Kiss My Ash Tray
 
This is a post to send a message to types of people (not individuals and not by name) who annoy you in The Villages.

I'm annoyed by people who insist on driving in the left lane at a low speed, no matter how much traffic is backed up behind you.

Anyone else want to send a message? :a040:

How about the idiots with golf carts that go 30+ MPH who tailgate my 19.5 MPH (legal limit) cart nearly every day on my one mile trip to the postal station on Morse Blvd. north of 466?

Bravo...and they rock their carts back and forth...gas on...gas off...I have a bumper sticker that say's "sorry for driving so close in front of you" and I have had some pass me and flip me off or shake their heads like I have insulted them because of the sticker...what the heck...LOL

Golf cart drivers with their leg hanging out of their golf cart especially when I am on the golf cart path and going the other way. Almost always older men too as I have rarely seen women doing this.

People smoking cigarettes in public places where others have to smell their smoke. And smokers that flip their butts out of their cars/golf carts.

Folks who sit by an open parking space waiting for a car to back out of one that is two spaces closer to Publix entrance.

Madelaine Amee 01-23-2019 10:12 AM

Can I have two????

People shopping (in my case in Publix) who leave their carts in the middle of the aisle to look for their item .......... grrrrr.

People who need to tell the cashier their life story .... just pay for your stuff and get out of there .....

Chi-Town 01-23-2019 10:18 AM

People backing out of spots without looking.

Street legal golf carts can go on roads with a 35 mph limit. But, if speed limit was changed to 36 mph, they couldn't. This is hubby's biggest complaint and it applies to Morse and Buena Vista. The legal golf carts slow traffic down too much.

Drivers must think, I'm turning left into Colony in 4 miles, so I better be in the left lane, or I'm turning left onto Powell Rd in 3 miles so I need to be in the left lane. No you don't, a lane change can be accomplished further down the road, it's part of driving and navigating a car.

PS - I'm annoyed at people who insist on smoking on the perimeter of the squares, especially LSL. I was a chain smoker for 35 years but quit 12 years ago. So, I'm not crazy about smokers, especially ones at our age, and I never thought I would be able to quit. I can highly recommend the drug Chantax, as shown on TV by actor Ray Liotta, it really works. I quit in 5 days after smoking over 2 packs a day from 1971 to 2006. It doesn't contain nicotine like gum and patches, it works on the sensors in the brain that crave nicotine. So if you want to quit, this product has been proven to work better than any other. You'll need a prescription from your doctor.

:ohdear: I don't think they insisted on smoking there. They are told to smoke there by the rules. They are only following the rules like everyone should. If we don't like it and I don't, the rules need to be changed. I started smoking a few years before you and quit about the same time as you. (good for us) Better late than never.

:shocked: Won't be long and we'll be reading about recreational use of "Grass" on the Squares and people driving thru the flower beds in the roundabouts. :icon_wink: That will help City Fire's P.R.

People who write a check at the grocery store, especially in the express line. The express line shouldn't even accept checks.

To smokers, it means this is where you stand to smoke. Get rid of the ash trays so there is no confusion, or put them across the street, and have those guys in the blue shirts do more than walk around.

Actually I think the announcement says "Smoking is only allowed on the perimeter of the square" :oops:

Yep, especially now. I'm annoyed by the folks who don't obey the rules and understand you CANNOT "walk on" before 5pm on the Executive courses - had a 4:29 tee time yesterday and after 3 holes got massively backed up from all the people who just "jumped on" around 4:40pm two-three holes ahead. It was "no one's here" and then suddenly 8 carts were backed up at hole #4. Rules are there for a purpose, folks - not all of us can play at 8am!

New Englander 01-23-2019 10:55 AM

People who don't use trash cans. Litterbugs! :rant-rave:

Vladimir 01-23-2019 11:06 AM

Disappointed that TV gave approval to a home owner on Amherst Rd/Gilchrist to build a massive second story addition which sticks out conspicuously and does not fit in with the surrounding homes. Also disappointed that approval given for some garish exterior colors being used to repaint homes

JP 01-23-2019 11:30 AM

People that don't put their shopping carts in the cart corals but instead leave them in parking spaces or pushed halfway into the landscaping

Tom C 01-23-2019 12:04 PM

People who are so engrossed by a cell phone (or call on one) that they are not paying attention to the REAL WORLD happening around them (this could apply to driving, pushing a cart in the grocery store, or anywhere they effectively impose on others safety or other people trying to simply get by them because they are parked in the middle of the aisle or corridor).

I am just asking that they step out of the way and let others pass allowing others to go about their business.

Spot on. I get annoyed by people who stand in a smoking area next to an ashtray and bitch about breathing the smoke. (another former smoker here, but not the annoying kind.)

Ask hubby if it is any worse than 1 or 50 bicycles crawling at 15mph on those roads? No. How fast is YOUR HUBBY’s car going on these 35mph roads? 45 or 50 as most cars do on those roads? That’s why there is a left lane to signal than carefully pass these slow moving vehicles. 35mph is the speed L I M I T not speed “minimum.” You can’t get a ticket for going 25 or 30 but you can for going 40. LIMIT=legal maximum. How much slower will you get somewhere at 25 (for 2 minutes until you pass) vs 35?

Yes, as you probably guessed I am “street legal.” I am rarely on the streets but it does come in handy at times.

VApeople 01-23-2019 12:43 PM

All in all, I irritate other people much more than they irritate me. I don't expect other people to be rational and considerate, so I can deal with pretty much anything they do.

I remember Donald Regan saying, "I don't get headaches. I give them." I liked that.

EdFNJ 01-23-2019 01:27 PM

Speaking of "STREET LEGAL" this is "MAILBOX LEGAL."
(note: there was a logical reason for this but I wasn't aware of it for a while)

I’m annoyed at people that hate The Villages, if you don’t like it move to someplace you like. I played Maghong with a woman the other day. The first thing out of her mouth was”I hate it here” ok pack your bags

In many of the CDDs, any change to the original color of the house MUST be approved by ARC, and ONLY paints in the approved color palate can be used, so if you see a house painted otherwise, you have the option to CALL ARC and report it anonymously.

In a city of 100K+ there will be many that offend. It may be they are simply unaware their activity bothers others, it may have to do with simply being unaware (i.e. old age problems), it may be that’s how they were raised and truly find nothing wrong with their activity, or they are well aware they are offending others and just don’t give a s..t.

In a community, the size of TV, compromise is required.

My Post 01-23-2019 02:14 PM

The only thing I ever find annoying is when people want to be in a conversation but don't know anything that is currently going on. Divest yourself of news and current events all you want, I might even envy that, but then stay out of discussions. It's slightly irritating when people are trying to talk and one person is like "Wait...who is Jeff Bezos. Wait...who is Nancy Pelosi. Wait, what is Game of Thrones. What is Amazon. Wait, What is gluten free. Wait, what is a government shutdown. Who is Al Capone." etc. It sounds like someone playing Jeopardy.

I mean I feel like people should know *some things* going on. Sometimes I wonder, how did you get through life to this point? Not knowing anything? Than why change and want to all of a sudden catch up now.

Two Bills 01-23-2019 02:17 PM

What bugs me, is I can't go back and do it all again!

CWGUY 01-23-2019 02:29 PM

We all make mistakes.... but with some I need an interpreter! :rolleyes:

Oh, I thought you were talking about smokers who sit on the patios and pollute the outdoor space for the rest of us..or those who stand outside the door of businesses and choke us as we walk into the business or maybe those trashy folks who throw out their butts along the road and on the golf course.

dewilson58 01-23-2019 04:00 PM

People who walk with traffic.


People who walk at night in black clothes.


(i'm a walker & a runner)

dewilson58 01-23-2019 04:02 PM

Cig Butt throwers on the golf course.


None rakers.

dewilson58 01-23-2019 04:03 PM

People who make Cheeseburgers with only one pickle.

dewilson58 01-23-2019 04:04 PM

People who make multiple posts on ToTV in a row.
