Bad People at the Washing Up Area - What winds you up?

[Eileen]

mine smells of lavender

I tend to wait until I get home, if I do have to use the campsite toilet I will normally try the hover technique, this does become more difficult in older age.

Dogs,dogs dogs. Why do campers let their dogs bark continually? Just come back from East Fleet campsite in Weymouth. So many campers have dogs. But very close to us was a caravan with two medium size dogs. These dogs just kept barking. Don't the owners hear them barking? It was driving us crazy. I am sure if I went over there and said something I would have been verbally abused.
Mind you, was camping in France in June, and dog owners there just let their dog crap anywhere and they don't pick up the mess.
Never mind noisy campers , I'd like a campsite where dogs are banned.

People that uriniate on the toilet seat. Most men are just too lazy to lift the seat which results in me having to use Eileen's hover technique.

The problem with camping is you are having to share many facilities with other human beings, thankfully most are OK but sadly there are some scummy people that ruin things for others.

I have a dog. he doesn't bark. if he did it would wee wee me off. I don't get why owners sit there listening to their mutts howling and yapping and think it's ok. same when they are at home I supppse with no respect for their neighbours who may be night shift workers

Had a not dissimilar experience on Friday night at Woodyhyde Campsite near Dorset. Large group with extra cars arriving and lots of noise until 2am. Lots of signs about noise and open fires, neither enforced. Won't return.

I spent my first 'getting to know you' night in my Cali at Woodyhyde and was quite shocked to find on a quite busy site, there was no supervisor there most of the time.
We camped near the railway line to please my grandson, he was then aged 10 and was quite shocked to see the nasty little brats next door throwing things at the passing steam train and screaming obscenities, and there was no-one there to stop them.

If you can't take a dump in the toilet block where do you suggest people go?
Presumably your excrement gives of no odour.
Grow up.

From the earlier comments I think the showers will be a no as well !!!

There are dogfree campsite, certainly can search on ukcampsite for them. Half the sites appear to disappear when you select dogs allowed.

Dogs that bark continually aren't being looked after properly or are dogs that were previously damaged. Left too long, anxious or whatever...dog owners are like people with kids, vastly different degrees of knowledge, interest and sensitivity to others.

If my dogs continued barking after being told, I'd go potty. Tho the terrier does like the last word...

I think we have experienced most of what has been mentioned at some time or another. The thing I have had to do twice now is knock on the door if a mighty white and ask ever so politely if they could turn off their exterior security light... one apologetic and tonight's just responded with a "yeh". Off to sleep now as it's now dark!!

9.20am this morning at Crystal Palace we also discovered what looked like a human feaces in the shower tray, we went to inform the warden but on our return it had disappeared.

That's good then, isn't it? That it had been dealt with even before you could report it?

Many people seem to have a tale to tell of finding poo in the shower which means this is quite a common problem on campsites which is quite shocking.

 

[BikerGran]

Never had that experience myself but in the case of the disappearing poo I can easily imagine a scenario where a child goes to shower and runs back to mum sayimg 'Mummy, mummy, I pooed in the shower! ' - and mummy running to deal with it as soon as possible.

 

[Meoncoast]

seen some very big slugs in campsite loo's but never a poo

Really!?

In our household it is usually daddy who is tasked to deal with such matters.

Why would anyone, children included, do such a foul act in the first place. I mean, children would not be showering without adult supervision would they?
I find this absolutely disgusting and anyone doing such an act should be asked to leave the campsite immediately.

I heard a cheery "Daddy, I done a poo" the other day at breakfast, and saw a massive turd on the kitchen floor. It may only happen once or twice in every child's lifetime, but there is a stage between pooing at will in a nappy and controlled pooing in the toilet when these things happen - and they happen faster than any mortal can react.

If the parent was in the shower with the child at the time of the incident, the parent would have needed to get decent and then deposited the child somewhere safe before cleaning the mess.

Sh*t happens!

We had a poo experience last weekend at a campsite in the New Forest, it was not a child's poo! !

WHAT??!!

Surely not!!

 

[DavidofHook]

Never had a poo experience as described in a campsite but many years ago we had one in a supermarket in France. We were with the children in a hot, crowded Casino supermarket in Pont Saint Esprit on the Rhône when we noticed people struggling to avoid going up a particular aisle. A quick look and you could see why, a large brown turd steaming quietly between the freezers.
Wish I could say that we didn't shop there again but, in those days, it was the only one in town. The turd had gone by the next time we went anyway so it was alright!

This happened again to us last night, it was certainly human and adult sized. Wardens swifty sorted it out and apologised but they did say it is happening a lot more recently

Disgusting people making it difficult for decent people (Californians, at least we, who drive a California) to enjoy the campsite.

Oh yes, I have some wind ups too:
- Leaving the lights on when they had to turn them on. Don't worry, if I pass a light on, I will put it out (sometimes).
- Leaving a number 2 all over the toilet cabine. especially on the back wall????
- Going to the shower and telling your lifestory to your wife/husband/friends. This really can't wait till you are done showering? There might be people who want to take a shower in all serenity.
- The same when going to the toilet...
- Doing the washing up in the laundry baskets.
- Leaving the small leftovers from your food in the sink.
- Leaving your shampoo/shower gel in the shower. I have my own thank you.
- Not cleaning/dry wiping the shower.
- Children playing/shouting/running in the toilet/shower area. That is no play garden. There is so much space outside that building.

Maybe it's just me?

I was on a podcast recently and there was a question about how we can make the world better re: Gates foundation/philanthropy etc.

I just said- “if everyone could think about how they affect others and be a little bit more empathetic- the world would be a better place!!”

I was always taught to leave things as I found them. Why can’t people just be like that!!!??
