This person would never be allowed in my home ever again, and I would refuse to go to any function where we know he will be. I hope your husband agrees.

One of the first things you are taught in a self-defense class is to NEVER leave the scene with someone. That's how you get raped, kidnapped, and/or killed.

Your friend is an idiot, and frankly, I would never take her anywhere again. I will not be held responsible for someone who has such a low level of boundaries for her own personal safety.
No...we told him to leave after he walked in to the RV without knocking, insisting that we put our bathing suits back on, go back to the lake, and do shots.

After he finally left, Kelly and I found out that Kim had gone for a night ride with him.

He's never been to my home. He's never been to any of our homes. We were at Kelly's camping lot, thus the RV.

Oh, so this is an established lakeside campground kind of place? Is it a members-only place or day use fee type of place? Not that it matters, but just curious...

This is a place called Woodland Lakes, in Missouri. It's a gated community of camping lots, and permanent homes. It's private for owners and their friends and family.

Woodland Lakes has several lakes...12 I think. Some are more suitable for swimming than others.

My husband and I have lots as well, but we were staying at Kelly's.

No problem with other people joining us in the tub. It's to be expected.

I was talking about us ignoring their presence after the clown show. But if they had entered addressing us cordially of course we would have acknowledged them and not risked being called "stuck-up b*******s" which is usually how the rest of this game goes.

When they saw their clumsy antics weren't going to get our attention they left. There's more than one way to solve a problem.

So in some sense, he's the neighborhood creep, probably known to many as such.

That's a possibility.

I would not have characterized him as such the first 2x I was around him.

The first time we (husband and I) were around him, we had a nice time, and we were in the water at least half the day. Later, he invited us to join him and his friends at a gathering place (within the community), which we did, and he blasted his music so loud, we could not hear conversation. And our group wasn't the only group there.

The music included some rap with lots of bad words, that was so loud. I was a little embarassed...I thought it was rude to all the other people there, who might not appreciate deafening music, and "P**sy, and F*ck, G Damn every other word. But HE was not behaving obnoxiously.

The next weekend was the same scenario, but this time there was a live band, and the mood was mellow, and pleasant, and we were talking to LOTS of people...and John was there but not monopolizing anything.

So, while I DID pick up on 'a little bit off' I didn't pick up on 'creep' until this last incident.

^^This. As for the man, he's an insecure alcoholic who thinks he has to buy people in order to force them to spend time with him. And that they owe him something.

He sounds like if someone made a human being out of hot dog water Jell-O. Obnoxiously awful.
