Who says that being on a picnic means you can do whatever you want? Well, if it were that way, then it would be too scary to go on a picnic because anything can happen because there are no rules to follow. People can just walk up to your picnic spot and hijack your basket which can be very dangerous, too. I shudder to think what could happen. So before anything bad happens to your supposedly relaxing and stress-free picnic, there are some picnic etiquettes that you must adhere to in order to coexist with other picnic goers and with your surroundings as well.
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 typical thing that happens in a really fun picnic with a lot of readily available food on the table is the popular Food fight. This is extremely normal in university cafeterias but then it would likely happen in picnics too since they are usually by themselves. Do not start, encourage or get involved in a food competition. Aside from each and every trash that you are going to be leaving behind, you will be attracting bugs like ants and bees which can harm you when they smell food on you.
Another thing to watch is your music volume. Don’t play your stereo too loud. You won’t just disturb other picnic goers, but you might irritate the animals around you. You don’t want a bear or other untamed animals to come over to your picnic just since they heard your loud music.
Speaking of bears, do not feed the creatures, specifically bears. They could be cute and cuddly, but then again you don’t know when they might suddenly turn wild. For many who take their dogs along on a picnic, do not let your dogs out without a leash because they might harm or destroy other people’s picnic and you will be held accountable 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.
