It doesn't matter what beach you are at, whether it is in Florida or California, there are distinct types of people you see at all of them. Despite how totally different all of these people are, somehow they can all be perfectly exemplified by characters from "How I Met Your Mother." Here are the 7 types of people you probably saw on the beach this spring break:
1. The lady who doesn't know she's 80 years old
At every beach you go to, there is always someone's grandmother there who seems to have forgotten she is 80 years old. I don't even hardly wear bikinis, so maybe she shouldn't either. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad she is still thriving on the beach. However, I'm not glad that I am seeing quite so much of her.
2. The total frat bro (who really wants you to know he is in a frat)
You all know the kid who wears his frat like a badge. In fact, you probably know quite a few of these guys, since they usually travel in packs. We get it Brad and Chad. You shotgun beers. You pull girls. You love your brothers, but no homo. We all can still probably guess that you are in a fraternity, so maybe just pick either your hat, jersey, or tank top to wear today, instead of all three at once.
3. The painfully extra sorority girl
If you don't post a picture with a flag displaying your sorority's letters draped around your shoulders, then are you even in a sorority? If you forgot your flag at home, then you better take a million pictures gazing in the distance or laughing at absolutely nothing, to make up for the fact you're clearly a disappointment to your entire house. Don't forget a clever caption like "Beach day!"
4. The pre-teen kid who hits on everyone
You have to respect the kid who throws a ball next to a group of tanning girls "on accident." Although I'm not sure some kid with braces has ever successfully pulled this move off, you have to give him credit for trying.
5. The dilf with his kids
Why are the hottest dads always on the beach? It brings baby fever to an all-time high when you see a hot dude playing with his kids in the sand.
6. The guy who brings his dog to attract girls
You think you can just waltz in here with your dog and get a girl to talk to you? Yes, you absolutely can. That is exactly what they will do. It's too hard to resist the urge to pet a cute dog. Well played sir, well played.
7. The family who plays music way too loud
"If you like piña coladas..." plays for the third time in an hour, and you desperately want to turn around and let this guy know that you get it. You're on the beach. It's a beachy song. Very clever. Now please stop playing it.
There are so many different types of people who visit the beach, but at the end of the day, they are all just characters from "How I Met Your Mother." Whether you are a Brad and Chad or a skimpy-bikini-clad grandma, the beach is a place for you all to come together.
