Or is it better to sit in anger and just “know” that some delinquent is running their genny just to ruin your night and they’re probably playing xbox at 2 am and that’s what used up their battery?
See, many different scenarios.

Maybe I’m blessed to be a heavy sleeper. Or maybe I just have more/more important things to worry about and occupy my time with. So maybe it’s just me…
All those sad stories stopped to camp for 1 night and were replaced by another group of equally sad stories the next night. People are depending on breaking the campground rules to accommodate their style of travel at the material expense of others.
People seem to find that breaking, bending, or changing the rules to make themselves happy at the expense of others is pretty much the order of the day. This isn't just an rv problem by any means.
