That's what I say too,......in that order. And, I worked hard to get it. Now, if I'm traveling, and staying at a RV park/campground. My little house has wheels, so if something is bothering me,....I leave. I wouldn't want to spoil anybody's fun. I've had a noisy late-arriving neighbor wake me up. They make enough noise to wake everyone. I see it as the perfect opportunity to leave, since everyone is awake anyway. But, I realize that not everyone is happy. You gotta know the art of compromise. You gotta work at being happy. I've had a streak of good luck, but I don't dwell on a potential stroke of bad luck. It's true, life is not perfect.
BTW I thought about all this after I had a wonderful Sunday breakfast.
I think you need to re-visit that whole "art of compromise" thing. Leaving the park because a neighbor arrived late does not, IMO, fit the bill. It seems extreme. Much more of an inconvenience than a little noise. Even a lot of noise.
You posted earlier that 8:00 is too late. The sun hasn't even begun to set at that time in the summer. You want to go to bed that's your business but don't expect the rest of the world to be on board.
I seriously doubt that there are more than a few people who actually PLAN on arriving late (or even after dark) but stuff happens. It's no fun for the late arrivals either. The one time I showed up late (almost midnight) there were no other options. There is not a Walmart every couple of miles in some areas of the country.
I think we should all have some empathy and compassion. Life's too short to "sweat the small stuff".
I have no problem with everyone posting how they live their life. I should add that at age 75 I have the freedom to "practice what I preach". I assumed that nobody would care. Perhaps I was wrong?
I'm just wondering why?
