Cannot make much sense of this?

If it was really bothering me, I would have just pulled over for a minute & let him get further up. Life is too short. If this is something we have to complain about, what a wonderful world !!!
I have to pick & choose what things are going to raise my blood pressure. This would definitely not be one of them.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day !

I have to be honest, this series of posts gave me a chuckle. I simply cannot believe that given a half a chance, some people will complain about anything and everything. Having your blood pressure come up to a boil over a bubble machine and God Forbid, being hit in the face with a bubble or have a bubble burst on your windshield??? Really???

I have seen the golf cart zooming around the Villages with a trail of bubbles behind and cannot help but smile when I see them. If they caused so much pain and agony for the OP, then why couldn't he just slow down and put some distance between the bubble maker instead of following him closer than a NASCAR driver and getting more upset by the minute. Wanting to pull into Lake Miona Rec Center and engage in a screaming match -- Come On, Chill Out!!

If something as insignificant as a bubble machine gets people so upset, they need to sit in their lanai's with a glass of wine or whatever calms them down and reflect. We all have been blessed to make the decisions we have made that enabled us to retire and have the financial means to be able to come to The Villages and enjoy the wonderful life that we have and not let these silly things get us so riled up.

In closing -- Where do I get one of those Bubble Machines

I have not seen a golf cart with a bubble machine and not really interested in having one myself. I think they can be found at the costume/party stores that are located near 441. I have seen a fog machine there and would love to put one on our cart, but they require too much power for our little 75 watt inverter to supply.

You can get a bubble machine here:

Bubbletron Bubble Machine.

This one blows the bubbles up and away. Should be included in the standard "Villages" golf cart equipment.

I hope no one from outside our bubble reads this thread.

I hope no one outside our bubble reads this or we may have to change our slogan. Of all the things to comp,win about, bubbles do not seem to make my list...in fact I don't have a list. Chill out.

Sorry you had to deal with this situation, but thank you for reminding us that this little "cute" device impacts others, and not necessarily in a good way.

Funny,I do not think a "soapy orb" are going to either hit the face or "splatter the windshield will do to much damage.What did you ever do when the car in front of you was burning oil.I am sure this has happened to you over the years.

Ah, it might not do damage on it's own, but think about getting bubbles in your eye or eyes.....then what....stings like he**, and now your vision isn't so good for a bit. Also, if by chance, you get a bunch of those bubbles bursting on your windshield....remember to wet the windshield before wiping off the soapy residue.

I don't dislike bubble machines, I think they're great!!! However, if I had one in my cart, I'd pull over if I had people behind me, at least I'd try to.. just because.

Personally, I haven't seen carts spewing bubbles....must be a sight that makes one smile....I know I would...

Now I see why TV is called Disneyland for adults!

I put the bubble machine in the same category as car's with gut pipes or motorcycles breaking the sound barrier. It all about look at me, look at me.

I've never seen one of these and don't have a nickel in my pocket. But, thanks to the original poster and the above info, this supplier is now out of stock. Guess we will start seeing a lot more of these in TV. Talk about unintended consequences... LOL

Teenage males with their bodies full of testosterone love loud pipes on cars and motorcycles and the thrill of fast driving and riding. Babies and preschool children love making soap bubbles. Perhaps these drivers are well into their second childhood.
