I have almost ZERO wake - next to nothing but he goes on a tangent. I dock my boat and tie it up and he comes stomping down the finger dock yelling at me about the wake (it?s long wooden floating finger dock). I ignore him, he?s like 5'8 and 160 lbs soaking wet, I?m 6'3 and over 300lbs. He?s in a RAGE, and calls me a bunch of names.I know there?s no reasoning with him so I do the smart thing and walk away. As I?m walking away I reach my breaking point and I turn and bark out ?fuck off? to him. He stops cold. I can be scarry when I want to be. I continue to walk away and he starts yelling that he?s going to report me to the harbor master. In true GFY spirit I turn and tell him to make sure he tells mommy too. This sends him into a TOTAL fit - he curses and yells and scurries off to the harbor master?s office. 20 mins later I get a call from the harbor master, seems he freaked out in there too. The harbor master didn?t believe him though, the idiot didn?t? realize that I?ve known the harbor master for my whole life and I grew up with and am good friends with his son.
Afterwards keep thinking about how I wanted sooooo bad to toss that little fucker into the lake. But I know that if I laid a hand on him, even in total self defense, he would charge me and all a judge would see is 6'3 300+lbs me and 5'nothing 160lbs him.

Something similar happened to me this summer...a man around 50 or so started yelling at me about our wake. We were actually doing wakeboarding but there were only us and him on the whole damn lake. It's not a little lake, there are like 200 boats parked on it. It was late, like 9 Pm so there was nobody on the lake. The guy was screaming like a maniac. We stopped to talk to him and he started yelling at us, ordering us to move away as it was, according to him, HIS SPOT on the lake...I asked him to be more polite and tried to reason him but he kept ordering us to get the fuck out of HIS SPOT! I got sick of that annoying bastard so I started to get angry and told him to go fuck himself and a bunch of other stuff ...apparently he didn't like it and started threaten us of kicking our asses...the man was like 50 or so with his daughter..we were three 26 years old guys ...it's not like he was frightening you know....I knew we couldn't do anything about it so we just continued wakeboarding while the old man kept screaming like a damn fool...
