Decided to spend the month of august in one of our favorite campgrounds. Have spend the last three years in this campground, never a problem with any of the other campers. meet a lot of nice folks there, great owners and managers. This time we checked in and settled down for the month, went to walk our dogs, always go the the end unit away from any campers lawn. This lady three spaces down comes out and starts screaming at me , don't walk the dog there demanding i go somewhere else.. Ok, the rules, 1. on lease, check 2. pick up always check. 3. don't walk on campers lawn , check. So i said what is your problem, no normal voice, and quit screaming at me. She keeps it up, so i suggest there are hosiptals and drs. for what ever she your problme. Now she is really going on. Went to the office to see if i have missed anything, No, the manager said just keep what your doing that i was following the rules as always. That the lady gets a little nuts.. So two days later i am walking my dog again, again three doors from her and out she comes just screaming and threating me. i ingore then her wimphy husband comes out and gets in my face. now when i said in my face his nose almost touching mine. Then he grabs my hand like he is going to shake it and tries to squeeze it like he is trying to hurt me. I look him in the eye and ask, are you just nuts are what?? I inform both of them, come at me again and both of you are going to jail then i walk away. When did i get so gentle.. oh me.

Lucky13, Well Sir, there have been, are now, and always will be, people who "skip by" the COMMON SENSE table when they're born. They walk right on by it. You see, it appears that without seeing or hearing "their side" of the story and, reading yours, that they don't know how to use a "common sense" approach and calmly walk up to you and DISCUSS what kind of issue they have with you and your dog. If they'd have walked up to you and simply asked you about your operations with your dog, and if they'd like it be changed, then maybe you might have accommodated them, and then again you might have said, I'm following the rules and, I don't see the problem. So, people will be people and simply don't know how to be normal. Scott

Get the management to throw those Nuts out or bypass them and call the Cops next time....

Hopefully your dog pee'd on his pant legs while you were both nose to nose hehe... They obviously have issues. Maybe the good side is they love each other... I just ignore folks like this - ain't gonna spoil my camping stay...Roy Ken

Your sign in is "Lucky13" and you ask "Why, Me?..:h...lolIt's possible they approached other campers this way and they offered them some beer to calm down. Now, they think everyone will do it. I'm sure the hubby was defending his wife's honor as any real hubby would do. I'm guessing they were still in their PJs and nightgown too....:B:B.On a serious note, we've experienced some of this too at several campgrounds we've visited this year. IMHO, and that's all it is, I think as more people gravitate to campgrounds as permanent residents, they are still of the mindset that they OWN the place. WE then, are looked at as squatters, invading their little piece of paradise. Putting testosterone aside, I would have simply found another spot to walk my dog..oh! and offered them a beer....:B....Dennis

as a follow up, for those who think i should have just smacked him,
the thought did cross my mine, however from one who also made six west pac tours, and spend two years flying with a gunny with a bad mouth, this guy was not even in the ball park . There was a time i would have just dropped him. But i have learned that messing with his mind was more fun. so just laughed and moved on

He might have wanted dropped if there were no witnesses around other than his wife, good way to get a new RV out of the deal. Best to be prepared for the next encounter with a video an then put him out of his misery.

The minute he got within my personal space, never mind grabbing my hand, all bets are off. I just would have dropped the guy.

I just can't imagine someone actually physically touching you. I would go ballistic! We don't have dogs so we would probably not run into that situation. I ride my bike at most RV parks that we stay in and no problems ever with any campers.

I hate to say it but I would have a hard time being nice if someone approached me aggressively.

Next time they touch you, or even get nose to nose with you, call the police and inform the management that you will not tolerate such aggressive action and folks violating your personal space. it is assault. Period.

If they will not back off and management will not stop it, you have no choice.

Boy, Is that guy lucky or what. I have a bad case of PTSD. If he would have walked over to me he would have limped going back.

They should throw out the trouble makers,why do they allow this woman and her husband to act like this? They will be losing normal people,and allowing the crazies to stay.

We have a neighbor next to our stick house with similar problems....three of us finally had enough and we jointly called the police. The police came out and spent about 20 minutes with our neighbor. I do not know what was said but all our problems evaporated!!
I hope all your problems have evaporated, and that they are not now planning and laying in wait. That could be down right scary.
