I need to vent abit, so get some tea, coffee, or wine and sit back and help me figure this out.
We winter at a RV park where we have always been liked at least we thought we were liked:blink: but this winter people are going out of their way to be rude to us:blush: and I know why, here's what happened last winter
Christmas Eve at the RV park, well they have a gift exchange they call it a white elephant gift exchange, it's open to everyone in the RV park, but mostly the old regulars attend, they have snacks, and do the exchange, your suppose to get a gift that cost from $10.00 to $20.00, you get a number when you give them your gift they call the numbers one at a time and you go up and choice what gift you like wrapped. We seemed to have a ok time last year until someone received a gift they felt wasn't worth the $10-$20.00
, so they told the manager at the park they were unhappy with their gift, so at the end of the party the manager stood up and said I would like whoever brought this gift (he held it up) to come and exchange their gift because he felt the gift wasn't worth the $ we were suppose to spend. I sat at my table of 12 and was livid, the manager continued to bring up the gift two more times and ask whoever bought the gift to excahnge their gift and leave it on the pool table. I was so upset because someone's feeling were crushed, I should have taken my gift up and exchanged mine for that gift, but I didn't yes I regret it sooooo much, I was so taken back by the whole thing that I left early. The next day I go to the mail room and here's a letter posted about the gift again:angry: they left the letter up for two weeks:huh: and then sent out a newsletter asking for the the person to bring back the gift they had taken and replace with the gift they felt wasn't worth enough.
At that point I spoke up to everyone I ran into that was at the party, I told them I couldn't believe this happened and I felt it wasn't about the gift but the giver. I believe with all my heart that poor person will never look at Christmas the same way, their heart had to be broken. I don't regret speaking up I just wish I would have exchanged my gift for that one.
Now we are being snubbed:blush:, dh worries that the same group of people will try to cause us issues when our dogs bark once in a while. I really don't care, we have always been good RVers and will continue, so do you think I over stepped? I don't but maybe I need a second opinion here. Thanks
