the same pride of The Villages as the full time residents. There is a definite
difference in the manners on the road between the summer and snow bird
time. Not sure if it is really a sense of entitlement or just a lack of knowledge of the circles, etc. This lack of manners extends to the golf carts
and is not restricted to cars. I guess the answer is for the full time residents to realize there is a difference and to take that into consideration when they drive either the car or the cart.

Unfortunately, the lack of courtesy is not limited to cars and carts. We had family in from Malabar this weekend. We were in Publix Saturday afternoon and I have never encountered so many downright rude people as there were in the store that day in all the 8 years we have been here. Even our daughter noticed and commented on it. She asked me if TV is this way all the time now.

I certainly hope not.
