She is not the one who seemed to be almost running me over to get to her mail. I really doubt if she remembers it either as she was quite full of herself after grabbing that parking space after scaring the out of a guy trying to get his dog into his car seat.

Some people can argue about anything.

Thankfully, I usually just take the golf cart to the postal center and would not have had this kind of problem as it is easy to get in and out of it with a small dog in your arms. Not so much a small car with a dog seat.

Should have let her hit you at 2 mph, then call your lawyer in front of her. OOPS, forgot you ARE a lawyer!

This is no surprise. Yep, am a all year around person and from May to Dec have had no agresive problems. Now that part timers are here I have had at lease 2 vulgar finger signs and god knows how many crazy drivers. Just have to wait until May for calm behavior to return.

We went to a function at Lake Miona where a golf cart was parked to the right of a space but exactly in the middle lengthwise. We tried to pull left of it forward and we would have been in the space in front. We pulled back and we would have been hanging in the aisle so we parked evenly next to their cart. When we came out (we were there first) we hurried to get in our cart to move it and the other driver arrived and loudly stated to her friend "What happened to common courtesy? Aren't you suppose to stagger cart parking?". I was going to answer back but sometimes it's just not worth it. She was delayed getting into her cart by 2 seconds.

You wouldn't give yourself an appendectomy would you Doc ?

There's a term for this and it stemmed from a well publicized experiment (using ugh! rats) to determine the effect of overcrowding.

Welcome to The Villages in prime time and adjust your attitude when it comes to driving roads/multi-modal cart paths, all stores, all restaurants, all village golf courses all entertainment venues on the squares............

I find it best to take up 2 spots this way you don't have to worry about getting hit by a car that comes to close.

Oh, come on now! Even at the peak of snowbird time, The Villages is not over crowded. It is very busy but not over crowded!

You are absolutely right that for 4 months, we do have to plan restaurant times different and the squares will be full when good entertainment is there (Rocky and the Rollers). Still, this is the very best place most could ever hope for.

I would say almost everyone is friendly but there always will be the grumpy pants in any living situation. Just smile at them and realize you are in a wonderful place.

Many are not getting why I am having a problem with this. A car is a dangerous weapon and should not be used to push people along if you are impatient with them. There were probably 60 or more parking spots where this woman could have parked rather than using her car to speed me up from getting Beau into his car seat.

I can put up with the everyday grouches but when a dangerous weapon is concerned like a car; that is different. Pull this with your car against a cop putting his or her dog in the car and you would probably get tazed maybe even shot .

Don't worry. It will only last a few more months until they go back north. Just breathe deep and keep your head on a swivel......

The added traffic does get taxing but there are more restaurant choices as well as more movie theater screens (24 now) and more places to shop. And 4 dog parks now even if one is not really worth calling a dog park.
