Back on target another Pet Peeve of mine is having to do anything before I have my coffee. We drink, and stock, Kona coffee at home and in the camper.

Campers who play music so I can hear it -- didn't come out to hear noise other than quiet
Lights left on all night for absolutely no reason

100% agree. I almost always try to stop at truck stops for fuel to avoid this issue!

I had to stop at a regular station yesterday and it was a long wait to get the first 30 gallons in. The pump shut off at 100$ and that was enough for me. It will get me to a truck stop. I try to only get fuel at truck stops. Always wonder how much diesel small stations pump and what quality I'm getting.
I did have half the lot blocked off when I was fueling up and a few people weren't real happy so it works both ways.

Not as funny as your Atari sigline. That cracked me up.

BTW, I still have one. I'm going to see if the town of Alamogordo, NM will sell me an E.T. game for it.

I'll be sure and use the entire quart of lighter fluid on my next campfire as opposed to half just for you!

I see the exact opposite. I have a huge dog that sometimes takes two bags. I always pick it up. The smaller dogs I see their leftovers everywhere. Owners figure that it is so small no one will step in it.

I find that most owners are great about picking up the poo at campgrounds. Where I have a complaint is at rest areas or hotels. It seems that if the owner of the dog isn't going to be back they leave it. We have to small dogs and keep a supply of bags connected to the leash.

I have to say as the OP I am over whelmed at how many responses there are. I originally posted just to get it off my chest and I see many must feel the same way! The great thing is that I now have a list of things to not do.

Don't cut through sites.
Pick up dog stuff.
Hurry up at the dump station.
Stay off my non-existant golf cart.
Keep my 20 year old kids quiet...better yet leave them at home!
Don't use an impact driver on jacks (but I think a regular cordless drill is fine).
Keep the music down. (Does that include playing my guitar quietly?)
No glaring at others.
Wave and say hello.
Don't use lighter fluid on fires (I am in big trouble)

I think those are the big ones!

One more (after what happened a few days ago)

When at the pool - Get off your phone, iPad, kindle, pc, whatever your nose is buried in and control that 15/16/17 year old of yours who is harassing my granddaughter (16) to the point she is in tears! It's not my job to teach your son/grandson how to respect young ladies! Be thankful all I did was report him and you to office staff and not call police!!

I know what you mean. You walk past, the dog barks, the owner yells for the dog to stop barking... louder than the dogs barking, when the owner got the dog in the first place to alert him when people come to close to the house/RV/yard....The dog is only doing it's job....

That reminds me of a joke I posted the other day in the joke forum:

Yelling at a dog to stop barking doesn't work. The dog probably just thinks,

"Awesome, now we're both barking."

I've found with my dog that a small spray bottle filled with water works better than yelling.

Yelling doesn't work. Our dog trainer said it was just confirming the barking. We tried a Spray bottles air cans vibrating collars. Now we just use earplugs. They seem to work the best.
