Random people walking over others' pitches

I’m not convinced it has anything to do with being new, it’s just an attitude that some folk have. Similar to those who ignore social distancing when you approach them on a path. There is plenty of space but they insist on continuing hand in hand forcing you to deviate into the bushes. An explanation in those circumstances rarely goes down well.🤷🏻‍♀️

There is a more of it seems these days, of the attitude of  why should my life  be affected when others are not "advised" they are not complying with what is classed as acceptable ways to behave

Speeding on sites?     Never told by site staff

Loose dogs                Ditto

Speeding cyclists.     Ditto

Loud music.               Ditto

Walking across your pitch,

When reading reviews it is very rare that the reviewer ever mentions it to the purpetrator

It seems some even more lately  are not prepared to put their head above the parapet ,and expect others will do it for them, ,in case as more often happens an aggressive attitude is taken 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Maragowan is a beautiful site in lovely area, unfortunate this photo does not do it justice, there are always parts of some sites that we would prefer not to pitch.  Don’t be put off by this! 

Agree Steve. I don’t think it’s because there are lots of new Members, there have always been a few folks that don’t have an inbuilt measure of right from wrong, no different from any other walk of life.

I can’t help thinking that our society gets a tiny bit more selfish and intolerant though, a creeping dilution of caring enough about ourselves and others as well as the environment around us. One of my dislikes of TV and other media in the main is the amount of bad behaviour, sensationalism and creating a peep show out of the behaviour of others. It can be hard sometimes putting up with really bad behaviour you witness, but nowadays the reaction even a friendly “please don’t do that” might cause isn’t worth the risk in some instances. 

My concern with having a "quiet word" with anybody these days, for whatever reason, is that you don't know how people will react. Although we hope it wouldn't happen if you suddenly get an adverse/aggressive  reaction from someone that causes more stress than the initial transgression? It is fairly obvious in life that many people don't have much sense of Spatial Awareness and we can all probably think of examples of where we witness that. 99% of this problem can be designed out of campsites as others have said. Even then it's not foolproof as Margaret witnessed at Moreton in Marsh last week. We were in a cul de sac and behind our pitch was the path to reception separated by a three bar fence, probably four feet high. The people in the motorhome behind us, probably in their forties, returning from a day out, climbed over the fence rather than walk another 150 yards!!! It had no impact on us but it was just a surprise.

I’d still love it if someone can explain to me how a person walking on a small bit of grass(or other) that you rent for a tiny part of your life takes away from you or hurts you in any way. I’m genuinely stumped by the whole thing. It’s going full Lord of the manor thing-it isn’t yours, you don’t suffer🤷🏻‍♂️. It’s just a thing that some folk suffer from I think.            
please will someone explain how & in what way it hurts them?🤷🏻‍♂️ 

 

That made me smile DK. 😁 It has to be an easily climbed fence nowadays for me, the spirit is occasionally willing, but the ageing bones are more wary! 😂
