I was at the beach last weekend, and have been going for the last couple of weekends. I can do this because I no longer have 2 jobs and go to school which gives me a lot more time to do things. (worked at an airline so I can fly for free, and at a hotel so I can stay in hotels for free. THAT'S how you travel!!!)

Anyway, that's neither here nor there. At the beach I have started noticing certain types of people that are always there. So, For your great reading pleasure I will write the types of beach goers that plague Florida beaches lol.

Old fat dude in speedo with perma-tan

I always see this type of beach goer in Florida. A tan 3 or 4 shades darker than normal, a hair-do meant for the 30-40 crowd, and a business casual walk.

You can't hate on them though: Gravity has been kicking their ass for the better part of 40 years and they still rock a speedo in public. They are usually seen walking along the water's edge trying to catch the attention of all the pretty ladies.

Guy with metal detector

We have all seen this guy. combing the beach with a metal detector in search of all your valuables. Usually end up being beer bottle caps. You also can't hate on them either because when the nuclear holocaust hits, currency will revert back to bottle caps and they have a stockpile saved up, giving them the last laugh!

They are often seen walking really close to the topless sunbathers, as they have a convenient excuse should they be caught.

Beer Bum

Please say nobody reading this is one of these guys!! Beer bums are people that drink already opened and discarded beer cans left by other people. I have seen this more than once and was surprised both times! This guy opened up the beach dumpster and went looking for cans, not to collect and return for a deposit but to DRINK THE BEER OUT OF IT!!!! oh hell no!

A 12 pack of Miller High life costs what? $10.95?

To be continued....

I want to hear about the beaches of Thailand or anywhere else. what kind of strange people or strange things you see there?

DISCLAIMER! I am simply putting some observations down and not trying to call anyone out or offend anyone. Once again, just simple light hearted observations, that maybe people will get a laugh out of. Unless there are beer bums on this site.. if so.. what is wrong with you!!!!!! 555+

And Guy like you?

haha I'm not sure if you are asking what type I would fall under? I'll get to that in my next add on post.. can't leave myself or guys like me out lol.

Why can't you let yourself or guys like you out? Some reason?

What? Very simply, if you make observations on others, you shouldn't be nervous of taking a look back at yourself too is what I meant.

"Old fat dude in speedo with perma-tan" definitely get those here too! I'm sure they're a mandatory requirement for (most) beaches worldwide lol

Right. SO?

Next thread is going to be on types of trolling it looks like.

Anyway,

Sucks to hear that the fat old man in speedo has gone worldwide. Lol. Anyone else spotted them around? Lol

Old fat dude in speedo with perma-tan + young Thai gf/wife -- much more common here.

lol...I've seen all of them except for the beer bum...that one sounds hideous.

Haha come to think of it. I did see a lot of young Thai girls hanging out with OFG W/Pt!! Great call breakofdawning. Any other common sights at Thai beaches?

No speedos on California beaches. Baggy surfer style trunks for men, Brazillion cut bikinis for woman. Spend most of my free time at the beach, surfing and sun bathing. Seal Beach south of Los Angels my fave!!
