Newb question: Stranger approaches your RV

you just pulled into a new campground and setup your lawn chairs next to rv and sat down and are relaxing. Around the corner comes a complete stranger with a really big grin on his face. He is really nice. he introduces himself and tells you how nice your rv is. You may engage in a conversation for a bit. he then tells he has a bathroom emergency and asks you if he can use your Rv bathroom. What is your response?

Would your response change if the person was the sweetest old lady you just met?

share your response or any stories you may have?

  • X4: Not going to happen. Great way for someone to palm items, or just find an excuse to get close to you for either a snatching, or an assault.
  • Use of a bathroom by a stranger!!!!
    As my father always told me when growing up:
    " Lack of prior planning on your part does not make it an emergency for me":):)
  • How many ways can you say no? No way! Their either have their own unit or there are campground facilities available.... and if all else fails, there's a bush.

    Sorry. No strangers come in my house and none go in my house on wheels.

  • In neighborhoods, this tactic has been used to purse snatch in the past.
  • How many times have you been approached in a parking lot by a men or women who state that they are running low on fuel, and need some money for fuel, to get home with there new baby. For some reason there credit card does work, so if you could spare a few dollars, I would greatly appreciate it.
    2 times in the last week this has happened to me and the wife.
    As for using your camper, NO REALLY, in fact NO WAY.

    If it were the man - I'd point to the bushes.

    Sorry but my RV restroom is reserved my me, myself and I and no one is going into my RV to use mine.

    On a non toilet related subject, my family had just arrived at a pretty desolate campground and a "couple of fellers" showed up and wanted to take my Dad to show him where some good firewood was. My Dad, who had a wife and 3 daughters to worry about, said no - we were just fine on firewood and put the 2 shotguns on the picnic table. Those "fellers" never did bother us.
