Went to the beach with my gf. Got back to car. My car was parked by a gym. Decided to start battling the gym in the car. Two 12 year old boys start circling around my car (twice), as if that's normal, peering in. On the second round about my car they ask if we're battling the gym. My girlfriend says "no?". They start walking around a bit further away from the car, but keep peering back at us as if trying to figure out what we're doing.

That pissed me off. Social skills out the window. Stalking level pretty high.

Then I went to a different beach with my girlfriend tonight, and the pier was jam packed with people playing the game. Four pokestops all packed together on the pier. People weren't enjoying the starry night or the ocean breeze, just playing pokemon. I wasn't playing, but I pulled out my phone once we left the pier to see what was stationed at it.

Fuck this game. I thought I could enjoy it here and there, sort of like a pass-time sort of thing, on walks. It's not social it's just weird. It's off my phone.

it will blow over soon enough

Sounds like a shitty experience, i dont see it as a reason to put down the game completely. It can be a casual walk game, some Gyms are mainly irrelevant at this time because there's so many people playing that your gym most likely won't be held all day to collect coins if its a popular spot.
Not to sound like a negative person or anything, but there's hardly enough people enjoying ocean breezes and starry nights anyways.
