Over the many years I have lived in the Villages, I've seen a few parking lot accidents . I saw a woman back into a man's car in front of Publix and she wasn't aware of it. He yelled for her to stop and she did but she claimed she didn't do it. Her bumper hit the side of his car and she just didn't feel anything.
I was talking to a lady friend at The Villages post office and a woman backed out of her parking space. And she kept backing and backing and backing. She went so far as to knock my friend down. She got out of the car and complained that we shouldn't have been there. Then while I was helping my friend to get up, the woman got back in her car and drove off.
Once when I went to Spanish Springs town square I parked in back of the Church. As I was about to get out of my car I saw a van try to get into a tight parking space. Pulling in at a poor angle, he misjudged and sideswiped the car that he was trying to park next to. He might have been drunk to be so unaware of it. But someone on the passenger side must have told him about it because he pulled out and took off without leaving a note.
Who knows what's going on in some people's minds. It talkes all kinds and people here are from all over the U.S..
