Judging others

I'm sure he did when he was sat way up in his cab.

No, in Goole. He made his twatishness fairly obvious when he arrived ..... the whole of the 72 hr section was empty ..... a good 3 to 400 feet.
I watched him arrive then trickle down the length of the moorings and eventually stop and moor up fully half of his length over the (already fairly short) water point mooring at the end. At first I thought he was going to take on water and then back up ...... however when I came back from shopping about 2 hours later he was still there moored with a spiders web of rope backwards and forwards between boat and bollards completely filling up both of the bollards so that no one else would be able to get a line on it. (Not an unusual state of affairs with many boaters, in my book bad manners and on a par with using a bollard that someone else already has a loop round and going over the top of them stopping them from being able to flip it off instead of feeding through) However it was his belligerent attitude when someone in a large boat wanted to get to the water point and asked him to move. He came out with a whole load of crap about people always wanting him to move and how he was entitled to stay for a few days. When the other boater pointed out it said 1 hour maximum at the water point. He spouted some more crap about he wouldn't be able to fit between bollards if he moved back and anyway he hadn't been to school and couldn't read and write.
It was that point I couldn't help but join in and pointed out that the water point was marked in symbols and even a total wazac could read that...... which earned me a sob story about how just 'cos he was uneducated everybody picked on him. If he is still there in another day or so, I think I might go and get some water .... and use him as a fender.

Name and number and report to CRT, take photos and post here so we can take the piss out of him. Can't you arrange it for someone to cut the water off from that tap until he goes? Or go to your nearest Tesco's and tell the Romanian car-washing gippos there's a bloke who wants his boat washing and direct them to it.

I do not often see a link between scruffy boats and arseholes.

Sadly the same can't be said for expensive shinny large boats - be that oversized narrow boats (with or without rivets) or twin engined gin palaces.
The common denominator between those two are they are normally skippered by a retired wealthy self entitled knob jockey.

This summer I can count on one hand the amount of arseholes we met - thankfully we met many more pleasant people on all manor of boats out enjoying the exceptional summer we were lucky to have had.
The twats do stay in your memory but more often than not they provide a good tale to tell at the bar 🚢👍🍻

High Six! 👍🍻
