Welcome to "Florida's Friendliest Hometown". My guess is that slogan dates back to when this was just Harold and his trailer park. You get this many people together anywhere and things are likely to get stupid, as you can probably surmise from some of the comments. We are retired, folks. Why is everyone in such a hurry and so intolerant of others? Our week consists of six Saturdays and a Sunday! What's wrong with giving pedestrians the right of way? How do you expect them to carry on a conversation walking single file? Especially if they are walking with their grandchildren. I've seen threads of people in golf carts complaining about the bicyclists. The bikes should have the right of way over a motorized vehicle. I walk for exercise, and use my golf cart for transportation. When I'm in my golf cart, I slow down for bikes and walkers. Going slower than I'd like for a few seconds isn't going to alter the trajectory of my life. If you're in that big of a hurry, go around through the grass. It's a golf cart. They are designed for that.

Remember
 

IT'S NOT WHAT YOU SAY IT IS THE WAY THAT YOU SAY IT. :ohdear:

Nope, it has some restrictions.

But, but, just like the cov19 was solved yesterday becomes problem tomorrow

Try living on a championship golf course. Male golfers don't seem to care that others can hear them loud and clear. Not a day goes by when I set on my lanai and hear them swearing about bad shots. I am embarrassed for them. Do they use that language at home? People, try to stop using such profane language out in public, it just shows others how crass and low life you are.

Just because you’re a psycho thinking you have the right away Doesn’t mean you have to take it! Slow down ,stop if necessary. Don’t be a bad actor.


doesn’t mean you have to take it

BS, you can’t walk out in front of train

So you would rather be ran over from behind and have chance to get out of the way? I alway pick chance to jump out of the way. But, that’s me.

DianeM.. your replies are a disgrace!!!

I, too, am so disgusted by the people who have become mean Seniors. Whatever happened to the world to create this "I can do and say whatever I want" attitude?

Problems are rarely even solved, because new day starts the problem all over again.

Maybe it's low self-esteem. They must be cursing at themselves. I've never seen a bad shot that wasn't caused by operator error.

It depends on where you come from. I’ve always used the word “swear.” Curse is something else, much worse.

Adults aren’t free to use any language they choose. Try telling a cop that he’s an AH.

See, you’re attitude the problem. You think you can wander all over block path, and put yourself in unsafe conditions and blame someone else. You are also responsible for you’re own safety. There is limitations on MMP, walking trails, and streets. None of them are free for all.

I have to agree with the biker as far as walking on your side so people can pass you. The language no but everywhere I go no matter how large the walking area is it seems I have move over because two people take up the whole area. I was always taught to stay on the right side. Just be considerate so others can pass you with ease.

I agree with you, but:
As we all know by now that its a way of life for just about everyone to be using curse words. Just listen to the Hollywood fakers or late-night so call comedians, you know the one our naive generation is truly following, respect is long gone....

Manners run in both directions. I ride my ride on the paths and often come up behind walkers. Like most bikers I have seen, I simply warn them "coming up on your left". There's no sense in startling anyone let along be a jerk about it - regardless whether they are 'right' or not. There are more important things to worry about.

Well, it brings up the question, should bikes be allowed where people walk?

We lived on a country club golf course for 13 years and when we came down here we told are agent absolutely nothing on a golf course, swearing, urinating, throwing trash on the fairways and tee areas, the noise from mowers and large sprinklers, no privacy on the decks, etc. Never again would I live on a golf course. We bought our home on a nice peaceful pond and really enjoy the quiet and peacefulness.

Perhaps she didn't have a bike seat and felt irritated

"Who is allowed to use the multi-modal paths throughout The Villages?” This is a question that the District receives on a regular basis. The multi-modal paths are for use by NON-AUTOMOTIVE traffic such as bicycles, golf carts, pedestrians, and skaters. It is not legal…nor is it smart…to drive vehicles such as smart cars, motorcycles, or mopeds on any of the multi-modal paths in The Villages. For additional information, please click on the header of this announcement to read a memo from District Counsel regarding the use of multi-modal paths.
Announcement from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles

For additional information on the process of converting a LSV to a golf cart, please click on the header of this announcement or the following website link: Low Speed Vehicles.

As I said earlier, didn’t even know what multimodal was so no. Nice try though.

My days are terrific but thank you.

Not really but I’m sure you have one

Thanks
 

Thanks Gracie. Feel bad about their experience. Staying put at this time is not a bad idea, imo. Sadly, I think they may be visiting for a lot longer than expected. Hope the tp holds out till they can get safely home. Also, be prepared for things to become uglier as stress and frustration grows.
Best wishes to all

Sorry sweetie but it wasn’t me. Nice try though.

My post wasn’t angry just truthful.

I love you. :BigApplause:

Nothing feeble here sweetie.

There is a difference between maturity and adult. This type of reaction is a sign of immaturity, I would expect something like this from a Jr High or High school student. Also, a bell?

Nailed it!

Not in front of kids!
 

I repeat, NOT IN FRONT OF KIDS

if you are an adult, you should know better

Bikes anywhere.
 

What you describe is not unusual.
There are a lot of good people who ride bikes here and they for the most part are easy going nice folks.
BUT There are a number of people with an
I GOT MY RIGHTS ATTITUDES
IF you ask them where they come from more often than not you’ll hear, New York. Before anybody from NY, Long Island or NJ metro areas gets their pantries in a twist just remember folks they cannot help it without a significant emotional event to change their rude, crude and socially unacceptable behaviors.
They are very easy to spot
Actions speak almost as loudly as their words.

Not looking for a replacement mommy but thanks for interviewing.

Low Lifes
 

There are low life's in every walk of life. She apparently was one of them. Be glad she didn't run into you as well as cuss at you. She is one of the low life's. Enjoy your grandchildren - they grow up way too fast.

gmta!!!!!

Yes we New Yorkers are tough and gritty. You need to grow up early to match your counterparts. I can’t help but think how absolutely boring the Midwest must be with all the goodie types. Thanks but I’ll stay grateful for my behaviors.

Well that's a good start. lol
