What do you do when some rowdy beachgoers asks you to look for their Rolex.

[Sandman]

Every once in a while while wading the beach some rowdy types approach asking if I would hunt for their lost Rolex. I usually listen with interest and tell them to contact the lifeguard or manager and give their name an phone number so we can reach them if it is found or turned in. This usually gets them to play nice.

How do you handle stupid people. There is no bounty on them so ya shouldn't knock them out an drag them ashore.

the ones closest to me know IM a good person,to a stranger Im very guarded and pretty much ready to strike. think we all need a shell of some sort around us!!! my headphones keep most of the dumb questions at bay because most people see me wearing them and dont bother yapping away!!

humm you lost a rolex today ? -- well I guess the one I found yesterday wasn't yours then. -- but thanks I'll check around here more after you leave. unless of course you want to "hire" me to look for it -- then its $25 per hour and the first hour must be paid now up front and I keep all finds other than the watch ---- Ivan

This is really great! Thanks Ivan....

I also hunt early in the morning as this is when you can find lost dollar bills laying on the bottom or other goodies left from the night. I usually knock off for a nap and lunch around 10 AM and come back out near 6 PM to collect what was left during the day. This is when ya can run into the idiots.

It all depends on how many there are and if their husbands are watching. If there're too many, I run. THAT takes care of about 10 seconds. After that, it's anybody's guess.
