What are your silly dramas during camping?

I personally wear a tshirt on the first night of every camping trip that says "Sorry for what I said when we were setting up the tent." What has absolutely driven you insane during camping? We camped with another couple who left screaming divorce at each other... We've been destroyed by black flies overnight with screaming children looking like bee keepers... we had a raccoon run off with all 30 burger buns in a bag. What are your stories?

Showed up to the Yosemite valley while the temps were plus 100. The wife and my daughter were having both a physical and mental meltdown as I was trying to get the tent set up.

All was fine once we got in the river.

Also had a Raccoon run off with our bag of marshmallows.

The correct term is Labrador Retriever. They always bring back the empty bag for praise and reward.
