The size of the glasses at the hotel breakfast for your apple/orange juice.

Because that peaceful view of the sun rising beside Back Tor is marred by a friggin' noisy drone buzzing about overhead...?

I remember, when staying at a hotel with a very elderly aunt (who was a complete snob) as a kid. Myself and my siblings were loving all the orange and apple juice on offer. We probably drank far too much to be fair, because it was nice... And we were kids.
My Aunt had a go at my Dad about it with words to the effect of
'How do you expect the hotel to make a profit with 'them' (us)?'

Why do it or Why be annoyed? To me, with all due respect, the answer is obvious.

I asked as I had images of you sleeping in a tent or something and getting woken up by it or something, or worse, you are miles away and spot it and get all annoyed! 😆
I'm probably spoiled with all the scenery on my doorstep to be fair, so if others wanted images, I wouldn't begrudge them that much.
It's like jetskis on Loch Lomond - People get unfeasibly angry about it and yes the noise can leave something to be desired at times, but at the same time, it's just people having fun and utilising a natural resource. Who am I to say what people can and cannot do?

Are you farknig kidding??
There is a huge difference between "enjoying natural resources" and doing stuff that is clearly ruining the experience for others.
Walking, camping, swimming, fishing, sunbathing, jet-skiiing - can you spot the odd one out?!?
ITS CALLED SELFISHNESS
Is this OK with you? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lancashire-52874321

So, if you Jetski or fly a drone you are just GOING to cause a fire from
a BBQ? 🤷
Interesting 😆
That's like saying that every single cyclist in history doesn't know what a red traffic light means
🙄🤪

Businesses that use 'haus' in their name even though they have nothing to do with Germany. There is a Manorhaus hotel in Llangollen, North Wales!

No, I probaby wasn't clear enough: the BBQs causing fires is another example of a leisure activity (for one person) that creates big problems for everyone else visiting/enjoying the area.

But, hese things can happen anyway, regardless of who it is.
Yes, it is regrettable, but the countryside has changed and evolved over thousands of years, so it is hardly unspoiled anyway.
I am in no way condoning some sh*t for brains doing something deliberately, I am just saying that people make mistakes and nothing stays the same anyway.
