Question About Dummies

[The Common Man]

I have a question for you all.  When someone drills a hole less than five feet from one of your tip-ups and drops one in, do you say something them?  I ice fish to relax but nothing gets me worked up more than inconsiderate people.  It's probably not worth teaching ethics on the ice, but I was curious to know what everyone else does.

Walk over, drill a hole 12" from theirs, sit down and start jigging

Guess I'm lucky here in northern BC as don't see many others on the ice.
I might pull out my artificial eye and go over to the hole he is using. Tug on his shirt tail whilst saying "Daaa, Daaa, Daaa, fissssy, fissssy, fissssy, fissssshhhhhy, biiittttee." Maybe lift your leg like a dog and mark your territory.
Or if you really want to get rid of him: Go over to him and say "I really like your rod, do you like mine" Say this while winking and licking your upper lip. He will get grossed out and leave. If he says "Yes" and winks back then you had better leave.

I like it!  I let you know how it works.  Thanks!

Of course i would say something. I would try to make it polite though.
