Those big black Mercedes druggie-buggies pulling up at meetings and flooding the place with a bunch of mostly young people whose parents are paying for an expensive vacation away from them. Most of these people don't want to be there, contribute no money for 7th Tradition stuff (meetings becoming insolvent), and violate whatever rules the meeting place has (sex/drugs in bathrooms, trashing bathrooms, trashing area around meeting -- owners threatening to kick meeting out of venue, etc...)
