Until yesterday. I know the following story is a storm in a teacup, but what a show of bad manners I was "treated" to. I had driven to Lake Sumter Sales Center to meet visiting friends and look at properties for sale with one of the agents. As I backed my golf cart into a parking space, in the ample and not full parking lot to the rear of the Center, a car, with three women in it came at a good speed toward me (as I was reversing into the slot), and drove around me and into the space I had already reversed 2/3 of the way into on the right..  I was so stunned, although jammed on my break, that I sat in the cart as the three women (ages approximately 60's, 40's and a thirty something, and remarkably similar in looks) brazenly stepped out of their car and tried not to make eye contact with me, still parked half in and half out of the space. When I asked "why did you pull into this space when I was already in it, especially as there open spaces all around us.?" The driver, looked very annoyed that I had spoken, and responded" well, I did not know WHAT you were doing"... Deciding I could not argue with ignorance, I let it go. My imagination went into overdrive of all I should have said, should have done, "woulda coulda shoulda"....  AAARRRGGGG |
Everytime I see a posting like this, it reminds me of one lady in particular who responded to me posting about shopping carts being left everywhere in the parking lots, persons emptying ashtrays in the grocery lots, dogs off leashes, and rude and nasty people, etc. If you are that person, I want to say to you ,,,,, I TOLD YOU SO !!!!! Do you recall your words when you said you had never witnessed rudeness on the part of Villagers.
