Even if they didn't accept checks, those very same customers would load up their "just a few over, sorry!" 20-item cart, chit-chat about anything, distract the cashier, complain about the prices, present a bunch of coupons - most of which are either expired or for things the customer didn't buy, and then - try to pay by check.

But this isn't specific to the Villages, it happens every Tuesday here in New England supermarkets. Tuesday is Senior Discount day.

This is a major problem here, it is frightening for the driver coming up on one of these walkers in Dark clothing with no flashers. I am very surprised there are not more accidents.

Me too dewilson58

:rolleyes: When I'm in the 10 items or less lane and someone in front of me has more than 10 items I've been known to ask "Just which 10 of those items do you plan on buying?" :evil6:

Omg! That just happened to me today, the shopping cart in middle of aisle and I was thinking I’m going to post this on TOTV. Many times it is an oblivious guy who probably never had to do the shopping in the past.

We were just behind one earlier today on Morse. It was street legal but traveling at 25 mph. It was holding up quit a line of traffic.

Those in La-La land when a left green arrow (which are often short)...just sit there when the light changes.

When I get to '1,003'...I lay on the horn.

As long as there's no chance that it might hurt someone, I accidentally...ram those carts.



:D

And the few times I have to go to Publix, Winn Dixie or Walgreens, I always seem to get in that line. So if you see me in one of those lines, steer clear because I’m behind a dufus.

Another thing that irks me, actually really pi**es me off, is when I’m in the Traverse and someone pulls out in front of me, WHEN THERE’S NO OTHER VEHICLES BEHIND ME, WHEN I’M DRIVING THE SPEED LIMIT and WHEN I HAVE TO HIT THE BRAKES TO KEEP FROM HITTING THEM and then flips me off when I lay down on the horn.

They are limited to 25 MPH by law.

:) You are correct..... street lethal can only go 25 mph.

:oops: Meant street legal. :gc:

10 Top Causes of Golf Cart Accidents and How to Prevent Them

Quote:
Top Ten Causes of Golf Cart Accidents
Hanging leg outside of the golf cart.
Reversing downhill.
Driving over wet, muddy, or uneven terrain.
Driving cart under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Leaving the brake unlocked upon exiting.
Passengers overcrowding the cart or standing.
Racing or other horseplay.
Inattentive vehicular drivers.
Driving while distracted (eating, reaching for objects, texting, etc.)
Sharp turns.

I copied/pasted this from another comment (the above). BUT today I saw a guy in a cart on 466a between Canal St. and B.V. going east! I was going west, otherwise might have pulled next to him to tell him to get off the road or be killed.

I have several peeves...but ALL are 1st World issues. I dislike folks who drive and don't signal and change lanes without indicating it. I dislike people who (get ready for it) who feel they can say they have a "service dog" when it clearly is NOT. I dislike on social media where people ask a "pointed question" and noone gives them the answer they're looking for. I could go on and on...but will read what others share instead.

Well too many people are in a hurry too. I was on Morse (south of 466) today and was going the 35 speed limit. Many passed me and my guesstimate of what they were doing would put them at 45 or 50 mph. You do NOT want to get a ticket here!! Yes, the police do catch people! I've seen two cars pulled over in the past 24 hrs. Sometimes they do hide....

Street Legals are allowed on Morse and Buena Vista...if it bothers folks...then pass them in the other lane. I understand! I was behind the gal on Morse today (heading south) and there was a whole lane, backed up behind her. BUT she had the right to be there. No different than a car going 25 mph.

I am annoyed terribly that no one has stepped up to be the resident Villages Food Critic. We do have an opening. Qualified residents only need to complain about everything that is wrong and never about what is great. Our negativity level in the Food Reporting Department has plummeted. :duck:

Thought of another one....people who jay walk or even in the cross walk without looking both ways!! People in vehicles sometimes don't stop so that's a factor too. In the other news online...the people who can't park properly! BUT that said...maybe they should give up driving. Did anyone hear on the radio this a.m. where Larry observed a person in a small SUV trying to park (with difficulty) in a spot where there already was a golf cart? I've seen that many times in our tenure here...or the ones going the wrong way.

I agree with the op's that referred to walkers, bike riders etc. that wear dark clothing w/out lights. We've encountered those before and it's startling.

I've done that a few times, myself.:duck:

As a retired cop, you should be looking ahead, and anticipating what that moron is about to do. He's just telling you you're still number 1....hehehe

People that hit into you on the course. Had it happen twice yesterday. After the second time I "explained it properly".

-- People who talk during movies, like they think they are at home in their recliners.

-- People in movie theaters who sit behind me and rattle ice and rustle wrappers and somehow make noise with popcorn.

I know, but sometimes you just don't expect it. My wife (36yr LEO) was with me today when it happened; after I ranted and raved for about 30 seconds, she said it happens all the time to her also. :ohdear::ohdear:

And a non-SL golf cart is limited to 20. ;)

And those laws "limiting" cart speed are observed about the same as stop and speed limits signs here!!

Drivers speeding in the neighborhoods. The speed limit in neighborhoods is 20 mph not 40. Also drivers cutting the corner.

...

...

People who insist on stopping for a conversation in the middle of a walkway at the grocery store, amusement park, music or drama venue, or any other public place where it inconveniences those who do not wish to walk around you. Step over to side folks. It's respectful.

Loud and obnoxious drunks who insist on talking or laughing louder than everyone else in a bar or restaurant so that they can be noticed.

OMG, yes. People, STFU during the movie. And open your candy before the show starts please.

I'm convinced that this will never happen, so I just wait for the movie to be available to rent.

I hear ya, bro, and thanks for your service, and that goes to your bride also.:bigbow:

Don't be hating on Ninjas.

How about those people checking out in the grocery store who discover they forgot something when the last item is scanned and send hubby off to get it while you wait

Or they might just be lonely. I wait patiently for my turn and don't let it bother me.

People still write checks? Oh dear me...

Every 23 days, my Bride closes the toilet lid before going to bed and when I wake up at 2:41am to respond to my calling, head to the head, I sit down to a chilling welcoming.






:shocked:

I don't play the big courses any more, but back when when I did, I used to hit the ball back up the course.

People who judge me (and even call me ugly names) because of my politics, religion, race, gender, or how much wealth I have.

People who can't seem to park within the legal lines of the available spaces.

Dogs
 

People who allow their dogs to use others property as their bathroom, people who take their dogs onto the squares, people who dress their dogs like people. people who take their dogs into supermarkets with fake "service dog" covers.:MOJE_whot:
