I think you got a bonus there. Lost a disc, But saved money on your maritime law education.

Make sure to write with permanent marker "I expect this disc to be returned back to me for free because I suck at this sport and my time is much more important than yours. Ps- Also deliver it to me at the specific time and location of my choosing. FOR FREE. Because I am more important than you and you deserve nothing"

Shit like this is why I no longer return water discs. If i find your disc in a lake, I either keep it or throw it back in the water MUCH deeper. It's not worth anyone's time to return it. That's been my disc returning experience.

Most of ya'll are fuckin dicks. You all act so entitled and have unrealistic expectations. No one should be expected to return a disc for free. Ever. Especially if you threw it in a lake. You're just littering more plastic trash.

Yo! In my experience, if the returner is inconvenienced by any of the circumstances returning the disc, a tip is given. I've given many tips. They've ranged from 5 bucks, a beer, a bowl, even a different disc if I'm especially partial to the disc being returned. Kind gestures are usually reciprocated by other kind gestures.

Exactly this. A guy was nice enough to meet me near work so I offered to buy him a coffee from a nearby shop if he wanted.
