Chinese lanterns my God are people that stupid..wait don't answer that.
I clearly set something off regarding pitching in front of your tent.
I had one man through our pitch in July whilst we were eating breakfast outside, he filled his kettle up with the tap. He then started cleaning his teeth at the tap, I suggested to him that before he spits out his toothpaste on our pitch he could clean his teeth at his own pitch with his own tap or go to the shower block.
It looked a genuine mistake but a daft one he had been at the site 5 days earlier than us and wondered why he was getting some odd looks from the previous occupiers of our pitch

It's better to ask a silly question than make a silly mistake.

We were to a weekend car show a couple weeks ago, late one night a group of people across the campsite started letting off chinese lanterns and within a couple of minutes site security came over and asked them to stop as a couple of years someone let one of and it set light to a big oak tree. They should be banned in my opinion.

I'd rather pick up ciggie butts than dog 5hit! Mind you, I'd rather not have any of it. The worst I found on one pitch was when the previous tenants had clearly just been emptying the contents of their portapotti in the bushes behind the pitch, the smell hit you from 50 feet away. I complained and got allocated another pitch, yes. But eventually the site got so full that the pitch did get occupied and even after some rubber glove and hose work by the unfortunate warden you could still get the odd whiff walking by.
OH has a jam jar for his ciggie butts, we've carried that same jam jar around with us for over 25 years now. Old friend!

We had a guy walking a dog come over to where our group were camping last weekend, let the dog have a crap around 30 feet away from our tents but in the general area of the group, and then ran off, possibly to where he was pitched never to be seen again.
Also, we had a space hopper bounce off the tent in the middle of the afternoon. Said space hopper owner never to be seen again - maybe it fell from the sky. So upon packing up I gave it to the kids next door as nobody had claimed it.
And this was at a renowned bad site. ;-) There were cars banging out music at the other end of the site, but we were well away from it in the more relaxed part of the site. So not a bad weekend all in all - I had expected it to be far worse, but it was ok - if a bit lively and expensive at times (£4.20 for a pint of lager  ).

We found a pile of pooh in the showers in France - first trip out for my OH and it almost put him off. It was in a block with the drain along the back - I wondered at first what the strange shower gel scent was... then I noticed The Pile. Merde.
