That's the exact type of attitude - and person - that we try to get away from when we go camping.
And those who will overreact such as spraying someone with a hose is one of the reasons why we no longer camp. You can't justify boorish behavior by matching someone else's.
Get wet and run for a lawyer... and we wonder where we went wrong as a society.
You need to back up a bit and look in a mirror. Spraying someone because they walked through a site is what's wrong with society. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, all justified because we "done been wronged". What ever happened to turning the other cheek? It's not a life or death situation. Is it annoying? You bet. Is your world going to end? Hardly. Matching the behavior only brings society down further. Would it be comical if the hose "accidentally slipped"? Probably but that's what escalates a minor situation into one with potentially severe consequences.
I agree with you. While it's enjoyable to talk about getting even, it rarely works out well in reality. I've seen many people get themselves in major confrontations because of "they disrespected me". In the end, they never got satisfaction because they ended up with more problems due to their actions.
