Caught on film, Why DG gets no respect

These are photos I came across of basket abuse. It's all cute and funny until the park says, "we can't afford $400 every time a basket breaks"

If you see yourself or someone you know, you may be a douche. Exhibit C:

This looks familiar to another picture that was posted (but remember after lying to us all and getting caught he fessed up and apologized)

In defense of these people, they are not trying to destroy the baskets. I think people that do things like this think that the a metal basket can support their weight and they just want a cute picture. It's more ignorance than being a dbag. I think the destruction and broken baskets rarely, if ever, come from these types of pics. to break those bolts you have to really try.

I did find another pic of an offender though.

those are portable baskets, most likely his own.

I figured he was a disc golfer involved with setting up a course. So he would be the one replacing the basket if he broke it anyone.

I am on a rant because I went to a few courses and signs are torn down, baskets are tilted and in one case one of the baskets was used as a grill, still filled with foil and charcoal.

I'll post a light hearted thread next time

We had the grill epidemic here, too. Even made t-shirts with a slash through some guy grilling on a basket. F'n hilarious, man.

This one needs a spanking. I'll teach her.
