Reluctant to post this and didn't know exactly where to post it so please excuse the post and probably the location.

While my wife was looking around in Coldwater Creek tonight, I got into my car and circled the block a few times waiting for her. I was in a convertible so I had a wide open view of what was going on around me.

As I drove south on the short street adjacent to the Villages bus stop, between Cody's and TGI Fridays, I looked to my right and saw a Villager exposing himself and urinating in the parking lot across from the bus depot. It was about 7:30PM and it was still very bright outside. He was doing this next to his golf cart while smoking a cigarette. I stopped my car and yelled at him to no avail. He continued on for a couple of minutes and then merely zipped up and drove off.

He either didn't here me yelling, or didn't care. He appeared to be drunk to say the least.

Having not been to the square in a while, I sure hope this behavior is rare but it's not something that hasn't been mentioned on this site before.

Again, sorry for the post, but this jerk and his illegal behavior got to me. Sorry I didn't have my cell phone with me or I would have called the police.

I believe it's safe to say that this type of behavior is rare. Some "drunks" will behave badly---others are quite and just sleep it off. Sorry you saw the worst kind. I have noticed an increase of heavy drinkers in TV lately especially in and around Sumter Landing. The outside patio bars really encourage heavy drinking----some just dont know when enough is enough. I also have noticed a number of people just drinking and never eating anything. It's a disaster just waiting to happen.

Yep, and some poor little malti-poo probably got blamed.

Every town has its ignoramuses. And they are an embarrassment.

Its a shame you couldn't have taken his picture, tastefully, as to not to show all of the um...particulars, and posted it on here.

Drinking is sometimes self medication for sadness and sometimes overdrinking is a bad habit and really over drinking gets to be an addiction.

I have tilted a few glasses in my day and thought I was REALLY intelligent and Very good looking.

But as far as I remember I never peed in public.

Evidently he thought that no p applied only to Lake Sumter itself.

With all the camera phones these days, I surprised we haven't seen a video of the incident here yet. That would be a wake-up call for him!

"Exposing himself", really??? Was he circumcised or not??? Did he get naked??
How much could you really see?
Peeing in the parking lot is certainly unpleasant, but a major crime???
Is it really any worse than spitting, smoking, or chewing with your mouth open?
If this is all we have to worry about, we should be counting our blessings.

Yep, and I could sing and dance a lot better

Maybe he didn't like all the smoke entering the public restroom.

Lesson Learned: always carry your cell phone. Take a picture or video, call the police, then show it to them. The guy should have been arrested.
