It never fails to amaze me how some people can be so incredibly rude and disrespectful of others. Following a stroke, I was forced to leave full time Rving and live in various long term hotels. They are able to furnish handicap accessible rooms, which I’ve needed for the past 9 years. I’ve never wanted to live in an apartment type of atmosphere, knowing that I would need to put up with disrespectful people at times, but I had no choice..
It’s 2 AM Saturday morning. I got out of bed to heed the call of nature, when I heard a large “raucous” party going on further down the hall. Although they aren’t my immediate neighbors, I decided to go to the front desk to let the night manager know about it. It’s just my way to assist other residents who may be afraid to confront the rude group in that location (I won’t tolerate people who act like idiots). The manager was able to speak to them (she spoke in Spanish, but thinks they’re Portuguese). At any rate, she got through to them. I’m surprised that no one else complained (maybe out of fear of retaliation).
When I was full time Rving I rarely had any problem with noisy neighbors as Rvers generally respect each other. There’s no chance that I’ll be in the physical condition to return to Rving. I’ll just need to keep adjusting to this unfortunate circumstance the best I can.
Thanks for letting me rant on this forum. I hope the rest of you are enjoying peace and quiet. ![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/smile.gif "smile")

I find that most people couldn't care less about anyone else. I don't even think it's a conscious thought. They just don't think about anything other than themselves. There are exceptions of course, but it's becoming more and more about "me". Often people will be inconsiderate on purpose to dare someone to say something. Like it's cool to be as provocative as possible. There are kind and considerate people out there. I try and seek them out and do my best to be one as well. Sometimes it's not easy ;-)

Glad you got them sorted with a minimum of effort, and the help from the front desk.
Agree with w2r about people.

OP here. I run a box fan near my bed at night which helps a little. However, when neighbors get out of hand the gentle whirring noise of the fan isn't enough.
Another source of contention is the fact most hotels/motels allow dogs. I've had situations where certain breeds of dogs will bark and howl all day until their owners return(may be one reason I prefer cats). Virtually all hotel/motel businesses now allow pets. Years ago, that policy was rare. Oh well, nothing can be done about rude people or pets.
How I wish I was full time RVing again! But it's not going to happen any time soon.

Funny thing about life, just when you figure you've nailed the fastballs, it throws you a curve. About RVing, anything can happen. Hope it does for you.

You have heard some politicians yammer about "Entitlements"
Well Some folks seem to think they are "Entitled" to be rude to everyone.
(Yes I know not the same thing at all but I hope you found the phrasing funny)

Seems its the times we live in nowadays. Rude and disrespectful is the way to be for some. The golden rule no longer applies.

Those that think it's cool to be as provocative as possible may run into some of their own kind that are armed and Lead might start flying, especially in the current climate

The golden rule still applies: "He who has the gold, makes the rules". "Same as it always was." There's just too many people. Way too many people.

Have they fixed the I-69 Irish Rd exit under/overpass potholes and the roadways yet? Makes it hard to get to Williams GS Co.
