I hate my tent. It is sh!te because it takes almost an hour to put up even with the help of another person.
I hate when the weather decides to be a prick & pisses all over my freshly lit fire.
I hate waking up in the tent in the morning, its like waking up in a huge steam bag.
I hate the unbelievably annoying experience of taking down my tent when im hungover.
I hate the prolonged bullsh!t task of taking everything out of the car & hauling it back into the house.

Apart from that its brilliant.

I'd be inclined to agree with OP.. I think the last time I stayed in a tent was 4 of us in a 2 man with only 2 sleeping blankets in the pissing rain. Just sat drinking for the night in the dark sweatbox.

Camping became one of those things that gets the lethal weapon reaction after the last time. Waking up hungover in a greenhouse environment after 3 hours sleep. I am too old for that ... stuff.

OP get yourself a hammock, none of this tent cr*p. Easier to assemble/take down. More cosy than a real bed. Doesn't feel like a greenhouse the next morning. Only downside is you need trees to tie it to, but definately worth it.

I have a really tall tent that you can almost stand up in, it helps get some air circulation going so the oven effect isn't so bad

downside is a half-decent gust would probably leave me homeless but sure that's life

Hotels ftw.

I was asked once to go camping with mates. They couldn't understand why I wasn't jumping with excitement at the thought of sleeping in the freezing cold with rain pelting down, getting drenched and having to sh*t in a field.

I suggested a B&B instead but was met with even more confusion and a hint of anger.

Enjoy yourselves, crazy people.

That's what you get for bringing homosexuals with a fetish for urine back to your tent.

Slag.

We, the human race, have become masters of our environment.
We have evolved, going from caves and rubbing two sticks together, to building towering edifices with power sources, shelter from the elements, and the ability to change the temperature, either up or down.

Why would you willingly turn your back on millenia of evolution and go camping?

Personally, I think the Army's taken the fun out of camping for me.

The only time I went 'camping' was when I went to Oxegen a few years ago. None of us knew how to put up a tent, and it collapsed at least 5 times during that weekend.
