I don't think it's a world wide problem, I think it's TV. People are just not able to mind their own business.

I think it is worldwide, but The Villages is a "complaint-driven" community as official policy wrt deed restrictions. Does that mindset perhaps encourage residents to speak up in general when they see any rules being broken?
2BNTV, I sympathize with your gym predicament, but I'm afraid the repeated mantra here that "people think the rules don't apply to them" would come into play.
I got a deed complaint once about a lamppost decoration, which doesn't apply to the historic district, anyway. But whoever the nosy Parker neighbor was, it did tick me off.
To be clear, it would take A LOT to get me personally to complain to a business manager about anything. I avoid public confrontation at all costs -- the thought of speaking up makes me cringe. Also, I'm very inward-focused and don't much pay attention to my surroundings. But I can see the point of the people who complained about you and the waitress not following the rules. I don't agree with them, but I think I understand.
