I had a camp host actually tell me "Bu115h1t" and walk away when I told him I built my teardrop. He came back later in the day firing off build questions that only someone who built it would know; he was clearly trying to catch me in a lie. I answered all the questions in extremely detailed fashion until he actually admitted I probably did build it.
It's have politely told him to bugger off. I haven't had the need to pass an exam In years. Any calling BS is the same as calling me a liar. That's fightin' time. Secondly, he used profanity in front of my wife, he would have apologized.
Coming back was strike 3. I don't have a lot of tolerance for rude people, which tells me in humility I am probably a lot more rude than I think I am. That guy was itching for a fight and seriousy could easily find himself in heap big trouble if he did that to the wrong person.
At the very least, I'd have told him to his face and had a conversation with the state park. As camp host.... No.
Still...all that said. When I'm camping, it's MY time and my outdoor recroom. I'll talk the day away, but it's on my terms.. If I chose to talk to you is because I want to.
II have had a few people just walk up at gatherings...my dog usually tells me and once took on the task of security guard. But in nearly every case it starts with a hi from the road. I've never had a. Issue...except at gatherings. And I consider that an exhibit show....just part of the deal.
