I laughed but was bothered when they headed off in the wrong direction after agreeing to go to the ocean.
I used to live near the water (harbor, bay, river mouth, whatever it was actually) and would get pissed at everyone who’d just dump their trees on the other side of the low sea wall at the beach. I’m sure in their mind the ocean took care of it (even though the water rarely reached the wall) when really it was some underpaid town worker in a dump truck cleaning up after them.
