In the 5 weeks I've been here, I have travelled a lot in my cart and I wave at EVERYONE I meet. With the exception of 1 PERSON, no one waves back. My wife has even noticed this. Am I just meeting a lot of people too good to wave back or are there a lot of unhappy people?

Continue to wave. If they don't wave back, at least you'll get them thinking....they'll be trying to figure out just who the heck you are.....;)

Maybe it's the moon. Or the heat. We always wave, too, and usually people respond, but I must admit we've had a few duds recently. Keep trying!

I agree. Keep up the waving. I do it to cars going past my house as well - whether I think I know them or not.

Happens sometimes to me too. Then I think they must come from a big city and are not yet used to The Villages. Once, someone else saw no response to my wave and went out of their way to stop and say hello! Wonderful!

There are more of us friendly ones than not but things get going with one and then it catches on.

When we first moved in (7 yrs ago)) everyone waved to each other. Then as the population grew it stopped because you pass so many golf carts daily all you would do is be waving. Keep waving some will return the friendly gesture

I pass so many carts daily it's impossible for me to look at the person passing, make eye contact and wave. It's far more important to pay attention to the road and traffic. For me it has nothing to do with being friendly and everything to do with vigilance. Too many people are distracted in carts and don't realize how many distracted people have died in cart accidents.

I experience friendliness every time I pull off the golf cart path to do something (cell phone call) and I'm repeatedly asked if I need help; I'm grateful for their kindness in asking and it's one of the many things that make me happy to be living in TV.

We wave and we always stop to see if someone needs help or directions. When we came here for a couple of weeks, we couldn't believe the people were so nice to stop and help us with directions. We said that if we ever moved here, we'd stop for everyone ~ and we do! There are some cranky, unhappy people here but I try to ignore them or pity them!

Nothing more discouraging than throw out a big howdy duty wave and get no return or acknowledgements of your friendly jester.

With that said sometimes there are reasons you don't get the acknowledgment?


I usually wave, but sometimes I am not paying attention to passerby's. I'm also hearing impaired, so some times it's more important for me to keep my mine on my surroundings.
With only one ear (includes the ear/ balance components) I can not tell were sound come from or the direction. So some times that overrides wave.

Sometimes it is kind of hard to wave at other carts from your own cart but we always wave at those walking for exercise. Always get a wave back, too.

Last summer, my wife (Mrs. Trap) saw a lady walking during the day and she looked all worn out. My wife stopped the cart, asked the lady if she needed help and the lady was very grateful for a ride back to her house. Mrs. Trap stayed with her for a while to ensure the lady was not in need of medical help. See, I married a good one!

As far as grumps - really have not seen hardly any. We talk to strangers at the squares and have good conversations. All seem very friendly. The few that I have met in person from TOTV are all great folks.

Sometimes I don't see the wave in time to respond because it is given at the last second. I feel bad about not responding when that happens but by the time I see it I'm already past.

It isn't that difficult to wave. Raising some of your fingers off the steering wheel works. A full in the air waVe isn't necessary. Eye contact isn't necessary. A smile works, too.

WhoDat
06-28-2015, 04:57 PM
I can't help how people respond but I will keep on waving. I come from a big city but it is in the south so everyone waves there too. Almost everyone anyway. I think many who don't wave are distracted or didn't see you wave. :pepper2:

graciegirl
06-28-2015, 06:08 PM
Please don't think Villagers are not friendly because they don't wave. After awhile, we get used to all the beauty and all the nice folks and just concentrate on where we're going, thinking of what we are about to do.


No harm meant, I am sure. I hope I never stop SEEING how pretty it is where my golf cart takes me. I concentrate more on staying on my side of the road and not following too close and prepare myself for some very interesting and sometimes dangerous behavior on the part of other golf cart drivers.

When she got home she thanked me for driving there and putting her sides down on the golf cart so she would not get wet. I said it wasn't me. So I would like to thank the person for such a nice jester. Thank You

It's almost universal here. I've seen restaurant staff do it, golf shop staff do it....and now I do it. Just enclosed 3 carts last week in Bonifay during a pouring rain. I have no idea who they belonged to, but at least they were dry when they left.

From St. James to the courses north/south and the squares north/south. I will raise a finger, do a full wave and also wave like the motorcyclists do - nothing. Oh well, I'll keep trying. Probably shouldn't bother me so I won't let it.

So ... you let yourself get soaked in order to put down the curtains on various golf carts you happen to see? With all the good will in the world, it would never occur to me to touch someone else's property.

If I were a child now I'd probably be diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum, but my family generally just explained me away as "she's not social." I don't drive a cart but would likely not notice people waving and if I did, would not wave back. So yeah. I would not consider myself "friendly," if that's the criteria. Am I happy? Yes.

I wouldn't judge the friendliness of a person on whether they wave or not. Some people are in their own world thinking about things or enjoying the landscape or even just watching the cart path. There have been a lot of accidents and some people get nervous when carts are getting close to them.
I love people. I can't wave at every cart that passes by. I may smile or nod and sometimes I'm talking to the person riding with me.
Sometimes when someone waves & I realize it, they have already passed me.
Not everyone is a waver, but it doesn't mean they aren't friendly & nice people.

I don't always wave and I'm perfectly happy living here. :thumbup:

Sometimes I don't spot a wave until it's too late to respond. Other times I'm talking to my husband, other times, I'm thinking about a work project or I'm distracted by something going on in my life like my son who has deployed--again--to Afghanistan, or I'm thinking about my grandchildren. Other times, I'm the driver and I'm busy paying attention to the "road" and what the driver ahead of me is doing. Every now and again, I catch the wave on time and respond in kind. But not always. That said, I'm still a pretty friendly, nice person. If you didn't judge me based on whether or not I waved back at you while in my golf cart, you and your wife would probably like me. :D

They don't wave because there are too many golf carts passing each other. If you go to a motorcycle event such as Leesburg bike week, or Daytona bike week, you will rarely see bikers wave to each other because there are just too many bikes, that if they did wave, they would be doing nothing else. The same bikers will wave any other time.

You know, I was at Bonifay last week and when it began to rain, I started to put the enclosure down on a cart next to mine (notice the key word is "started") when the owner came out running of the golf shop and screaming "what the "f" are you doing"? I told him I was just trying to keep his stuff from getting wet. With that, he screamed "don't ever touch my f'ing cart again". I stayed calm and professional throughout the cussing I got, though I do wish he had crossed the line and tried to put hands on me. As I was leaving, I noticed he had a New Jersey license plate on the back of his cart. Next time when it starts to rain, you can be assured I won't touch another cart. I'm beginning to think the phrase "Florida's Friendliest Hometown" is a misnomer.

Again, I don't think that has anything to do with being a nice friendly person. Not everyone wants their stuff touched by someone they don't know. They may have personal things in their cart. Some people keep some money in their cart. I don't think anyone would think of going into someone's car. Golf cart is the same thing. I wouldn't want anyone to be putting the sides down on my golf cart.
Why would you have wanted him to put his hands on you and what difference does it make if his plate said New Jersey ?

Well, unless he keeps valuables and/or money rolled up in his enclosure, he didn't have any concern, because that's where my hands were. I can assure you, I will not be "Mr. Friendly and Courteous" again to anyone when it starts to pour rain. I dealt with enough a**holes and scum in my 25 year career as a LEO; why in the hell would I think it would be different here? Huh? I do not like to fight, didn't like it in my career, but he was way out of control with his screaming and profanities and maybe a gentle thump would have knocked some sense in him. The New Jersey reference, I was hoping he would be on TOTV and would read this to realize what an a** he was.

I'm reminded of the old days when, if I saw a car in a parking lot with its lights on, I would very likely open the door and turn them off. That's when headlights were fairly predictably controlled by a push knob on the dashboard -- today, who knows! Those were also the days, at least where I grew up, when cars were left unlocked.

I'm beginning to think the phrase "Florida's Friendliest Hometown" is a misnomer.

By the same token you could say that the cashiers at "Subway" or "Dollar Tree" are really friendly because they say "Welcome to..." whenever you walk in.
It's as impersonal and empty as your 4,000th "friend" on Facebook.

To say people have lost their joy is not the case. We have been here 15 years and have many wonderful friends. We say hi and talk to everyone we meet. We love meeting people !! We just met 2 couples tonight at City Fire. They were awesome !!
Trust me, if I don't wave to you that certainly doesn't mean I have lost the joy of living here !! I would never live any where else. When you are riding in a golf cart, it's almost impossible to wave to every cart that passes you. You need to watch the road and the carts around you.
Sometimes you're talking to whoever is in the cart with you and sometimes you are just thinking of things going on in your life.
Just know that most people here are some of the friendliest people you will ever meet ! :thumbup:

kcrazorbackfan: When I was assigned to Iowa I had an employee who came to my office with his bare head as red as a tomato and visibly shaken complaining that some guy from New York was rude, nasty mean......I laughed and said he's just playing with you that's what they do . So when you call him back act the same way and by the end of the conversation you will be best friends. He did and he told me it worked

As to your situation whoever the guy is one thing he is not and that's insightful. I also don't much care for swearing but some folks just don't have sufficient verbs, adverbs, adjectives in their portfolio their limited what can you say??

I know something of downstate New York/New Jersey and most of those folks would give you the shirt off their backs, some are a bit gruff, very animated, excitable, passionate, speak directly but its a very large metropolitan area.

It was a nice gesture. You can protect my cart from rain anytime I am not around and I might just buy you a brewski for your trouble

It does seem a bit invasive of one's personal property to be putting down an enclosure without the owner's permission. I would not like it, although I would understand the gesture as good intent. The New Jersey guy was way out of line IMHO. He should have just said please don't do that. I rarely put my enclosure down if my cart is sitting in the rain. I carry a towel to wipe down the seat before I drive off.

kcrazorbackfan: When I was assigned to Iowa I had an employee who came to my office with his bare head as red as a tomato and visibly shaken complaining that some guy from New York was rude, nasty mean......I laughed and said he's just playing with you that's what they do . So when you call him back act the same way and by the end of the conversation you will be best friends. He did and he told me it worked

As to your situation whoever the guy is one thing he is not and that's insightful. I also don't much care for swearing but some folks just don't have sufficient verbs, adverbs, adjectives in their portfolio their limited what can you say??

I know something of downstate New York/New Jersey and most of those folks would give you the shirt off their backs, some are a bit gruff, very animated, excitable, passionate, speak directly but its a very large metropolitan area.

It was a nice gesture. You can protect my cart from rain anytime I am not around and I might just buy you a brewski for your trouble



Sage advice as usual.

I think both folks in the interchange got toooo hot toooo fast.

But just because I had been schooled as a child not to touch or bother anyone else's possessions, I wouldn't have put down another carts rainsides.

I think KCRazorback was reacting as a police officer rather than a private individual. I sometimes act annoyingly like the teacher of young children that I used to be.

Waving is a small town ritual I've noticed. When my wife moved from Iowa to Chicago she waved at everyone walking in Chicago nobody waived back. It's no different here people from big cities don't. Don't take it personal.

Hi hulahips: I have been here 9 years this summer and as i recall some golf carts equipped themselves with mechanical hands that waved continually:wave:...and I suspect for the reason you cite above

I remember the guy that put the finger gesture out the window when someone honked. His sticker said honk if you love Jesus.

Everyone has a bad day now and then.
