Spineless Twit

[evensplit]

For several years, our shop has frequented a local establishment, and as is our tradition, we have placed our shop stickers around the place. For about the last year, there has been a problem of somebody repeatedly tearing down our shop stickers, and the problem had grown to the point that the owner was asking us for help replacing them - just to make a point.

Tonight I caught an instructor from a competing shop tearing down one of our stickers in the mens restroom. He not only left the restroom practically in a panic, but he and his party had cleared out of the resturaunt by the time I returned from the restroom.

Needless to say I was extremely disappointed to discover that the ones defacing the resturaunt were other local divers. I guess they saw this as a form of competition?

What kind of beer do they serve there?

Cold and reasonably cheap.

That's my favorite kind.

I could understand if they were putting up their own stickers, or even covering up your stickers with theirs, but yeah, it's pretty spineless to just run out when caught in the act. I think you should be the bigger man and hand out some stickers to them when you see them in there next time- kinda like a good will gesture.

That's how I knew they were gone. I was going to give them a few so they wouldn't have to tear the others down.

I could appreciate if they had something to add of their own, but I guess thay have no creativity to go along with their lack of class.

hmm, next time put up your stickers in thh men's and women's restroom and place a blank sticker above it that says, "this sticker has been peed on".

probably solve the problem with the stickers being ripped down, eh?

Just super glue it

i think you should go to this guys dive shop and put a sticker somewhere in the shop

and... get your lds to start a competition!

pics of their sticker in places, on things. inc OS trips and put up a board on the wall where you can stick them for all to see... builds team spirit/motiviation as well as gets more people sticking them in places

Happy Diving!
