What do you do if...

(1/3) > >>

bexifurr:
You're in Uganda with someone who wants to go paddling every day with you, but wil not follow instruction on the water, and I quote "I will not take orders from you when we're kayaking"


?????

HELP!

kmck:
Stick with nail in it.
However away from the river, with a few of your paddling friends make it clear that you will not bring them out anymore if they won't take instruction. The others will back up what your saying, also you won't have to shout over water noise or anything else to get the message through. When you talk to them make sure your sober/ they are sober, it is a quiet place no distraction and you have a clear message to give.

Try to make things sound like suggestions rather than orders. Instead of "paddle right then through to that stopper", go for, "I'm going to paddle right then through that stopper and into that eddie, what do you think?". I don't know if that will help or not cause we all shout instructions when the adrenilian flows.

GrampaC:

It really depends on what sort of instructions they won't follow.

Eg 1: Bex: You have to paddle hypoxia  i'm not letting you walk it!!!!

Other: Get Bent.


Or Eg 2: Bex: I really think you should avoid the stopper of doom with the siphon of death behind it.

Other: Get bent.

If its the first case I think you need to be less hard on them.

If its the 2nd, i'd politely tell them that they either cop on or you, and probably everybody else, won't paddle with them ever again as they are a total liability.

Sick Boy:
sounds like you are getting on like a house on fire.

tell enda i said hay

and there is still no sign of your lid, sorry dude. ill make a trip to the post office one of these days to ask em about it.

it might be an idea to say that you just want to spend the day practicing your flat water stuff, cartwheels and the like. it might seem like a waste of a day on the Nile but maybe he will learn a thing or two about basic paddling, even if he still wont listen on moving water he might at least be that bit more solid. all of this is based on the supposition that he will not go boating without you.

an alternative would be to get him so drunk one night that he just isn't physically capable of moving the next day.
