I'm a miserable person in general, but I'm less miserable when fishing. I prefer to fish with one person because I just feel safer. I'll usually talk to others that I run into, but I give them their space. I can't stand being crowded or having my line crossed.
If someone's in the spot I came to fish, I'll fish a different spot in the same area or move on all together. First come, first served. I'd never act like the guy described above.
As for the grump you ran into, I kinda feel for someone who can't even enjoy time spent fishing. That guy must be a real peach when he's working or doing something he doesn't like to do.
