Uncommon solutions to Common campground problems

[Neemer]

Keeping with the crazy theme, perhaps if one sat on his patio with an old-school hockey mask and a chainsaw...

I think I picked up 20lbs of trash when we stayed up in Georgia on a recent trip. Deli containers...cigarette butts...cellophane wrappers...metal and plastic utensils...dog crap...zip ties...beer caps...aluminum pull tabs...tent stakes...nails in trees...every imaginable candy wrapper...boat trailer parts...and on and on.

Stayed at several campgrounds where we did the exact same thing. Two things really griped me about this. 1) the people that do it, and 2) the owners of the campground for not cleaning it up before I got there.

After all, what's that 3 hours dead space for between them checking out and me checking in?

You have to love the universal dumpster aka fire pit.

A simple " Please Show some respect and don't walk through my campsite" usually suffices. If I get nasty response, I pull out my phone and pretend to call the ranger.

This one takes the cake. We were in Gardiner, MT a few years ago, and a lady from the RV next to us would come over sit at our table smoke a cigarette, and call friends and family. The second time it happened I went out and took our table cloth to place on the table, she never moved but took time out of her conversation to tell me she had better cell reception at my table than hers and she wouldn't be much longer. I was mostly speechless. They left the next morning but I had decided I would turn the table on its side when we left the next day. You can't make this kind of disregard for common courtesy up!

You are a better person than me! I would have placed numerous thumb tacks on each bench of that picnic table after the first time I caught her sitting on it. If she avoided those I would probably try some honey.

Time to clean the shot gun

OK on the porch

I used to do that when my daughter's not so nice boyfriends came to visit. I'd tell them I did vasectomies with a shotgun.

Just told mine I believe in shot gun weddings.
