A huge pet peeve: graffiti for Instagram

[MPMB]

Is there any proof or anything actually saying it's their kids names? After all it could be theirs. I've looked up their IG and there are no names actually associated with it that I can find.

There are two kids in some of the pics on the IG. Girl about 8-10, boy about 6-8. Looking at the quality of handwriting on the wall, the motor skills look about right.

I hope that you're right and it was just a stupid mistake. This thing really gets me going though, mostly because I also took my two young kids on basically the exact same trip, I did this dome plateau Trail, and in the following day hell's Revenge. Without even knowing it, we were following the same trails just one day apart. So it makes me furious to see somebody out there doing the same thing with their kids, but instead of showing them how cool nature is and how fun it is to get out and explore, they start writing their names on walls.

I think I'm probably a more cynical person than you, but sometimes I think the only way to learn is for it to hurt.

I agree. They’ll learn when they get a fine. It’s mostly common knowledge to leave state and national parks the way you found them, or better, clean up after those before you. The first lesson I learned, and that I taught our kids about enjoying the outdoors.

Complete losers. The "it's all about me" generations

I agree and because of that, we as a society are going to crumble into tuff times cycle. “Strong men create good times, good times create weak men, weak men create bad times.

Those are the kind of people that get approved trails shut down. You’d think it’s common sense but common sense is a super power in this day in age. I’d say take the opportunity to respectfully educate them in their Instagram account.

I already roll my eyes when people put their IG handle on their vehicles. Like, dude, you're another driver in traffic. Your very existence already means you're annoying me. What the hell makes you think I want to follow the adventures you have in your mom's used Accord?

This is just an entirely new level of vanity and stupidity. God I hope humans never make it past Earth. We would shit up the entire solar system.

Are you my long lost brother?

Somebody needs to simmer down. Sure it is preferred that ppl don’t do this sorta thing but geez man, don’t you have anything positive that you can focus all this energy on? Maybe take all the wasted time to plan another outing with your kids

Positive as in preserving archaeological sites? Positive as in keeping attention whoring idiots from defacing natural attractions with graffiti? That kind of positivity?

As a CWP holder, I am required by SC law to intervene. Think unpaid constabulary. Some serious evaluation must occur at lightspeed prior to presenting. Saying something first just might escalate the situation. Presenting first gets past that and goes directly to hostility. Say nothing and let nature take it's course with the Sun in a few billion years. So many choices.

What in the actual F*** are you talking about!? Seriously….

I agree without doubt that the lovely ppl that left trace purposely shouldn’t have done so. However stalking ppl online and bringing up children could be perceived in a negative way.

Didn’t really take much “stalking“ seeing as they themselves left their online ID inviting people to “follow them”…

 

[Dryfly24]

I'll start this out with.....I'm not on IG.

But, if no one saw him write it, is there a chance someone else wrote it to cause the guy issues? If so, it wouldn't be the first time someone impersonated another person to cause them grief.

It would suck if everyone jumped to their conclusions if that is what actually happened.

How would anyone know that? You could pretty much use that logic as a defense against anything. “I was framed” is as old as crime itself….

Leave no trace. Don't do drugs. Give alms to the poor. Carry superior firepower. Have access to enormous horsepower and keep your shop clean. Oh.... AND LEAVE NO TRACE!!

Sometimes I catch myself hoping we do blow ourselves up into extinction or for another meteor strike like the one that did the dinosaurs in. Humans are more like a viral infestation than a natural part of earth.

Truth is the planet was fine before us and it’ll be even finer afterwards… ?


Ever watch JoeyBtoonz on YouTube? This species has definitely exceeded it’s shelf life…

We don't have to agree on the approach to the rentals - they are adults.

The DOXing of the kids however should get deleted.

This is the reason why I have an issue with it.
F-ing idiots
