Went to the doctors office in Villages Hospital yesterday and noticed signs saying that physical and verbal abuse of staff will not be tolerated.

Went to Publix. Dodged the golf cart driving the wrong way in a one way lane. Observed all the carts and cars parked in the fire lanes.

In the store, a woman ate a few cherries. Spit the pits in her hand. Put the pits back in the bag of cherries and walked away. I brought this to the attention of the front desk so they could find this nasty bad of cherries and throw them away. Nothing was done.

Another man was walking through the store happily eating grapes from a bag. The bag was half empty. Wonder who will pay for the bag of grapes that he ate.

What is wrong with the Villagers?

The same thing that is wrong with the population of any town or city in the USA. There will always be thiefs, rude people, liars, and drunks. Did you think moving here would insulate you from the normal world? Unfortunately, this IS the new normal.

I guess it is a matter of lived experiences, and everyone's is apparently not the same. I have found The Villages and Villagers to be awesome. Our Villages has a Whats App to keep communication going between neighbors, a web page, and AED's paid for by donations and volunteers to save lives. People here are friendly and helpful. Most people seem happy to me. I guess there may be exceptions to the rule everywhere, but there seem to be fewer exceptions here than the places I've been. Good luck, I hope your experience improves, there is far more good than bad here. And that's honest, I'm not drinking any Kool-Aid.

That is a great answer!!

I can understand physical and verbal abuse at The Villages Hospital, what a worthless emergency department. Thank God there are other choices now for emergency aid.

Moving to villages is not going to change persons behavior or person habits.

Not saying it didn't happen, but I would love to know the whole story.

It happened all the time in my office. Patients became belligerent if they didn't get their way (appointment time, financial issues, etc). Receptionist would try to gently explain the reality, and after repeating herself for the fifth time, would lose her cool. You can only take so much. Staff should not need to tolerate swearing, threats, etc.

"We" haven't "become" anything in particular. Some people lack humanity. I blame their parents for neglecting to teach it to them.
