When I was preparing to leave La Posa South to move to Plamosa Road I got in line to do the dump and fill routine.
While I was sitting in the dump lane a woman came walking up beside my rig so I rolled my window down but she went on by and talked to the people ahead of me in line. I figured they were friends but decided later she stopped to talk to them because they had Canadian license plates.
When my turn came to dump I pulled in and did a little inside prep including getting my container of dump gear from its storage compartment. When I got outside I saw there was a small rig pulled right up behind me instead of waiting back a bit as most do to see which of the two spots would empty first. And the lady who had walked by my rig was standing by my dump as if waiting for me.
So in a teasing voice I asked if she had come to help me. She turned away without speaking.
Then a man appeared offering to help me in a heavily accented voice. I said I didn’t need help but he could do so if he really wanted to. So he tried to help. But he didn’t know my system so he finally had to move aside and let me do it.
When I was done dumping I moved up to wait for the fresh water fill. Soon that same rig came up behind me again with the not so helpful man driving it. That same woman got out of the passenger side and started yelling to the people who had been ahead of me. She was speaking French. Her body language said she was asking if she could go around us to get water from spigots further forward. Getting a negative answer, she turned and made vicious looking movements towards her husband to indicate he should not move an inch. I’m quite sure he was used to obeying her.
When their turn came to fill she didn’t help but she did supervise.
Apparently she was in a big hurry. But all she did was keep interrupting people who were otherwise doing what needed to be done.
So, if you are ever in a line and you see this Itasca Cambria with Canadian plates:
Or this woman:
Ignore her. Everything will go smoother if you do.

HAHAHAHA…don’t some people just so much nerve! They act like they are the most important thing on this earth. I say…Get a life!
She must have been from Montreal. When we worked in Lake George, they were some of our worst guests. They would even get upset if we didn’t speak French!!
I agree with Marsha. They think they are so important and should be granted special privileges just cause. I hate to lump all folks together but the French Canadians in the park we were in when we went to Florida were the rudest people ever.
Yup, Had to be from Quebec ! I try really really really hard not to be prejudice – but fail every time because the vast majority of them are rude and have attitudes !! Yes, Even (and perhaps more so) against their fellow ‘Canadians’.
You mean you wouldn’t let her go ahead of you? It’s amazing some of the folks you see. This world certainly has all kinds.
you should have calmly and SLOWLY gone into your rig.
then you should have come out with one roll of toilet paper and a small container of water.
walked up to her.
and said sweetly “i’m so sorry. no one here knows why you are in such a hurry. either you need to take a “dump” or you need a drink of water. i am giving you the opportunity for both. merci.”
