Gee, this could lead to a really good thread - how to annoy the people in
the campsite next to you!

Like at Buses by the Beach last May when I camped next to some folks - no,
they appeared and camped next to me! - who set up a tent off their van and
decorated it with blinking Christmas lights. When I suggested that perhaps
it would be gracious if they did not leave those things blinking all night
long, they seemed really surprised!

Yah, I coulda used that BB gun!  But actually they did unplug the lights.
And then I moved my van anyway.
