Are you REALLY that inconsiderate??

I was in a CG a few weeks ago. They were all unserviced sites. The guy next to us had a generator to charge his trailer batteries. To avoid being bothered by the noise, he would start it when he was about to leave the CG for a couple of hours and turned if off when he came back. It seems that every time he left, he would turn it on. I was really tempted to go over and turn it off after he left, but I didn't ... who knows, he might have needed it to charge the batteries for medical equipment, like a CPAP machine. Probably not though ... just inconsiderate!
As someone said in his signature :"I used to be a people person, but people spoiled it for me."

We were parked next to a guy who was apparently upset about the noise from our air conditioners running while we were away (pet inside, 90f+ temps, FHU site). He thought he'd solve the "problem" by turning off the breaker at our pedestal - which was witnessed by another neighbor who told us and the camp hosts about it.

That power-turner-offer was then "treated" to the sound of not only our a/c, but also a couple hours of our 10kw generator which was on auto-start.

OTOH, there was recently a post from someone who mentioned that while he was away, someone plugged into his running generator without permission and the generator was damaged. No one suggested that maybe he shouldn't have left it running while he wasn't there.

Maybe there should be an unwritten rule of camping etiquette that if you leave a genny running unattended it's free to all to use.
