Is my reasoning unreasonable? (consideration of others)

[82125]

I never close the blinds on my motorhome. To me the whole point of being in one is being able to be close to nature, seeing the sun go down and come up again.

Im on a really busy site (been here over a month, no worries in terms of security, site is well lit, security barriers and all the wardens apparently live on site). But a couple of days ago a couple arrived and seem to like having their hab door light on for no apparent (to me) reason?
Ive never seen one so bright, and its on from around midday right through to the following morning (never with any sign of them being outside to use it).

Its so bright in my bedroom its like sleeping under stadium flood lights.
Yes, i could close the windscreen blinds and re-open them every morning, but why would you put the light on if youre not using it (going outside)?
When i let my dogs out at night, I switch mine on, and turn it off once theyre done, ITS BRIGHT! (I assume) No one else wants to see that.

Im guessing they are here for New Year.
Do I:
A. Introduce myself, have a friendly chat and casually mention how god damn bright their light is at night.
B. Start closing myself in at night by shutting all blinds.
C. Harry Black over their light when they are asleep and claim to know nothing!

I am posting in jest, Im sure they are lovely, but if its on for security reasons, god help them if they ever try to go off-grid.

Another plus for cl sites less vans so less chances of it happening and if no EHU then the battery would run out.

 

[Eggs]

damn me for giving away my semi auto because it was illegal in Scotland haha!

Just get a house brick then. No time for small talk.

 

[suavecarve]

they clearly know where the switch is, arriving with it off, religiously turning it off in the morning and putting it back on at midday.
Im rather disappointed at the lack of option C votes though lol!

Option C, with A BB gun

Strange as it may seem, maybe they are unaware its on. I'm sure they don't realise it annoys you. Maybe a quick hello and mention it.

You can't expect too much, their 'tuggers' (or they don't like your use of Latin in your profile)

my education in Latin literally starts and ends with the Corps of the RE

Maybe they are using the light as a security light.
it could be possible that makes them feel safer at night.

so far as the site goes I expect it makes no difference to them even if you say it’s a safe site.
put Yours on as well then.

Ubique = everywhere?

 

[irnbru]

Perhaps they have to take their dog out during the night and like to see where they are walking. If it really is annoying you is there another plot you could move to?

 

[Janine]

Maybe it’s linked to the Hive and they don’t realise when it comes on.

if he's stuck between the toilets and an annoying punter, perhaps the warden doesn't like him?

 

[Raul]

Seriously, option A, and then, let us know if further guidance you need.

they do, as do I. Mines off though because my dogs are currently inside

Close your blinds and forget them. Life is truly too short to stress about something like this.

its fine really, Im just bored waiting for the Chelsea game to kick off on Prime

A quick chat to say you’re a stargazer and the light is blinding you, would they mind turning it off when they go to bed?

 

[irnbru]

Personally I love being in the van with the blinds all closed. I can imagine being anywhere plus I get a better sleep when its all dark but each to their own. Choice of two I see, talk to them or move. We all enjoy our camping experiences differently.

 

[Ninjabob]

In consideration to others and your own modesty - close the blinds, pretty much like everyone else does?

perhaps a misunderstanding lol! I do close the blinds in the bedroom (and close the living room divider) when i get dressed of a morning! (pulling up 2 bedroom blinds is a lot easier than opening and closing the 5 full length cab blinds!)
I leave them open otherwise for the reasons stated, and my dogs like to come and go at night as they please when im sleeping (rather than shut them out when i go to bed).

So if you close the bedroom blinds and close the divider what is the problem? Sorry I'm not understanding.

when im naked in the morning getting dressed, not when im asleep lol!
(again i think it comes under consideration of others haha!)

Easy solution, get dressed behind the divider. In all honesty I know it's not always possible depending layout .

You’re voluntarily on a site as are your neighbours , it’s a place where we all must be flexible and accept reasonable behaviour from those around us , if you can’t then don't use sites.
Keeping an awning/entrance light on at night or not closing blinds at night are not unreasonable and either should be accepted .

but some can be very bright. I had a similar problem a few months ago, so I had a chat and the matter was resolved (a lot of people do not realise that some awning lights have high & low output levels)

 

[pampam]

Just get chatting and mention light on all night,and ask nicely,you only noticed cos your blinds broke would they mind awfully switchin it off overnight blah blah. Good luck
im sayin that but id just suck it up and moan to hubby lol

I think you are being too timid, just speak to them; is it such a big deal to do that?

 

[Ivory55]

I wonder what type of site it is that people are using their lights all night, is it a doggin site ? Haha. And may be a bright light get more attention

 

[dunnah01]

They're tuggers, it's not a light it's a heater so you'd better tell them their awning has blown away

 

[3 cabbages]

Maybe they are expecting a delivery from Amazon!

 

[Scotch mist]

Option B , shut your blinds , the world doesn’t revolve around you

[tacr2man]

Have you considered that they are being friendly and have left the light on at night to make it easier for people to pop by and say hello ?
