To kick up a fuss tomorrow in reception?

[whensitmyturn]

At a park dean/hoseasons resort in Scotland, been to a couple of others before, never had any problems but first time to this particular one. First night In a static caravan and all of us have just been woken by at least 6 men screaming, shouting and swearing in the last half an hour in the caravan right next to us and they're still going. I didn't think places like this allowed single sex groups? It's actually terrifying, I've rang night security, but no answer and have left a message. It's horrible the kids have all been woken up and are scared.

I can't believe someone would put that large a group of men in amongst families.

I'm going straight to reception to speak to them in the morning, can we ask to be moved? There's no way I can stay in this caravan another night with all of them a few feet away and for night security not to even answer is massively poor.

Our heating is broken and they said they would send someone to fix it and no- ones turned up and it's 4 degrees. I've never complained before on any holiday but I'd actually rather be at home.
Aibu to kick up a fuss tomorrow morning? Or what should I say to them?

I'd be raging at the heating not working and would want to be moved regardless of the neighbours! It's bloody freezing now at night!

I don't know if groups of men really are statistically more likely to cause problems than groups of females

Yes they are. There really isn't any dispute over the statistics.

but even if they are we are supposed to treat people without prejudice

Being concerned about holidaying next to a group of single men onnthe piss is a reasonable concern. When something is evidence based and concerning the safety of you and your children it is really not necessary to treat people without prejudice.

Imagine, for example, being told you aren't getting a job because you're statistically more likely to take time off for child birth. We've supposedly agreed these things aren't on

Being concerned about the safety of being in a caravan next to a group of loud, aggressive drunk men is nothing like not employing a woman in case she gets pregnant. Completely false equivalency.

I'm very glad that the park have taken your complaint seriously & are doing their best to help you OP.

I hope you enjoy the rest of your holiday in your luxury caravan in the Lake District .

As an Owner on a Haven park, I have experienced similar to you. Also, when another privately owned caravan was let out to a stag do. I have also experienced the same caravan being rented out to a hen party (some Owners just don't give a shit about the rules). There are reasons that these family holiday parks do not rent to single sex groups. They want families. Sure, families are not always respectful and quiet - but experience must have shown that in general you get less trouble from family groups than single sex groups of adults!

I don't know if groups of men really are statistically more likely to cause problems than groups of females

In my 13 years experience of static caravan ownership, I would say that groups of women can be very loud (when drunk generally) but nowhere near as threatening or violent (generally to each other) as groups of men I have experienced.

Sorry to hear it's been so rubbish. A new park and caravan will be like a new holiday. Hopefully you will have a good time from now onwards. Were you at Wemyss?

It is, but expecting any group of men to be kept away from families as a matter of course is prejudiced.

But most sites have rules barring all male and all female groups. They do it because they're family resorts and don't want loud drunken behaviour disturbing families. It's not being prejudiced just sensible.

Of course they bloody are. Look at who commits the vast majority of the serious and violent crime across the world.
