Thoughtless people
Sorry, have to rant about this one. We are not frequent Wally campers but on occasion for a simple overnight, & needing to get supplies while we are at it, Walmart does the trick.
Last night was such a night. As is the usual courtesy we checked with one of the managers & parked where requested. A huge area far from the store. Did the usual park across the bays. We were there for a couple of hours when in rolls a class A & parks right next to us. No need to do so as there is still loads of room in the area. OK, fine it is Walmart. Maybe he is insecure & wants to be near somebody else.
The problems start when this thoughtless dude decides to run his generator. My windows are open for the fresh air. Guess where the diesel fumes are going!!! I go a knocking on his door looking for a little thought & consideration. Dude comes outside, stands between our units & claims he does not smell a thing. Suggests that I move!!!! A few lanes away there are 5 other class As, all running their gennys. I suggest that he move over with them & enjoy the mutual noise & fumes together.
As a boater I also advise him of the common boating protocol of later arrivals to an anchorage comply & do not disturb what previous arrivals are doing i.e. if nobody is running a generator, you don't run yours, especially for hours on end.
Will give him credit, he did shut it down after awhile. Also, he did not leave at the crack of dawn although we got the 10 minute diesel warm up, right next to our door, before he left.
Here endeth the rant.
