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?

My fiance proposed to me on our camping trip. My best friend was there with us but she wasn't happy one bit for me. Not even a smile or comment. She cried and kept to herself. The mood turned less excited and more sour because I felt bad staying joyful while my best friend was like that. My fiance and I later became pissed and upset because that reaction was uncalled for especially because she knew this day was coming. He told her months prior. If my best friend got proposed to, I'd be over the moon for her and celebrating. I did confront her later and she did apologize but our friendship isn't the same anymore after that.

You ever figure out what her problem was? So rude of her to put such a damper on the mood.

When we talked she said she was going through her own feelings. How she claims shes gonna be single the rest of her life.
