Rudeness

[nana13]

I realize that most of the Snowbirds have returned, just go to Colony Plaza and you can experience first hand, I was in Public's yesterday, and again the rudeness is there, people in the middle of the aisles, who refuse to move their carts, a man was arguing at the Cash Register about his bill My husband went out to get the car as I stood in Line and laughed at the impatience of people, left with a full basket and my husband met me at the front of the store, to pick me up. He was parked at the end of Publc''s and a woman pulls behind him and starts blowing her horn, We were not obstructing traffic, and gave plenty of room for any car to go by. She shot me the finger, gray haired and all. If you cannot be patient, than go back to the North and leave us Southerners alone, I am so sick of your rudeness, impatience and hostility, We are all retired and have all day, to ponder what tomorrow will bring.

Perhaps your gray-haired nemesis was a Southerner?

[tomwed]

She was probably from Spanish Springs. Those northerners are mighty pushy.

[Cedwards38]

Well, at least the Westerners and Easterners are not involved in this discussion.

Sorry, there are no Southerners in Florida. The South ends at the Florida state line ;-)

If the North won the war why all the hostility? Or, maybe the hostility instigated the war.

I think it is rude and unsafe to park in front of any store to wait to pick someone up. What if everyone did this instead of the privileged few?

[graciegirl]

That's pushin' it, Looney.


Howsomever, I was just at Publix and it wasn't very crowded when I came in so I allowed myself to evaluate all of the different kinds of greens for salad until I looked around and saw I had been blocking someone. Ditto, the meat area. I wish I could park my cart somewhere not bothering folks and look for some things that I enjoy taking time to find.


I don't think that is gonna be a easy fix so I will try to remember to look around me and be more considerate. I don't argue over the bill, but I do sigh from time to time. And I NEVER honk. I think our horn is practically a virgin.


I am not a snowbird. I am a hometowner.

[Bonny]

Hmmmm.... I'm from Michigan. Guess that makes me one of those Northerners.
Gray hair does not mean Northerner.
Rudeness, impatience & always in a hurry knows no boundaries.
We have a lot more people here this time of the year so some of these things become more noticeable.
Slow down, take a deep breath and enjoy life. :D

LOL, well you could be mostly right now. But, I'm pretty sure Florida was one of the original states to secede from the union and form the CSA.

[rexxfan]

In the 10 months I've been following TOTV these "rudeness" threads have never accomplished anything useful. It is so pointless. Bonny has the right idea. Moving on.

how can you talk about carts all over when your husband parked in front of the store. yes you were impeding traffic because it is a no parking zone and if you were near the end of publix it was probably in front of a stop sign.....rudeness is in the eyes of the beholder. relax life is too short. chilout

[NotGolfer]

One way to solve this cunudrum is to avoid Colony (particularily Publix) during peak shopping hours. We're in "high season" but despite that, people bring their "bad habits" with them. So take a breath, then another one and just do your very best not to be like them!

beside I have a friend who is a cashier. She told me that when the person that puts the groceries in the bag asks if you need to help to the car they hope you say yes. Not for the tip, just for the chance to go outside and have a friendly conversation. Send the cart and the the person that puts the groceries in the bag to the car and the driver will have even less to do.

[Sandtrap328]

Publix lets you take your shopping cart to your car and will even have someone wheel the cart to your car and load it into the car - with no tip allowed.

Why have your husband drive to the front of the store for you to put groceries in your car?

No, in this instance, you were in the wrong. Sorry.

[goodtimesintv]

Mind boggling how many people think Publix at Colony Plaza is the only place to buy food around here, and that it must be done before 10am. That is when people form the clog there and their worst nasty and stubborn old f*rt traits boil over.

Try a little flexibility in life. Like grocery shopping at a later time of day, or at another of the 15 supermarkets in TV.

I don't go near that place unless it's after 7pm.

[Topspinmo]

I only go to " publics" for emergency items, otherwise I have to get bank loan due to the highest prices round. No wonder the guy at the cash register was complaining " sticker shock and buyers remorse". Any parking lot is "danger will Roberson" as far as rudeness goes, the worse are lazy ????? that won't take the time to take there empty cart to the cart rack and just leave it in parking space. This time of the year I go either at 5am or late at night at wallyworld. At least there I didn't feel I got took as bad!

Interesting that you find someone blocking the aisle a problem, but don't see a problem when your husband blocks traffic in a no parking/stopping/standing zone. I've seen lots of inconsiderate people during the summer months in The Villages. Let's not brand Snowbirds as a problem. After all, they pay amenities 12 months of the year and can only use them 6 months of the year:)

EXACTLY! Should Emergency Services have needed access to the area - do you think the driver would have moved, made their vehicle drive around his car or wait until the groceries were loaded and he drove away?

Wasn't trying to start a fight. I am a year rounder is what I was trying to say. I was a snowbird. Year rounders sometimes appear smug because they are very fortunate to live here all of the time.


I said home towner not home owner.

[RickeyD]

There is a higher percentage of people within the baby boom generation that will be unable to maintain two domiciles. Within the next 10 years the snowbird population will have died off and a greater percentage of Villagers will be full time residents. The seasonal log jam eventually will spill over and become a year round problem for awhile. SR 44 commercial development will increase and hopefully absorb the increased full time population. At that point the War between the States part II should coincide with the 160th anniversary of the Appomattax battle. I saw this in a dream last night so it must be true.

[Chatbrat]

Different kind of rudeness-My wife and I were seated @ a bar in a country club, we finished eating and ordered another round of drinks. We also asked for our final bill. An individual came up and asked when we're leaving, I said when were finished--so don't hover over our seats.--He got ugly after that--looks like we have to stay away during happy hour, what we drink is never on the happy hour menu.

I'll nominate that as the rudest story on the thread so far. I can't imagine anyone pulling that in NYC, unless he had a death wish. After all, you never know who is "carrying".

I think the OP was venting some frustration at the lack of consideration by a group which may or may not be true. As I understand it we are now a serious "Vacation Location" and how many of you have gone on vacation with the attitude you paid for the room, etc. and are entitled? I believe there is a lot of this here. Many don't know how to use the circles when driving and their confusion leads to those who know getting upset. Then we have the natural angry person and the villager's are not all "happy people". A very good illustration of this are the posters to the OP's complaint and are the ones who try use it as an excuse to voice wise cracks, awful humor, and just being rude. Doing this is a fact that the persons are angry and release this anger through attempts at putting someone down. What is ironic is that the person is part of the rude being discussed and my bet is most are year around residents as are we. Net: We should respect the person who was upset and if we disagree be respectful in responding and not demonstrating the same attitude and negative behavior as being challenged. Of course there are "snowbirds" who are angry as there are villager's. I believe it is safe to say that "wise cracks" and poor humor is just another form of anger. :cold:

You may very well be right, in some cases. But then the question becomes WHO decides what is rude, WHO decides what is poor or awful humor, and WHO has the psychic ability to ascribe intent?

OP was not respectful to begin with. She set the tone by saying she was laughing at others in line (secretly or otherwise) and blasting other people who felt inconvenienced, while failing to see the irony in what she herself was doing. I see nothing wrong with pointing that out.

After all, if you're going to dish it out, you ought to be able to take it. And that's a mighty big blanket statement about people using humor and wise cracks being angry. I don't think it's safe to say that at all.

Just felt I should point that out before Tom gets to it:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Not at all surprising, it is what happens with all these pointless threads.

Just a bunch of old people bullsh--ing and busting. Rude ? Not really. Pointless, yep.

But, sometimes pointless threads can be fun and often amusing. Good to chuckle once in awhile. :D :thumbup:

Pointless? Well... unless there was a coyote standing in line at Publix I really don't care...

Has nothing to do with Publix per se, but I see everyone talking about Snowbirds. Does anyone know where it would be possible to find out the number of renters in the area 12/1 - 3/31 as opposed to owners who are true snowbirds during that time? I have nothing against renters, but owners tend to have different attitudes than people who have no vested interest here. I know, I know...I can read the complaints already, so perhaps I'm not stating myself clearly, but I'm pretty sure most will get the gist of what I'm saying.

I think it was Jeff Foxworthy who said " Florida is a Northern state that attached itself to the South"

Didn't you ever rent here before you bought?

I think when you go on vacation it's natural to overdue it and not be yourself. You're on vacation and you think that you won't get hurt and the clock is ticking before you return. You want to squeeze in all the fun stuff, not shopping or safety. Back home you don't drive a golf cart to get around. If you did, you wouldn't wear earplugs. You would know about the guy who didn't hear the truck coming.

I'll bet Disneyworld has many stories about foolish vacation accidents by ordinary people that get caught up in the hoopla..

I'm curious. When you find out the number of renters, what are you planning to do with the information?
