Nothing chaps my A$$ more than when your standing there fishing and someone brings there Dogs down to swim right where your fishing. It must happen to me a 1/2 dozen times a year. 
I always look for a spot where no-one is around to fish rather than plank my butt down in the middle of everything and expect everyone else to suddenly change because I'm there.

Hear-Hear - very well said! I tried to say this yesterday and it came out in a convoluted, long-winded, go-nowhere essay of stupidity.
I go where no one is, and expect everyone else to do the same.
If I can have the courtesy to avoid others time on the water, why can't everyone else.
And I must agree with Dad, fisherman are always the second class citizens. Same with hunting. Even though fishing and hunting brings millions of dollars into every states economy, we (fisherman and hunters) are never given the respect we deserve. <climb down off my soapbox>.
