"WTF" moments...
 

On two separate occasions I observed the following here in our happy village:

- a gentleman helped an elderly woman, presumably his mother, into the Charlotte pool with large, visibly open and oozing wounds/sores on her legs...WTF! Not only is this a health risk to others but rather inconsiderate too. I made a quick exit, along with several others, and have not been back since.

- while dinning at Bonifay country club, two middle aged gentlemen decided that it was appropriate to have an elderly man sit at the edge of the booth seat and change the dressings on his leg covering several wounds...WTF! Smack dab in the middle of the dinning room...WTF!!

I don't get it! :mad::mad:

where's my pole?

Gross. People are so thoughtless.

P.S. Does "WTF" mean Want THIS FIXED?:angel:

ewwww

Even though for the most part The Villages is a beautiful community filled with great residents, theres always some inconsiderate moron that makes their way into the mix. These days I find myself saying WTF a lot. Just a fact of life but it still does not make it right.

Gracie the first two woods are what the

Don't let this blonde hair fool ya, Lou. ;)

Read back on some of your posts and you say you are 51. I always defend old people on this forum since this is where old people are expected to live. It is a retirement community and one can expect to find ELDERLY people.


I personally haven't seen any sore laden elderly people at my pool or any of the restaurants I frequent, but I am sure you were grossed out.


I say how about the younger folks who get in the pool with sexually transmitted diseases we can't see; Herpes, Chlamydia. etc.etc. etc......WTF?




Don't mess with old people.

Last spring while traveling by Cart on the 466A multi modal trail, a yellow cart flew by me going at least 30mph. Is this one of those moments? Be careful out there!

You had to remember way back to last Spring to being passed by a fast golf cart on the multi-modal trail? It happens at least once a week to me - and I have my cart set at 19.8 mph (according to my GPS).

I'm pretty sure you can't contract an STD from pool water.

Yup. That is kinda the point.

I have a WTF moment at least once a day in a round about when someone in the left lane decides to make a right hand turn when they shouldn't. I guess when they cause an accident they will learn.

The left hand lane usually has the right of way. Look at the arrow signs as you enter the circle along with the lane striping.

It's the right hand lane that I see making the most mistakes by NOT turning when they should and cutting off the person in the left lane as they try to exit the circle. The right lane yields to the left. If you're crossing dashed lines that are leading out of the circle, you're wrong, the left lane has the right away there. I'm afraid you may be giving others the opportunity to say..WTF...about your driving.

I think these are.....C'MON MAN.......moments....!!

I do too.


I just love your style, AriaGrandparents.


As Aunt Jane used to say, "Don't be crude like oil, if you can be refined like sugar".

LOL BIGTIME Gracie.

That's why I straddle both lanes. Then I don't have to worry about cars in the other lane. WTF!

You can catch Staph.

Teacher Teacher I declare
We have a teachable moment

School is out for winter break at the moment.

Here are the "guidelines." They are usually available in the Savanna Center office area. I don't know about the recreation centers.

my favorite WTF..
 

While entering a round-about they make a LEFT....Yipsters!:22yikes::22yikes:

FYI, there's only one turn in a roundabout that isn't allowed from the left-hand lane, and that's the first right turn after you enter the roundabout.

eye see

Do we see eye to eye, then?:loco:

WTF = Why The Fuss

One of the main reasons to have your own pool, the other is the pools close at dusk, start of the best time to swim.

And yet, another roundabout debate ensues. My money is on donb. :popcorn::popcorn:

I wondered where you got all of your wisdom from! :clap2:

So, only young people have STDs

What the F**k. You can get a mrsa infection from pools when you use a chair a handrail or a towel that has been recently used by a contaminated person.You cannot get STD's from anything but sex with a infected person.The rules say anyone with a communicable disease
cannot use the pool.

Who's the patrol guard?

WOW. People sure have short fuses here. The sick person entering the pool could have been told how risky it was for him to enter that pool. For his own sake he should not enter for fear of what HE could catch. The person in the restaurant should have been told, kindly, that it was embarrassing for the ill man AND the other customers to observe an unhealthy limb and perhaps the bathroom would have been a better/proper place for a dressing change. People sometimes just don't think. They don't mean bad by it, they just don't understand all the implications of what they do. God help us - it surely will be one of use some day!

The eeeewwww factor here is off the charts for me! I'm not going to the pool or any restaurants or anywhere....or at least until this memory fades, which will be about 10am this morning.

I have not seen anyone entering the pool with sores in the seven years now I have lived here. I swim regularly and don't have a home pool.


I have not seen anyone change anyone's dressing in a public place.


I think when it is something so rare......if, well so rare. We need not use it as a way to point out the frailities of people as they age.


We all are aging, will age and then we will stop.


To SOMEONE, to a few, uncaring and insensitive people we are EACH OF US stupid and elderly. We should not treat each other here in that way.


I think that part of the O.P.s reason for posting had to do with the issue of some being Elderly.


THAT is what I think.


THAT ****es me off. We aren't supposed to draw attention to the other's weakness and difficulties if we can help it.

Turn the situation around
 

Sounds logical to me, Suzie but have you ever witnessed a person belong told they were wrong about anything? They become defensive......like you are the one that is wrong and I'm sure if they were told not to change their bandage in the restaurant they would post on here how rude the restaurant personnel was to them and they would never go back. People who do wrong always have a way of turning the situation around to make the other person look bad. As for the person in the pool, all one has to do is to go into the rec center and tell the staff in there of the problem. They will handle it. That way there is no confrontation between residence.

I agree with all of what you said. It is especially difficult to confront someone who is doing something so brainless and have it be effective.
