I made a thread last weekend about the total lack of beach etiquette from both kids and adults. Un-freaking-believable.
Someone stole my iPod earlier in the summer from my shoe while I was in the water. My nasty, smelly running shoe!

We were on vacation in FL a few years ago and I went down to the beach by myself to take a walk in the early evening. I left my old flip flops in the sand & when I came back they were gone. Even worse was that I had to walk across a parking lot & busy street barefoot to get back to our condo.

Idiots. Unfortunately, I know someone like that in real life. I just don't get that mentality.

What the hell is wrong with these people? I especially liked when the woman got all snappy for being filmed. I'm glad it ended up on the Internet and hope that she's seen it. Not like it would change her future behavior, but I don't mind a little public shaming when it's necessary.

She was mad because she embarrassed. Not sure what they were thinking. Idiots.

I absolutely love the fact that they got caught, and that this is on the internet going viral.
I will never understand why someone who is caught in the wrong doesn't apologize, but instead gets defensive or even aggressive.

I was looking at other sites that linked this video, and I love that most of these sites are calling the ladies elderly. The one in red looks like she could possibly be in her late forties, maybe early fifties.

What scares me even more is that they are probably parents. What the hell are they teaching their kids??

Wow! I am speechless. You are caught, red-handed, and then want to get mad about it??? I'm going on vacation next week and we haven't had this problem at the beach I go to, but maybe I'll keep the phone handy just in case. LOL

Okay, so the first thing I need to say is that I absolutely do not condone theft of any thing at all ever. But. I am a dork. A big old dork who is quite often forgetful and doesn't always pay attention to her surroundings. And I can get turned around and confused at the drop of a hat. While I have never started to abscond with a beach canopy, I HAVE accidentally plopped my fat ass in someone else's chair. I have stood over what I thought was all my shit and reached a hand into what I thought was my cooler and grabbed a water. What I am saying is that I have, on more than one occasion made my self at home at someone else's beach station because I was totally not paying attention. I am not saying that these women were like me and just royally messed up and were masking their humiliation with anger, or if they were really trying to steal his stuff-but I appreciated his initial approach that allowed for an error.  I love going to the beach with my kid. He keeps me steered in the right direction.  |

Someone might have thrown them away thinking they were trash if they looked immediately straight in the water and didn't see anyone. |

I mean I would have to know how many hours was the canopy sitting there unattended. Or maybe their chairs were just down the beach somewhere. |

At the very end of the video, I hear a slap. I wonder if the angry woman in red slaps the guy with the camera.

I sometimes get that same sound on some of my videos when I stop recording, if I'm out in the wind. Not sure why it does that. |

In the comments is another video of a woman stealing rhubarb. Wow. Just wow! Also someone in the comments section wrote that the woman in the red bathing suit attempted a crotch grab and that by the time the cops arrived the women were gone.

I read on the thread I linked (the comments on Jezebel) that the guy (the one filming it) called the police after one of the women "went after" his testicles. By the time the police arrived, the women had gone.
I am just agog at the nerve. It completely doesn't shock me that people will steal things OR that they will be all, "WHAT? Really? This isn't my stuff???" when caught. But to attack the man??? Ha! They had to know, when they got mad, that the video was evidence of their crappy behavior.
When we are at our community pool, I put my phone under my towel and at the bottom of our large, junk-filled beach bag. At the beach, I do the same, but DH HATES to leave our stuff unattended, so unfortunately, we never get to go down to the water all together, because DH is afraid of thievery. After this, after seeing this COMPLETELY obvious theft attempt, I now get it better than I did before.
People are just ... ugh. UGH.
And I hope someone figures out who they are. SHAME THEM!

Fox & Friends Sunday did a story on this. It was entertaining & the hosts kept referring to the ladies as grandmothers. I agree, they don't look that old.

Or maybe their chairs were just down the beach somewhere. But they MUST have known it wasn't theirs however long it had been there unattended. There were other things around, the boards etc. You can hear him tell them that it's his, his bag, his kids..... But it doesn't really matter whether the canopy had been there for hours, it was NOT theirs to take. I wonder what happened next! |

Wow. We had someone really truthfully take down our tailgate after a game. The one closest to the building was gone without a trace and they just miscounted. We walked up as they figured it out, they didn't see us until they were already talking about how they goofed. It was the last game of the season and we all were always in the same spots. We all had a good laugh.
