Picnic Dos and Don’ts
Who says that being on a picnic means you can certainly do whatever you desire? Well, if it were that way, then it will be too scary to go on a picnic because anything will be able to happen because there are generally no rules to follow. Individuals will just walk up to your picnic spot and hijack your basket which will be extremely dangerous, too. I shudder to think what could happen. So before anything awful happens to your supposedly calming and stress-free picnic, there are numerous picnic etiquettes that you must abide by in order to coexist with other picnic goers and with your surroundings also.
There are picnic groves that have several picnic tables that strangers can share. Please don’t come up to somebody else’s picnic and feel too comfortable. You never know what these people are there for and they might not like it if someone gatecrashes to their picnic.
Another common thing that happens in a really fun picnic with a lot of available food on the table is the famous Food fight. This is very common in school cafeterias but then it can happen in picnics too since they are by themselves. Don’t start, encourage or get involved in a food fight. Aside from all the trash that you will be leaving behind, you will be attracting a lot of bugs such as ants and bees that could harm you once they smell food on you.
Another thing to watch is your music volume. Don’t play your stereo too loud. You will not only disturb other picnic goers, but you might irritate the animals around you. You don’t want a bear or other wild animals to come over to your picnic just because they heard your loud music.
Speaking of bears, don’t feed the animals, especially bears. They could be cute and cuddly, but then again you never know when they might suddenly turn wild. For those who bring their dogs along on a picnic, don’t let your dogs out without a leash because they might harm or ruin other people’s picnic and you will be held responsible for it.
Also, make sure you clean up your dog’s droppings and make sure to dispose it properly. That goes for all your trash as well. Keep all your trash in a bag that you can bring along with you to avoid a pile up of trash in the picnic site.
And on your way home, do not drink alcoholic beverages knowing that you are going to be driving home. Mishaps happen anytime and everywhere so refrain from drinking alcohol in a picnic. There are several more things that you must avoid in order to make your picnic safe and hassle free. The list goes on and on. Diverse strokes for various folks. In the end, the success of your picnic will all depend on how well you behave like a responsible picnic-goer.
Eventually, there are various things you can easily do without the need of limiting oneself from doing. Have fun, fun and more fun! Do provide an excellent camera to capture your precious moments, give loads of healthy and great food for all people in the picnic to enjoy and have some more fun under the sun.
