Unwanted guests, lets hear your story....
Last weekend my partner and I camped at our local KOA just for a getaway from the house. We hAave camped there several times, alone and with friends and we love the peacefulness of this particular KOA...

Yes, I had one of those. I think he was moderately autistic so I gave him some slack.
But he has so annoying, and just wouldn't leave. (Autistics tend not to perceive social cues about when they are being boring, or unwanted, or inappropriate, etc.)
First he started to tell me why I shouldn't read a paper book because Kindles are so much better. I indulged him with a thoughtful reasoned answer, smiled and went politely back to my reading. But he just stands there, grunting. Then moves on to what's the book about, etc. My answers got shorter and shorter, but he wouldn't take the hints. This went on for several minutes and I try to ignore him and enjoy my book. But still he persists.
I couldn't be too rude because I know he was challenged and was really making an effort. (And I think I spotted his guardian in the distance, keeping an eye on things, and who probably encouraged him to talk to people.) So I tried to be friendly at first. But it got annoying fast!
