He finally stepped up on the curb and yelled at the top of his lungs "Pedestrians have the right-of-way". What a jerk!!

I would like to add that this man was not handicapped in any outward physical form.

Was that you?

I truly did not mean to be so cynical with this post. I guess I was just hurt and aggravated by this man's actions. I was all ready with a smile and a wave as I do with everyone when I am a passenger in our golf cart. We gave him every opportunity by slowing down and being careful. In return, we got a dressing down that surprised the heck out of me!

The scenario I expected was a smile and a wave as a "Since I live in The Villages, Florida's Friendliest Hometown, thanks for letting me cross this busy road without getting killed" gesture instead of what was akin, to me, a verbal finger.

He really hurt my feelings!

Why can't we all just get along?
