:Was detecting a soccer field with my back to the street minding my own business and enjoying peace and quite.
Just as I was about ready to turn and go in the opposite direction heard a few horn beeps.
Turned around saw this young women yell something out of the open car window and suggest I get a job plus some swearing ( &^%$(* )
Had the earphones on so was surprised at her outburst and not sure what else she said.
Waved at her with my 10 inch digging tool..
I guess she was insulted as she took off screaming and giving the finger.
Not sure what she was sitting on with that attitude.:wacko:
What she didn't know was that I've been retired since !996 and this is now my job :rofl:
 
Wow amazing Joel!! I just don't understand people sometimes?? Ok most of the time:bouncy:
 
I love it when idiots reveal themselves. I'm sure there was some sort of comment that pre-empted her outburst.
Something like, "Hey look at that doofus over there. What a dweeb..."

The thing that gives me pause over such people is this: What makes them think I give a rats ass about them or their opinion?
 
Some brain dead individuals think their opinion is the only one of value and highly desired by the public. There are so many mind numbing stupid people out there any more it's beyond all comprehension. I think they secretly breed them at an isolated area of Area 51 and then turn them loose on the unsuspecting public. When I was growing up in this country I never came in contact with the likes of the hoards of dildo brains flitting
around out there these days. Just shows the rapid degeneration of the human species.

well said Bill. The less God in society the more dildo brains appear.
 
Man I'm sorry about that. Once a guy asked me what I had found? Of course I said not much just some pull tabs and a few cents. He said "I can find more than that in my couch" I said "well you can't get dirt under fingernails searching your couch" He just wondered away. This whole stinking world if full of jerks!
 
Sorry to hear that Joel, I already feel bad for the lady, what a miserable life she must have to be angry all the time. Nowadays more people just look for any excuse to fight someone and dump their problems to the first person they can. Hope you had some good targets that day!
 
I've been in that situation a couple of times. Once was when I was on holidays on the Gold Coast (Queensland). A fellow walked past me and couldn't help himself. Muttered something about getting a real job. I got a good belly laugh out of it. Another time, I was detecting on a beach next to a caravan (trailer) park. A group of teenagers ( about 8 that seemed to be middle upper class types) started throwing coins in front of me to for their amusement. I ignored them, but the next thing I know is that I'm ducking a full salvo of rocks that the all thew at me. I gave immediate chase, but they had too bigger start on me.
Some folks just don't get this hobby and have to indulge their small mindedness.

I recall once here in canberra Aust when I asked for permission to do a bit of detecting on a local High School Football ground and was told, Sure ,so long as you have at least one million dollars public Liability insurance....Why is that? I asked..... Well if you fell over and hurt youself you might want to Sue the school........What about all the kids and adults who use the grounds at weekends to play footy and chase their dogs, they could hurt themselves also?.....That's different..????

My poor old brain is still trying to figure that one out.

Some people sure have attitude, don't they. If only they knew what sits in our display cabinets. They would surely SHUT-UP!.:devil:
 
Ignorance reveals itself. sometimes educating them helps and sometimes as in the case of the 8 teenagers throwing rocks, only a PLB will suffice. That is
a ( Parking Lot Beating), a wonderful tool and not to be underestimated. As Hank Williams, Jr sang: An attitude adjustment! When I asked for permission to
metal detect this abandoned old corner lot in the small town I grew up in I was told no for insurance reasons. I had mentioned that I was disabled and my doctor recommended that I get some fresh air and sunshine and he thought my metal detecting hobby would suffice. Then she told a member of my church that if I was able to metal detect, I could get back to work. She was going on and on about how fat and lazy I was until my fellow church member mentioned oh yeah, he's a member of our church. That shut her up. I pray for people like that. My grandpa always said to set back and be quiet and folks won't know how dumb you are! ha,ha.
 
Back in the early 70s, a fellow named Ralph Nader lowered the collective IQ of the world, by making a big deal out of the fact that some items and activities could be dangerous.

Back in the day, if you got off of your tractor while the hay baler was running, and got too close, you got the equivalent of Disney's E-ticket ride. (That should give away my age :lmfao: )

You did not live to breed, or if you had been breeding, it immediately stopped, and you effectively departed the gene pool, thus depriving those folks running the Darwin Awards of material that your offspring would have provided.

Now everyfriggingthing has warning labels, and guards, and can be safely operated by a ham sandwich. The idiots continue to breed, and the collective IQ of mankind plummets. (It' an inverse curve, mirrored by the rise in popularity of reality television.)

What you encountered was someone who's ancestor should have grabbed that live highline wire about 35 years ago, but couldn't because it was fenced off with 10 feet of chain link, and barbed wire. (With appropriate warning signs, of course.)
 
Sounds like the encounters I have every so often. Kill em with kindness. Sometimes that just enrages them more, though.

I figured you for a young pup all this time!
