I once saw a car on Morse parked with only his turn signal on letting his dog poop on the grass along the road. I don't know if anyone ran into the car or not but definitely not safe and was a brainless act.

I wonder what his defense would be if he had to go to court for that? "You know, judge, I'm special and so is my dog. Laws don't apply to us."!

Doesn't it say that in small print on the signs at our borders---"Welcome to The Villages, America's Friendliest Home Town"???

"Friendliest Home Town", yes. "Most Special and Entitled and Spoiled residents", I don’t believe so. I'll have to check it out next time I return from a foray outside of the bubble.

You're right! Just who do those people think they are? UPS! 🤬🤬🤬
Sometimes I wish I drove a steamroller! Without a license plate, of course. Wouldn't want to get caught flattering cars. Without a plate cops would never figure it out! 😆🤓🙃🤓 Just act normal.

I give him ZERO on the list of excuses. More than likely he was sharing a cart with his buddy who was already at the starter shack and he was too lazy to carry his clubs over from the parking lot.
So really who's the entitled one here. What is our world coming to when people don't have the patience to wait for a confused old man.

If you see this situation as a reflection of patience, then you missed the whole point. He created a very dangerous hazard to oncoming traffic. Try telling the family of the injured or deceased aged driver who crashed into his car (which was parked in a traffic lane with no warning signs) that their family member should have been more patient.

Why do people have to back into a space at Church? Waiting for some of these people to pull back and forth, back and forth is not entertaining at the very least. They usually leave before the mass has ended so they can be the first ones out. Why? They are all retired.

You're joking? Right?

Didn't see "old" in the OP. Didn't see "confused" either.

There's a difference between being patient for a "confused old man" and a lazy entitled idiot.

It’s the Karens that usually point. From my humble experience.

I'll answer that for everyone:

Because it's stupid, dangerous and illegal.

Probably a snowbird that did not get out in time with the rest of the flock

Not sure rare is the correct word but very few make a larger reflection on the whole.
