There are so many things I don't understand
Currently it's the guy who's spent most of a half hour trying to back his fiver into a pull-thru site. There must be a logical explanation - he is human, after all - and we humans are rational beings,...

I never spontaneously offer help anymore. Too many rude people, plus I don't need the added liability. If someone has a rig that they can't back into a site, then I think Darwin should take over.
I watched a neighbor (with a new-to-him Monaco) try to use his slide locks to lock the slide OUT. I didn't say anything because I didn't want the first conversation to start with "You're doing it all wrong". Just before I left, I did ask him if he ever got the slide locks figured out, and he admitted that he didn't. It wasn't till then that I mentioned that the lock was for preventing the slide from sliding out.
More recently, a couple pulled into the spot behind us with what was apparently and new class B (temp plates, took 3 tries to get the water connected to the correct place). I just nodded a hello and mentioned that it looked like a brand new rig and went about my business. The next morning it was apparent that they spent a very cold night, so I casually asked if every was working and one of the ladies admitted that they were afraid to run the heat, or even to turn on the propane for hot water. I spent the next half hour showing them how to turn on systems and giving them web sites and apps to look into to make life on the road easier.
