like P-nche gringos in a foreign country!

This thing should do the trick. I have seen one at a constuction site. It is very powerful.

Nope
If you do it in your own country, yer just a disrespectful slob.
If you travel around and do it, it is basically how the term (P-nche gringo) got started. And not by me!
