I don't use the pools in TV but on a cruise ship if I want a chair or lounge that's been reserved with no owners in site I toss their towels and take the chair. I've done this on many cruises over many years without problem. Rarely does anyone return to reclaim their spot and when someone does I just ignore them. Nobody has ever said a word to me.

It's much more fun when you sit in a chair, hardly anyone there and 3 women ask where do you live this is a very busy pool and I should go to the one I live in. Are you a renter I hate renters. I love my response. I own three houses in three different villages. I can sit at any pool I want, and I am going to stay longer just to upset you and shorten your life. Sorry it's just rude people are so much fun

Wow, I don't doubt your comments, but I've never heard such rude comments at any of the pools we use, or anywhere else in The Villages.

Some pool people are very protective of their pool rights. And don't splash and get their hair wet. It's not all but they do have a welcome wagon that are just fun to watch. I have posted before about being asked why I am the pool do your are you visiting or renting? It happens.

I have NEVER heard you say anything negative before so I will PM my telephone number to you and if it ever happens again call me and I will drive over and beat them up.


Very surprising to hear this and I don't doubt it happened for one second just reading your comments for many years. You are one of the most credible posters on here all of the time and helpful and very smart too.


P.S. I don't know if I can beat anyone up because I have never tried but for you I would come and stammer around and cry like I usually do when I am mad.

Aaaahhhh thanks, GG. I got this. Crabby people die young. Today the rift was(same women) the guy down the street was dating someone half his age, his wife must be rolling over in her grave. So funny how people get their panties in a bunch over someone new at the pool or the poor widow who finally has someone to talk to. I still find them amusing.

Perhaps some day you will be confronted by a person experiencing lounge rage. Perhaps if you are lounging in this earlier claimed lounge you might find yourself face down after being tossed. Saving seat, etc is in the realm of the lawless and anything could happen because right is might in some people's minds

As a general rule, I think rude, entitled, and greedy people suck; however, I do try to choose my battles. Most likely, I'd let karma get them, but I'd have new towels, too! :P
