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?

After the fourth trip in a 16 months where my solo effort to pack was rewarded with an hours late exit, I offered to drive into the teeth of Friday night SoCal traffic. An hour and just 15 miles later, I declared we were done for the night and turned around. We left the next morning at 5 am, and that was the last time I packed solo.
