"If I'm having a bad day, then we're all going to ..."

[pconroy]

That's about the only thought I could come up with for this one. Were they mad because the site didn't have room for their pickup?


So, park it in the road?
Slides out, unhooked, plugged in.


Blocking the road for at least 30 minutes - which is all I was around to watch.


Intentionally rude?
Or just clueless - like those people who'll decide to have a Reunion in the middle of the grocery store asile?


No idea.

I bet if you saw the tag on the camper it would be a temp tag

...Intentionally rude?

All of the above. By the looks of the mountain bikes, it wasn’t a couple of 70-year-olds. Some of these younger folks — not all — seem clueless to everything but themselves. Not just in camping but life in general. Woulda liked to see a big F-450 with an Iron Bull bumper T-bone him.

Ah hell, maybe his wife distracted him in the middle of something. Surely he wouldn't be the first.

I get uptight when I have to block a road for the short time it takes me to level side to side before I can drop it. I go into hyper mode and hustle just so I won't hold anyone else up!

As "Old and soft" said, he may have gotten distracted and forget to move it. I've seen that happen before.

I would say just clueless!

Like this morning, the DW and me went out for breakfast at a local small restaurant. It was busy, usually normal for Sunday morning. So, the menu is posted up high behind the cashier. The line was long, about a 10 minute wait. The normal, common sense person would view the menu while waiting, decide what to order and then recite their order to the cashier when it was their turn. You would think everyone would have the sense to do it this way, but noooo! The folks in front of us could not decide what to have when it was their turn to order. It took them over 5 minutes for them (2 of them, millennials of course) to decide what they wanted.

Yep, some folks are just clueless.

Just like people in a grocery store who wait to get out or look for their CC or check book until after everything is rung up. Problem is they aren't just the millenials.

If they are using a checkbook, they definitely aren’t millennials. Likely not even boomers .

On the same topic, I just love the folks who wait until they’ve filled up their truck with gas THEN go about washing every window and mirror — inside and out — while you wait for the pump. Happened to me just the other day. Grrr.

Or leave their vehicle at the pump while they go in to get their coffee...

Bingo - I used to have my check all made out and ready to go - minus the final amount. Man, that used to chap my hide.


People who were "inevitably surprised" that they had to pay for their groceries.


"What??? They're not free???? Oh my - where did I put my checkbook!?!?"

yeah, don't like to see that. There are usually other parking spaces for that stuff. Just rude/immature. I understand some people have to go inside to pay, but I've seen vehicles sit for way too long occupying a stall that otherwise could've been used by another.

How about at fuel stations when diesel is ONLY on the end pumps..... There are 6 gas pumps open, and the two diesel pumps occupied with people getting what... GAS.

Some of those people are just plain clueless and never even noticed there isn't diesel available at every pump. Others, obviously know, as I told them nicely before - they just choose to be lazy and pick the easiest pump to access.

Interesting observation; I never noticed that until you mentioned it. But I don't have a diesel so I didn't make the connection. I've been so lucky the last few times I've had to stop for gas where the end lane was open so I could pull in with the TT. I wish they had a lane in the commercial diesel side for us gassers that are pulling a long TT.

I hate being in this position. Last camp I was about half-backed in to our site when two cars (not towing) pulled up behind me. Now this campground is a series of loops, bidirectional, so every site has more than one route to it.

After they had sat there watching me for a few minutes, I went over and explained that it was easy reroute to their campsite, but no, they decided to sit there for another 10 minutes watching me while I leveled and unhitched. But I am not going to rush it for them - when you rush you make mistakes. Didn't really appreciate the pressure of having a (not particularly) captive audience however.

You tell them, “I go half-speed in font of an audience...”

Me too - but the best I could tell, with no one around for the 30 minutes I was there, with the trailer all setup -- they'd just decided that that stretch of road was "their's."

[TonyOIB]

I may as well get in my two cents as well. Last week at the Walmart pharmacy there must’ve been eight people online and one clerk. Wouldn’t you know it the one person holding everything up had a cart full of groceries and was unloading them at the pharmacy to Pay for one prescription and her cart full of groceries!! 🤷🏼
