A woman in a car was giving a young man hell because he would not let her through, she sat there yelling and screaming at him for some time and then finally took off and drove through to wherever she was headed.

I have lived here long enough to know that people are rude and I should be used to it, but I never get used to the ignorance often shown here in TV.

What is it within us that allows us to feel we can speak to people in this way, I will never understand it.:ohdear:
I experienced an odd instance when I came to TV for a lifestyle visit. I was driving my golf cart according to the GPS info from The Villages app when a woman in another golf cart was crazily waving and screaming at me in a rude and hostile manner. Maybe she thought I was going to get on the turnpike or perhaps another busy road with no golf cart lane but she was gesticulating frantically. However, not with the furrowed brow of concern but with an angry face. I think she may have even flipped me off at the end!

By the way, that app isn't always correct, nor is Google maps so you have to just learn by experience and mistakes sometimes. I had discovered my error and was ready to turn around even before she started her little performance.

Or, maybe rudeness is a condition of where one was raised. I was raised in a big, northeast city, not NYC though. When we first came to Florida in 1979, most of the people on the west side of the state were from the middle of the country. My wife and I were so taken aback, by how nice people were, we thought we had left the states for another country.
The people who apologized were probably Canadian...

They apologize for EVERYTHING! :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

(And I love them for it!)

Yeah! New England wouldn't have them... :icon_wink:

I can’t get over the slightly nosy people who jump to conclusions.

Yea it was someone from the Tri-State area. What are you gonna do about it? Try living there and not be the way we can be sometimes. You would have never survived to get to The Villages. We all can't be from Walnut Grove.

Shake it off. Keep moving. Lifes too short to fuss.

Maybe the lady needed to get to a bathroom. Maybe the man was saving her from getting hit by a steamroller. Construction people can be rough. Maybe he just got ripped by another Villager, who knows.

If it was that important maybe you should have gone to help. Good point but you'll NEVER acknowledge it, EVER.

It’s just a little satisfying to know she’s probably got big problems with the tar on her tires and automobile, not fun to get off of various surfaces. So, there’s that.😜

I've been here 12+ years and have only witnessed that type of behavior once or maybe twice. My experience is 95% of the people here are very nice, kind and generous .

Thats just the typical ignorant people who feel the world should kiss their feet. Most have few friends since no one wants to tolerate the entitled crap attitude. The day will come when they will scream at the wrong person and find themselves spitting teeth. I sure hope Im there to witness it too.

Sometimes the educated, sophisticated, and intelligent New Englanders lose patience with the Village idiots here and we come across as being rude.
I am fighting the urge.
But, I’m wondering …..
Do they teach 5th grade Geography where you come from?

NEW YORK is not a NEW ENGLAND state!!!

You are correct, full of rude people that feel more privileged and above others.
It's best to ignore and laugh.
