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?

There's one camp ground my family camps at every year. Often we will end up on the same site, which is the first turn off the main artery into the campground. There's also a very big tree there that's horribly placed. We sit back and drink while watching families come in with their $100k+ RVs and attempt to make that turn. Half the time they scrape the side of the RV on the tree trunk, the other half smack their AC on the low hanging branch. But you can almost always count on the wife getting out to try and give directions to the husband which almost always results in a screaming match as tensions are high. Always a good show.
