Are you afraid your custom-woven virgin raw silk upholstery in your Rolls Royce will get bleached if you have to roll the window down on a sunny day, long enough to stick a card out and pull it back again?
I mean - what kind of obsessive compulsive disorder or phobia must one have, to be SO averse to using a gate card to get through a gate, in a community where the advertisement shows that there are gates, that people use cards to get through? Why in the world did you move to the Villages at all, if this is so profoundly offensive to your sensibilities that the very thought of using a gate card to get a gate open sends your mind spiraling into rage?
It's a gate. It's a card. It's not a big deal. The [religious] Space Lasers aren't going to come out of the card and steal your soul like the cameras in the microwave ovens do.
Such silliness.

I used to keep mine in my wallet. That meant I had to dig out my wallet from my back pocket every time I wanted to used it.
And people complain when they're stuck behind someone digging out their card...
Have you seen people drop them when reaching out the window? I have. It's a comedy of errors watching them try to pick up the card since they can't get out of their car...
IIRC, there was a days long thread about a "nasty" gate attendant who didn't run out and pick up someone's card who had dropped it on the ground...
But just clip it to the visor! Okay, what to I use when I'm in a different car?
You're right... Complaining that people don't want to use the card is such silliness...
