People who don't like dogs.

billethkid 01-25-2019 10:01 AM

People using handicap tags who are more able and capable than most of us!!!

Right behind that one is one; those who feel a need to tell us,..... but they may have something you cannot see.

Lastly those, with the handicap tag, who are making a bee line to an open handicap spot.....DO NOT GET IN THEIR WAY!!!!!!!!!!!

:shocked: Won't be long and we'll be reading about recreational use of "Grass" on the Squares and people driving thru the flower beds in the roundabouts. :icon_wink: That will help City Fire's P.R.

They already are, not all vaping you see is nicotine.

Buena Vista and Morse speed limits below 466 are kept artificially low because of the few “legal” carts.

Although an anonymous report is allowed, it would be much more respectful and neighborly to approach your neighbor with your concerns. Is it possible they were unaware or misinformed of the need for approval or maybe it actually was approved by the ARC.

My God. Get a Life...Why complain about this petty stuff. We are seniors...Spend your time enjoying what time we have left. Ignore the issues that get you going. My Blood Pressure is high enough. I just want to enjoy life and not make/create issues. Of course, you will Blast me....So be it but just get along with your life and enjoy all the wonderful things we have here. Nothing is ever Perfect.......

I think that is a statement of fact made with absolutely no facts to base it. There are multitudes more bicyclists on those roads every day all day vs. the number of street legal carts that use it. Using bicycles as a reason would make more sense if one was to make up a factless reason but both would be way off base. Would you think the limit should be 50 so you can screech to a halt at every roundabout? At least say “in my opinion” or “I think” or post at what city meeting that was determined.

I don't need to know what happens on the 24th day.

But I am wondering what has happened on the 22nd day.

Because this was a thread started to enjoyably blow off steam. I don't think anyone is losing sleep over the things they are posting.

We all have annoyances we don't take action on. I think it's kind of a fun thread.

Cedwards38 01-26-2019 08:29 AM

People who are sanctimonious and holier than thou.

Cedwards38 01-26-2019 08:29 AM

People who don't spell check. :-)

Madelaine Amee 01-26-2019 10:48 AM

Agree with C.France. This is just a fun thread, and after all who else is going to listen to me complain about minor irritations. :icon_wink:

ditka41 01-26-2019 12:17 PM

People who are easily annoyed tend to annoy me.

ColdNoMore 01-26-2019 01:12 PM

I have little tolerance for those people who are...intolerant.

Agreed. On the few times we have to walk in the vicinity of City Fire at LSL or BW, it seems like a contest is going on to see which drunk can talk the loudest.

Another one of my irks is the amount of drunk driving accidents caused by people coming from City Fire, yet, it seems like no regulating agency is doing anything about it.

Does the state have a liquor control board that could pull their license?, or is it controlled by the Developer. Seems to me the Sheriff could pull some strings.:boom:

My problem with City Fire is the amount of smoke at the bar. Had no idea that statistics are kept about the drunk driving accidents caused by the two bars. What is the source of that information?

Seated at the square to listen to music.....Couple brought their stinky dinner from home to eat right there, next to me...Reaching down every few seconds for their drinks, ...Very annoying and inconsiderate, nosily chewing away, burping, talking loud, like they where the only people there...Ready to get up, if they decided to start farting ...

Being we're in the 21st century, there is no reason for anyone to be writing a check to pay for groceries. No stores should accept checks.

Some who are 80ish and up may either use a check or cash. My parental units only know how to use checks, have zero computer skills, no email addresses. ATM and credit cards are not in their future.

I respect how they choose to still be independent that is familiar. Checks are their comfort zone, I could never chastise them for writing a check, it’s respect that is in my upbringing for my elders.

It is a skill set I passed on to my children, and grandchildren, that not only should you respect their elders, they are a wealth of information that you will never find in a text book.

Cedwards38 01-27-2019 08:57 AM

People who are bigoted against snowbirds.

Cedwards38 01-27-2019 08:58 AM

People who insist on name calling in reference to those from whose politics they differ. EX: Republicanot, Libtard, Snowflake, Conservatard.

Towels hanging from golf bags and covering up the brake and turn lights on carts.
Cyclists riding 4 abreast and running stop signs while wearing shirts that say "Same Rules/Same Rights". It seems counter-intuitive to ride a bike for exercise and not want to stop, lose momentum and then have to work to regain same.

Have you since changed your mind...or have I missed/misinterpreted something? :confused:

Thanks in advance...for any clarification. :ho:

Sorry, not referring to myself. I was referring to someone who gave a snarky answer to someone else who asked for some clarification. If I name names, it'll be deleted.

I'm annoyed by people who insist on driving in the left lane at a low speed, no matter how much traffic is backed up behind you.

Anyone else want to send a message? :a040:

Yep, it seems that anyone or everyone, at the moment, owns the road. You may find, as we have, we cannot educate everyone or anyone here. It is downright dangerous and that is a common hazard. Have you ever considered, the drunks on the road? The alcoholics who start at 9 am and then about noon or 2 or 3 get in their car or cart and drive off,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, wobbly?
No license and no restrictions on driving drunk here, that we have seen. There is one solution and a lot of folks here are found for it as we are,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, MOVE. Have you seen Del Webb or Solavita or others that are REALLY gated communities? This is not a real gated community. Anyone can dimply push the button on the box and drive in. We used to walk at night, we now see some real scary folks driving around at night.
Sorry for the rant.

Mr. B. You can run but you can't hide. The same sorts drive in other gated communities too; the real gated and pseudo gated and the partially gated and the kinda gated.

You are in the villages, there are about 100,000 folks here and there is not one control of anyone. Be as foolish as you care to be. Drink and drive, drive slowly in the center lane, change lanes rapidly in the circles, run red lights, run stop signs,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,HEY LIVE IT UP
