Default What;s With The Attitude in "America's Friendliest Hometown"?

What's with the grumpy old men in golf carts? ???

On numerous occasions, when in the car, I have had occasion to attempt to allow a cart to pass in front of me. Perhaps I was stopped at a gate, or maybe I was not certain of the cart's intentions so I slowed or stopped. Notwithstanding the "carts yield to cars" rule, if a car is stopped and has waived a cart on, I see no reason for the cart driver to flip you the bird or for the auto driver to be the recipient of a verbal fusilade. Can't we just be courteous from time to time?

Maybe I'll modify my behavior and plow on through. In my profession I am always looking out for the other guy, but as my boss says, "don't worry about those small boats, thousands of stupid people get killed every day". Perhaps the same applies to carts.
