Today’s Weekday Forecast is brought to you by Mother Nature and the residents of Houston Texas. The same is expected this weekend, next week, the week after that, and so on, for what might seem like forever. While the extreme drought conditions still persist, and the extreme heat advisory remains in effect, and there appears to be no end in sight, and the day to day weather conditions in the Houston Area seem to be only a small part of the problems at hand.

While this reporter has talked to many people that have lived in numerous areas of Texas, there seems to be an underlying personality taint that seems to be predominate of Metro-Houston residents… not all, but a high percentage never the less. While we can only state the facts as they are shown to be true… there does seem to be a very high percentage of guests visiting here from the Metro-Houston area that exemplify the above taints to perfection. We have met a lot of nice people, but this is over shadowed by the anything but courteous, ever complaining, malcontents, that seem to think that the rules never apply to them, and time frames for amenities, as well as the staff as a whole, should be at their beckoned call. Another “normal” guest summed it all up… and I quote:

[ This was a response from one guest to another on a discussion on Facebook for the campground, when one guest couldn’t get their way and was openly condemning the campground and staff, and fighting the rules as they applied to them, and another guest answered the challenge.]

"No" is the Answer. When "NO" is the answer, it is not a welcome response. Do you ever want to do something and the answer is "NO"? Do you get a Attitude with a capital "A" when you can't get your way? Do you expect that the rules shouldn't apply to you? Do you think it's all about you? Do you just want to turn your kids loose without supervision? Do you want to party until 2 am? Do you want to do whatever you want, whenever you want? Do you get upset when others have to say something to your kids because you weren't supervising them? Do you think that courtesy is only one way to you, and not an consideration from you to others? Do you want to be argumentative when you can't get your way? Do you always consider yourself right, despite the rules? Do you blame others for your attitude? Do you fault them for not being friendly when you act like a mindless malcontent that relentlessly and constantly are clueless, careless, self centered, selfish, argumentative, and have a total lack of courtesy to anyone else? Do you think others are rude to you when you can't get your way acting the way you do? I'm sure everyone thinks that this isn't you. Some of you would be wrong, and you wonder why you feel others are rude to you! They tell you "NO", you can't do what you want, it's a safety issue or against the rules, and you get mad, and get a attitude, and think who ever told you "No", is rude. If this happens to you a lot, examine yourself, and think about why this is happening to you. Maybe you could do one of two things. Change your ways cause you are the problem. Yes, "No" is the answer to you. Grow up, be an adult, act your age, be responsible, or please go somewhere else for your vacation. My family and friends that come here often don't really care to have you around us, being miserable, and making everyone around you miserable. I feel bad for the staff that has to deal with you and be the blunt of your abusive nature just because you can't get your way. If you don't like following the rules and acting with any degree of courtesy towards others, please be happily miserable some place else. This will not doubt be a blessing to you, certainly a blessing to other families on vacation looking to have a good time, and a God send to the staff that has to endure your abusive nature.

Facts are facts… and I report them and call them as I see it. But to myself, other Texan’s ( from other parts of the state), and everyone from other states… there is something fundamentally wrong with a lot of folks from the Metro-Houston Area. Learning to deal with them on a daily basis is quite the challenge.

Their attitude was best summed up with a statement that was once said to me… “We pay a lot of money to be here ($34 a night for a campsite), and the staff is here to serve us”… we’ll call you when we need you”. My silent thought was… “okay” … let me know how that works out for you! It’s a campground, not a “Scandals” all inclusive vacation resort, or a time share, for several hundred dollars a day… it’s a campground. Some people need to get real… but, maybe that’s just my opinion. Houston’s right, and the rest of us are all wrong… probably not!

This is not intended to offend the “normal and nice” people if the area… just to those deserving malcontents that choose to try to make everyone else’s experience miserable and enjoy harassing everyone around them… especially the staff that can’t just tell them off like any other guest would. So if you’ve never been to Houston… be fore warned… so you know what to expect! Lots of rude, crude, and inconsiderate people. And that’s the Undisputed Facts!
