Several of my friends and my wife and I included have been told that point blank by snowbirds. I can also say as a fact that believe it or not even the Businesses are ready by the end to see them go because of their rudeness. My wife and I go out to eat almost every night and have gotten to know many of the servers and owners of eating places and they have a hard time with them.

Army Guy's comments weren't teasing or in jest. They were mean spirited. I don't think "a large portion of snowbirds" should be called rude, that's a sweeping generalization. However everyone is entitled to their own opinion. That's the purpose of a Forum. Long live TOTV.
