Food remnants in the rocks below the tap tend to attract bugs and bacteria, grease and gunk that gets left behind on the spigot valve from dish hands, dish soap coated spigots where people are drawing potable water from (ingested you know what happens... ), and having to set potable water containers in the food/soap/germ gunk to take back to your camp with you.

Just sayin...

Interesting. It didn't occur to me this way. Before RV, we used to tent camp. At campground, it seems pretty common people wash their dishes at tap.

Do a search on FRF for DUMPING GRAY WATER.

A thread a couple years ago got pretty interesting.

I know. HENCE.. found under the pet peeve thread.

I'm pretty flexible on most of the things that other members have mentioned that bother them. The only one thing, that consistently gets on my nerves is those RV'ers who have no concept of time .............. when ahead of me at the dump station.

I sometimes think they are finishing off reading the last half of "War and Peace" in the amount of time it takes them.

It's this reason, that if I'm staying at a park close to home, I'll just dump at my house and have a way to do this.

"Just sayin..." If you didn't mean it then why say it? IMO if you say something then you most certainly meant it and should expect the person next to you take it the worst way possible. Then maybe folks might think twice about "just sayin" something.

Forgetting that one thing during the weekend camp trip and there is always one thing.

My children whining about the lack of electronics. My favorite places have trees for neighbors and no cable. Don't get me wrong, I like campgrounds too but most campgrounds aren't next to a hiking trail that leads to a sweet fishing spot

Not campground but.......

1. Slow drivers in left lane, especially RV's

2. Not using turn signals.

3. Drivers that do not know how to merge on highway onramps.

I must be camping is wonderland. I don't think I have had anyone cut through my lot. It seems to be always quite after the quite time. I love friendly people that stop to introduce their pets as long as they are friendly.
Camping has always been one step away from being a refugee camp. I mean we are on 30-40 foot lots living on top of each other. People are annoying in general but in close quarters in take a big smile even if it's hiding clenched teeth.

I didn't "mean" to say... and "didn't" say it's ok to do it or not. I expressed no personal opinion. They asked "why?" in response to a posters pet peeve so they got a "just sayin.." as in "food for thought" why someone might consider that a pet peeve. That may or may not reflect my personal opinion on the matter.

Personally, I never sweat the small stuff like that and stress over something I have no control over. It happens. It's always going to happen. So what? It's not like it isn't biodegradable. But I can understand how that might bother some people. I don't do it myself, but I wouldn't give it a seconds thought if I saw someone that does.

I apologize if someone took it as me condemning them in the worst way possible if they are ones that do their dishes at the water tap. It wasn't my intention.

Thanks, I've been wanting to say this so bad! :-)

Campers that bring their barking dogs and let them crap all over the grass area's around my camping spot

[indybp57]

Finally sitting down to enjoy the fire after a long drive and getting camp setup, only to have the lady across the street start up her leaf blower.

[Phil57]

Leaf blower? Where do you camp? LOL We use a little battery op one my neighbor has to blow the grass off the patio after they cut it. I wouldn't like that to much either.

To boil it I guess. Lol. Always found that humorous too.
