How you can spot a new person in The Villages.
 

They wear dressy clothes to go out to dinner.


Your turn.

They drive around in a white golf cart with no sumbrella. (and are driving only 13 mph)

They smile and wave at everyone they see (a good thing that we long-timers forget to do).

They don't know how to navigate a roundabout (sorry, Bogie). Oh, whoops, that's not just a newbie!!!!!

Wish that one lasted longer. :wave:

They have a map in there hand.

So tell me Gracie is that a bad thing? I like to dress up when going out for dinner.

NOPE. Not at all....but be prepared to hear...see you're new, hope you love it here!!!

They have that extra sh** eatin grin on their face. :smiley:

they have a Villages real estate person in tow....

Their eyes are as big as saucers as they look around at the beauty that is The Villages.

They ride the bronze horses for a picture.

They walk around in awe and take a picture of everything with their phone

Still rushing around to get everything done that day

They aren't wearing a hat against the sun in the pool

They are asking how did the guy with the pickup truck with the freezer in the back selling meat door to door get thru the gate.

They are asking why do they call that drink at the bar “Sex on the Square”.

They have a tan line from the watch they recently decided they didn't need to wear anymore (? I'm guessing, since I haven't made the move yet)

They are satisfied with a golf cart going 18mph.

They want to know what being a "frog" means.

They still have enough sense not to have their left knee hanging out the side of the golf cart as oncoming carts pass...

They still have enough courtesy to wait for their turn...

They go down to the square every night of the week...

They ask about the difference between an executive course and a championship course.
They go to the squares most every night.
They read the Rec News from cover to cover each week looking for an activity to join.
Furniture trucks make daily deliveries to their home.
They are anxious to share their story of 'how they got to The Villages' with anyone who will listen!
They pray someone else in their foursome steps forward to reserve the tee times, because it's overwhelming the first time you do it.

If it sounds like I speak from experience, well...

They still walk without a limp since they didn't get hurt playing pickle ball yet...and if they do play pickle ball it is with one of the chipped rec center wooden paddles

They still have good haircuts.

I'm kinda new.

I always ask Villagers: "How long have you lived here?" Followed by: "Aren't you tired of it yet?" I know that they're going to say no, but I'm always entertained by HOW they say it. It's a great conversation starter.

Don't tell me you wear sweat pants when you go out.

Yes, but they have sequins on them.

:beer3::a20:

Will you be my friend?

They don't check for cars before crossing the street in the squares.

If it's January or February, they're not wearing a coat and earmuffs; but still wear shorts and sandals

They don't eat dinner at 4 o'clock in the afternoon

They wave at you in there golf cart

Ha ha!!! We will be down for our lifestyle visit starting on the 25th, map in hand, slowly driving our rental golf cart, wearing our cute clothes and waving with a big smile on our face, followed by our real estate agent. See you then!

All of their clothes don't come from Beall's Outlet.

They ask you for directions to the grocery store, only they call it "Pube-lix", and then act insulted because you are bent over laughing.

They're not looking for a landscaper yet.

They don't know they need gutters.

And also..........
 

1. They complain about lizards getting in the garage.

2. They complain about insects in general.

3. They fret about sinkholes and lightning.
