When dealing with a senior citizen you are many times dealing "senoir mental problems." They honestly don't realize what they are doing. It is not uncommon for a spouse to say to you, "I hope my husband isn't bothering you." You have to learn to just "walk away." They won't even remember that you walked on them. <br /><br />Try this next time: <br /><br />"Bob, we just arrived and have to finish setting up - talk to you later" and walk back into your RV. <br /><br />"John, I need to finish a project, catch you later" and walk back in." <br /><br />Whatever you come up with, you are not being rude by walking away with an excuse to do so.<br /><br />Jerry X Sheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12798737911182528809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180460645169293250.post-35534340537087748452016-04-05T14:35:49.944-07:002016-04-05T14:35:49.944-07:00How about the person who is "cornered" i...How about the person who is "cornered" into listening... and listening...and listening to the guy "just trying to be "friendly". My husband and I love to RV all over the country many months a year but sometimes find ourselves cornered by a talker. After a few minutes of listening to their tales of their grandchildren, their rig, their medical history, their military history,etc. we try to politely excuse ourselves... but they just keep on regaling us with their life. After another 30 minutes, we realize they don't have a clue that complete strangers are not necessarily fascinated by their entire life history.

I still "wander" the campgrounds whenever we go camping just to see who I can meet. If I get tired of walking I pull out my Mandolin and start practicing and often it turns in to a impromptu jam session. it is all about enjoying life.

I t...Hey,wait a minute. Did my wife post this? Ha.<br /><br />I think she is missing an important point. Many of us enjoy talking with others about our RV experience. Place to go, hints and tips, what's new, what works or will not work. Even if they are staying in one park for the whole summer, others are coming and going. If her husband is not "picking" on just one couple/RV I doubt if he is annoying anyone. If he is going over to the same RV/Motorhome 4-5 time a day, then yes, you have a problem. Otherwise, let him go talk while you read your book without interruption.Jerry X Sheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12798737911182528809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180460645169293250.post-68687489354106184642016-04-02T10:20:40.804-07:002016-04-02T10:20:40.804-07:00Love the last line.Love the last line.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09912743503033058478noreply@blogger.com
