I don't understand the big surprise at finding pushy, selfish, and entitled people around here. By the time people are retired, they may feel that they have made enough compromises in their life so now they are going to do things their way. They have followed all the rules until now, and from here-on it's time to have more fun. They have worked hard to retire in style, and they have no use for the people around them who have not. Maybe they are just more grumpy because of the aging process. Maybe they resent the injustices in society, and want to strike back in some way. We may not find many of these personalities where we came from, because of population diversity. But, a retirement community does have a high concentration of them.
