I realize that most of the Snowbirds have returned, just go to Colony Plaza and you can experience first hand, I was in Public's yesterday, and again the rudeness is there, people in the middle of the aisles, who refuse to move their carts, a man was arguing at the Cash Register about his bill My husband went out to get the car as I stood in Line and laughed at the impatience of people, left with a full basket and my husband met me at the front of the store, to pick me up. He was parked at the end of Publc''s and a woman pulls behind him and starts blowing her horn, We were not obstructing traffic, and gave plenty of room for any car to go by. She shot me the finger, gray haired and all. If you cannot be patient, than go back to the North and leave us Southerners alone, I am so sick of your rudeness, impatience and hostility, We are all retired and have all day, to ponder what tomorrow will bring.

Perhaps your gray-haired nemesis was a Southerner?

She was probably from Spanish Springs. Those northerners are mighty pushy.

Well, at least the Westerners and Easterners are not involved in this discussion.

Sorry, there are no Southerners in Florida. The South ends at the Florida state line ;-)

If the North won the war why all the hostility? Or, maybe the hostility instigated the war.

it was an islamic jihadist creating a distraction while the big boom for last night was set up....

And, I only got one pickle on my cheeseburger.

I think it is rude and unsafe to park in front of any store to wait to pick someone up. What if everyone did this instead of the privileged few?

[graciegirl]

That's pushin' it, Looney.


Howsomever, I was just at Publix and it wasn't very crowded when I came in so I allowed myself to evaluate all of the different kinds of greens for salad until I looked around and saw I had been blocking someone. Ditto, the meat area. I wish I could park my cart somewhere not bothering folks and look for some things that I enjoy taking time to find.


I don't think that is gonna be a easy fix so I will try to remember to look around me and be more considerate. I don't argue over the bill, but I do sigh from time to time. And I NEVER honk. I think our horn is practically a virgin.


I am not a snowbird. I am a hometowner.

Hmmmm.... I'm from Michigan. Guess that makes me one of those Northerners.
Gray hair does not mean Northerner.
Rudeness, impatience & always in a hurry knows no boundaries.
We have a lot more people here this time of the year so some of these things become more noticeable.
Slow down, take a deep breath and enjoy life.

That would make it much more difficult to know who is sitt'n, who is honk'n and who is flipp'n.

Kind of sounds like some song lyrics going on here.

I was not born in The Villages. I moved here. From somewhere else. Might have been from the north. Not sure.
