Camping

You are camping outdoors with a group of people, you feel you do more
that your fair share of the work, yet things aren't getting done, do
you complain to the others, do you do the work yourself, or do you
just not let it get done?

Sometimes I find people simply don't realize what all needs to
be done and that someone is doing it so I will usually just stop
doing the extra effort for a while so the needed tasks become
obvious. Not to be nasty or punative but just as a way of
making what might not be clear, clear.
Then if things continue to backup I'll examine if my standards
might be unreasonable. (Is it fair to expect that the paper be
taken to the recycle bin immediately after it's been read or that
there *never* be dishes in the sink?) So sometimes I just do it
because I know it's just a weirdness on my part.
But then sometimes I let everyone have it.

If the other people are doing basically nothing, I raise this as
a topic for immediate discussion as soon as I recognize the situation
and can think of a strong but tactful introduction. If the other
people are doing stuff, just not in proportion to the workload, what
I would do depends on what I would be doing if I weren't doing
their work for them -- I might just carry on & say nothing.

I think, Popcorn, it's because if a group of men are camping and one man is
doing some work, then all the men will follow suit from machismo... --but-- if
a woman is doing work, hell, let her get it, why should I bother? <brighn has
come to the conclusion that many men are, after all, pigs>

I'd take a quasi-leadership role if I felt my co-campers
weren't doing what needed to be done. It's very possible that
they don't quite know what to do.

I'd take the necessary food and gear and set up camp _myself_ about 20
miles away....let the lazy *explictive deleted* fend for themselves.. :)

many people are followers and need a leader to get them going. I'd
delegate, and after all tasks were assigned and I was sure thay
were doing their jobs, I'd sit back and relax while enjoing the
sight of others hard at work. Maybe I'd eat my chocolate bonbons.

On an expedition grade hike duties would have been planned out in advance with
a designated trailmaster. Jobs have to be done as planned or you dont belong
on this level of professionalism, or on an expedition grade hike; however in
a more relaxed environment such as a state park camping trip I would do the
little extra till it got under my skin and then say something tactfully.
