Rules Don't Apply To Me???
 

What in the hell is wrong with people? It's been posted everywhere....do not throw your lawn debris in "various" locations mentioned throughout The Villages. In other words if it's yours, you're stuck with it. Unless you drive a golf cart with an Hoosier plate on the back that tossed his bag of trash at the corner of Barnsdale & Odell in Hadley and thought he'd got away with it. He was looking around to see if anyone was watching. I stopped & hollered at him and said it was BS & to take it home. He did pick it up & placed it on his cart & sped away. I doubt if it made it back to his house but I D A M N sure don't want your debris tossed into a big pile in my hood. And for those that worry about an inconvenience???? Move to Puerto Rico. God help them. :pray:

I didn't do this as I live way up north. But anyone with an Indiana plate on their cart is now subject to criticism and scorn. You could have been a bit more specific in you description of the cart. I guess I will take my Indiana tag off.

There I changed it. R U happy now???

Darn it, I took off my State of Indiana plate and replaced it with my Indiana Hoosier plate. Now I have to change this one too. Is Notre Dame safe?

Hmmm, funny U put this post up. I have a Video of the lawn maintenance people that mowed the neighbors yard did the same thing in my Cul-De-Sac. They picked-up & moved ALL the neighbors yard debris from there yard & put it in front of my house. I have called Property Management on this issue. I know it might not be soon for them to come out, But I can Wait with Video in hand......

You should call the Lawn Maintenance people who did it and say that if they didn't move it back you were gonna call the sheriff. Property Management isn't to blame.

AND F16 Your post made my blood boil. The world is going to Hell in a handbasket.

I have turned the Lawn Maintenance people into Property Management before. They said, IF it happens again, call them first & they (Property Management) will call the sheriff & have it take'in care of....... I will just Sit & wait with my Video in hand.

p.s. There's other issue's with this too....

Gr8 post and good job F16! So I being nosey, did you fly F16s in the USAF??? I had the pleasure to watch General Dynamics demo the F16 in Zaragoza Spain back in the mid-70s -- made our F4s look sick!!!

I do not know who to get more upset with the Hoosier or The Villages? Their choice in signing on with a FEMA approved company is causing the sort of thing you see with the mysterious Hoosier Impatience) but more importantly its not doing residents property any good just lingering there and it is a bad look fort The Villages.

Another problem with this delay is that being added to the debris from the storm is now daily/weekly lawn maintenance clippings. We trim some bushes and cut a few dead fronds and now instead of being removed on Wednesday will sit there until Crowder shows up.
It would be a pleasant surprise to see Waste management here on Wednesday ( I hoping Dist.gov reads TOTV):D

I had been involved in a number of cat related insurance claims over the years and experience taught that the best way to handle them was get in quick and get out quick for everyone's sake

Personal Best Regards:

My husband just came in roaring mad:a20:. He says people have dumped so much yard waste at our postal area there is almost no where to park ................... It is more annoying because our yard waste was picked up last week, so who is dumping?

Hmmm, I really hope someone seen it & had their cell phone to take some pic's.... I would turn them in...

No body from Iowa would have done that.

Be care you don't get a folding chair throw at you.

I agree that this delay is compounding the problem. After Irma I had one yard waste bag and a few palm fronds. Now I have begun fall clean up and replanting. I now have 4 more bags.

You are a lot smarter than I thought you were and up until now I had you up with there with Einstein.

Which lawn maintenance company moved all the neighbor's yard debris in front of your house? Why would they do such a thing? Is this a lawn crew hired by an individual home owner?

I was under the impression Crowder-Gulf is no longer doing clean up in The Villages. I'm confused by this statement but.....it doesn't take much to confuse me. LOL.

Yes it is, & I know what the Deal is with my neighbor want'in His Debris moved into my side of the road. That's all I'm say'in for now............:lipsrsealed:

:jester:

I assumed someone would spank me.


:jester:

I went to a meeting today at Seabreeze and on the right side of the parking lot I saw about 60 lawn bags full of debris and a lot of limbs and fronds piled on top of the bags.

It seems like it would be too simple to let people that can, to be able to take their lawn and tree debris (and probably the debris of their neighbors that can't) to a single drop-off point in THEIR village where the company (whomever takes the place of Crowder Gulf) can expedite the removal of this stuff. It would get it off the streets, driveways and lawns and it just might take a little tension off people.

You were hoping! :jester::pray:

In the letters to the editor of the online paper they explain where Sumter residences can dump landscape debris for free at an area intended for Irma cleanup. If you can get it in a truck it's just a little farther drive.

Oohhmmm. Ooohhmmmm. Recommended watching would be Gumpy Old Men. I wonder if a diagnosis of cancer would upset some of you as much as yard debris. Ggggeeeeezzzzz

Oh.....Sorry for you for having such a rude neighbor. I get it that there is more to the story but I would be an unhappy camper with that situation.

The CDD advisories seem to feel it would not be safe for the residents to drop off their yard debris in a central location. I agree with you that it would make the job so much easier for the haulers to be able to pick up much of the debris in a central location but I'm no expert in this so there is that.

The letter says that no bags of any kind are accepted. All my debris is in bags and we don't have a truck. I guess we will just wait it out with 11 bags on our driveway. That is not all debris from Irma either. I have since done yard work on our property and have added to the storm debris.

Leave it on concrete. Bags or loose debris on the grass will kill it.

The first letter said they were able to empty their bags into the pit. The second said they were able to leave the bags after assuring the county workers that there was nothing other than garden debris in the bags. I believe they intend to burn debris that is left there and bury it, just like what will happen with the bags picked up by FEMA, so they don't want anything in there that will taint the ground waters.

Must have been one of the drive by people. My landscaper came and took it away.

Reading this thread I have to believe this group would not fair well in Puerto Rico. But to the OP's original question the Villages is like any other city it's size, many of it's rules or laws are for someone else, it just a matter of magnitude. Take one of the TOTV favorites, golf cart speed. To some it is a rule that is part of living in a golf cart community and their carts go 20 mph. To some a couple mph over is ok. To others 25 mph is ok, and to some 30mph is ok. Everyone has there own belief and application of rules or laws. I think it is in our DNA.

If you need a response from the villages put a bunch of white crosses in your debris pile and the trolls will have the villages there in no time flat.

Yuppers coffeebean, just wait'in for the phone to Ring!!! UNHappy camper is put'in it lightly. It's more like this>>>> :rant-rave:
