I thought it was a funny cartoon, too, Larry....and you're right, the topic originally was about the availability of spots at various classes. Oh how we can stray offtopic, but in reality, they are related.
Maybe we were more fortunate than some others when we were looking. Our sales agent was more than honest about situations....especially about the golf scheduling situation. It was something we were comfortable with...having had a more difficult time with getting tee times at the country club we belonged to. This particular method seemed more fair. Again, off topic, sorry. Classes are indeed crowded during peak season here...and they always were as far as I can tell. In some instances guests of Villagers were taking up spaces that probably should have been saved for community members. I think that situation has been addressed, but I'm not totally certain. In my estimation, there seems to be a difference in attitudes between those who are here as frogs and a few who are new to TV and not frogs, I said a few not all...they don't have much time to spend here and want to utilize their amenities fee to the max. I can understand that even if they sometimes forget it's their option not to be here full time. I've also heard some, again a FEW, say that froggies have all summer to use the facilities...not really a good attitude if I'm cutting them some slack, but soon, they'll adjust too and take up another interest.
Other communities may be less crowded, have some facilities, but they don't have as many and as many recreaction facilities...golf courses, pools, tennis courts, pickleball courts, etc. Everyone has to decide what suits them in this particular point of their lives. Some want hustle and bustle, others prefer something more serene or sedate.
Again, is the area too crowded? For some, obviously it is and they have been unfortunate enough to meet some who are selfish, nasty and think only of themselves and to hell with others. At this time, at least for my household, I'm not too bothered by those who need to be first, the best or have things their way. Hopefully I'll not change my feelings about those situations because right now, I'll just smile. Keeps them guessing...
I'm trying to learn how to sign. Maybe I'll not sign "What are you trying to tell me," as Doodlegirl posted, but something else entirely....
Oh, I'm bad.
