Summer is full of possibilities. With warm weather comes endless opportunities to spend time in the sun and that means days at the amusement park and evenings playings bags by the bonfire. Summer is also the time when tons of people flock to the perfect place to spend a hot day: the beach. When different people from different walks of life all collide in a sandy, open space, crazy things can happen and they often do. Here is a list of the different types of people you find at the beach.
1. The jogger
Most people go to the beach to cool off or relax, but there's always the crazy people out there who actual enjoy physical fitness. These joggers apparently find comfort in sand everywhere and water in their shoes. Not only is sand the worst surface to run on, but the crowds of people all around make jogging pretty tough. Joggers on the beach are there to make you feel bad about stuffing your face with food and laying in the sun. Jogging may keep you healthy, but there is a time and a place.
2. Seagull feeders
The worst, and I mean worst, part of the beach is the seagulls. These demons of flight are nasty creatures who will do anything for one sole Cheeto. Usually they can be kept at bay, but there are always those kids who feel the need to feed and/ or chase the birds and encourage their reckless behavior. These traitors to humankind are often children, unsupervised by their lazy parents until the seagull-mageddon approaches, and then suddenly there were never racing around the beach flinging crackers at the birds in the first place.
3. Nicholas Sparks stars
Every beach has a few couples who have watched "The Notebook" one too many times. These people hold hands, make out in the water and do everything in their power to disgust the rest of us trying to enjoy our day. Obsessed with PDA, these couples are so into themselves they forget that they're in public, and that no one bought a ticket to their romance movie.
4. The sporty spices
These people think the world is their football field. So focused on the amateur game of soccer that they kick sand and run over small children, just to prevent a crucial goal from being scored. The age of these people can vary, but the annoyance they cause doesn't. Sporty spices don't care about anything but winning and will ruin your picnic just to secure that victory.
5. Litterbugs
It's 2016 and it has been established that throwing your trash on the ground is disgusting. How hard is it to bend over and pick up your bag of chips? These people ruin the beach for the rest of us, and make the bugs and the seagulls all the more prominent. Litterbugs are lazy and selfish, and while snacking is a huge part of enjoying a beach day, the more litter there is, the fewer beaches are inclined to allow snacks past the picnic tables.
This summer, be courteous to those around you and try not to be one of these people.
