I believe there is a lot of this here. Many don't know how to use the circles when driving and their confusion leads to those who know getting upset. Then we have the natural angry person and the villager's are not all "happy people". A very good illustration of this are the posters to the OP's complaint and are the ones who try use it as an excuse to voice wise cracks, awful humor, and just being rude. Doing this is a fact that the persons are angry and release this anger through attempts at putting someone down. What is ironic is that the person is part of the rude being discussed and my bet is most are year around residents as are we. Net: We should respect the person who was upset and if we disagree be respectful in responding and not demonstrating the same attitude and negative behavior as being challenged. Of course there are "snowbirds" who are angry as there are villager's. I believe it is safe to say that "wise cracks" and poor humor is just another form of anger.


Well I will say this. I don't like folks with an absence of a funny bone. I like them to be witty and disarming. AND I will also point out that there are thousands of stand up comics out of work.


And many post on here.
