Let's come up with a name for those who cannot follow the terms of a contract that they willingly signed.

Some years back I got into a conversation with a woman about driving. She claimed that it was perfectly OK if she went 10 or 15 miles per hour above the posted, as she was a better driver than most on the road anyway. When there was no other traffic she claimed to go even faster.

I replied that speed limits are not suggestions and are there for the safety of all. Her response: "I suppose YOU never go over the speed limit when there is no chance of getting caught?"

I remember my answer. "No. And I think your question says a whole lot more about you, than it does about me".

She was at a loss for words after that.

I applaud them.

A little boy was sitting on a bench beside a MMP devouring chocolate bars. Two little white haired ladies in a red golf cart stopped and one of them told him that he shouldn’t eat so much candy. Whereupon he said “My grandfather lived to be 104”. The lady said “Why, did he eat a lot of candy?” The little boy replied “No, he minded his own business”.

A group of us underage (hopefully past the statute of limitations) good citizens did what good neighbors should, we started to move the bull late at night. First it was around the guys property, then one day we started to put him at the different High Schools (He was bolted to a trailer). Perhaps if some started moving code violating nick naks in TV, the homeowner will 1) get the hint 2) believe their items are possessed and trash them, or 3) (most likely my scenario) Not even realize they are moving?

Or number 4------take video and you get arrested for trespassing

I certainly hope that the nosy busybodies get put in their place when they attempt to turn in their tattling reports.

So, those that think that the story of Troll Ladies is just an urban legend, can rest assured that they really do exist and are busy informing on your neighbors (or maybe you).

Are you serious? “Troll ladies”, “nosy busy bodies” “tattling” “white haired ladies” Your post says a lot more about YOU than these 2 ladies.
Were you trolling them?
Isn’t watching their every move and noting even the speed of their clipboard writing being a “nosy busy body” too?
Are you not “tattling” on them here?

of course you can always call the police about a suspicious cart taking notes .

I'm not angry, since they won't find any problems with my home. Personally, I find it pathetic and am embarrassed for them if they live in the Villages and can't find anything better to do than tattletale on some that are not even close enough to be their neighbors. The home they appeared to be taking notes on, has some peculiar items in their yard, but I do not find it offensive or ugly. It hasn't lowered the home values in the neighborhood, and there are many other homes on our street with more lawn ornaments. Personally, I find them interesting. A home just two houses down recently sold for over $600K after being listed only one day. According to the deed restrictions, district one and two seem to be pretty open to personalizing lawns. Whether one likes it or not, as long as one follows the rules, no one can fault them.
There had been some discussion as to whether these lady trolls were real of just urban legend, so I my interest was piqued when I observed a golf cart stop in the road and one of the women writing on a clip board and pointing in several places on the property of the neighbor. Then they drove off, and I didn't bother watching anymore.
I follow the rules in most cases, but I have no problem with artistic diversity rather than military housing style of uniform appearance.

That's a wonderful idea. Everyone who spots them should call the police. Other than the fact that it wastes the time of LEOs (which is a major drawback), perhaps enough encounters with the police would discourage the old biddies from trolling. Probably not.

Or they get hired by the CDD for their service. As long as we live in a community there are common interests.

[frose]

that's what we need. mind your own business or suffer the potential consequences of a very irate home owner..

Somehow I doubt that'd be forthcoming.

FS 810.14. A person, in public, has no expectation of privacy. The consent law you mention is most likely Fl Wiretapping Laws. Conversation. ((Party Consent Required).
