She then said to me in a very snotty voice "If you're in that big of a hurry, just go ahead of me" and walked around to stand about 5 ft behind me. I looked at her and I said excuse me? and she said "I don't like it when someone crowds me, I got to have at least 5 ft of personal space." I told her I wasn't trying to crowd her I just wanted to set my drinks down cause they were cold, and I stepped back and I said "Knock yourself out."
She looked back and said "Knock YOURself out. I got to have space around me."
The Villages is supposed to be the friendliest Hometown, well I don't think so-- sometime in the last 10 years or so it's gotten the rudest most belligerent types of people I have met in a long time-- not since I lived in New York.

Hey There New Friend, that I've yet to meet, but hope to one day soon~
Don't read too much into that nutcase. That is all she is!
I worked in mental health and there are some real loonybins out there!
But then, there are people who adhere to their psychiatrists and mental health specialist plan for them, such as daily doses of medication too control their public phobias and outbursts.
All that I'm saying is... don't paint us all with a broad brush. Most of us have a ball in this world of happiness and excellent fun and sunshine.
Most of us will really, really enjoy what you bring to the party.
Smile. WELCOME ABOARD.
REMEMBER- IF a person is a "meany" (or fill in the blank) at 30 years old, their personality is pretty much set by that age. That's the way they PAN-OUT at 60, unfortunately for elbow room lady who is clearly OFF her meds.
