But, I did not doing anything more than give her a good stare down which I hope she felt from me and the woman in the car on the other side of the parking spot she forced her way into while scaring the poop out of me. Just figuratively.

I was seriously thinking if showing her much impression of a sailor just into port but changed my mind due to keeping my blood pressure down.

I have been seeing so much more selfish behavior here in the Villages of late.

Tal - the expression I use for those perennially dissatisfied individuals is: GRUMP BUCKETS.

I believe you came across one yesterday.

And then there are the crotchety full-timers who have no use for snowbirds/renters/guests/seasonal owners and strongly resent their arrival and demonstrate their aversion to same. They seem to believe that their year-round residency supersedes all others and entitles them to maintain their usual practices...like the couple who bypassed the restaurant waiting line and told the Hostess - "But we live here year-round!"

Parking a few extra spaces away is also a nice way to walk some for exercise.

Well said,

Some want to get irritated at anything someone else does if they don't like it even if they are not doing anything wrong. Actually the complainers and name callers are the real problem, doubtful the other driver is still dwelling on it today or even remembers it.

How can you tell a snowbird, renter or tourist just by seeing them out and about in the Villages? Oh, I know the time I saw three white rental golf carts traveling together coming out of Lake Sumter and enter the round about. But other than that time I just can't tell.
