The parking photo gives you sense of the "entitlement" many Villagers feel they deserve. My wife got screamed at from someone in our neighborhood this morning at 7:30am because our 3 lb. dog stepped 12" into his yard from the curb. Waiting to meet up with him, so we can have a little talk about manners and respect, and to thank him for the verbal abuse my wife suffered. So much for America's Friendliest Hometown, what a nice way to start the morning! Oh wait, that's another story……

Might a been a guy in a hurry doing the best he could. Haven't we all been there?

"They're" baaaaaaaaaaack!

I don't think there was any ulterior motive or afore or after thought. Just a little sloppy. Thankfully, we have the widest parking spaces I've seen. BTW, entitled is when someone parks their cart behind your cart at the Square and walks away.

It’s ok to think it, but please don’t act on it. It all has to start somewhere, a vandalism here, a vandalism there and before you know it TV is no different than downtown Detroit or Chicago. We don’t live in a vacuum. Thanks.

Please don't anyone vandalize any property (unless you want your pic to end up on the online news site). Karma will rear its ugly head on people that do you, or any other person, wrong. Retiring is right, let's not let our hamlet become a place people hate to be in. Trust me, the three of us (myself, my wife and son) have arrested many that started down that path of just doing something as petty as vandalism.

What comes to my mind immediately is that the person on the left (I'd say it was my husband, but our cars are black) doesn't care to take the time to straighten out his (or my, in the black car case) car so IT WON'T GET HIt!!! WHY? Who would leave a car parked like that, interfering with others and putting his own car in danger of being dinged? I mean, what do you think, money grows on the bottlebrush tree in the backyard, Ron? Sheesh.

... Oh, sorry, it wasn't about Ron's parking skills. I momentarily forgot myself there, Villager Dude. He IS a good pickle ball player if your friend ever returns. just don't park anywhere near him.

"Entitled" people are everywhere, & all ages. About five years ago in South Florida I was getting take-out at a Chinese restaurant & a car pulled in next to my driver's side with the entire passenger side of her vehicle in my space. So when I squeezed out of my door to go into the restaurant my door lightly 'bumped' her car. Driver leaps out & begins yelling at me: "Why you hit my car?" I calmly pointed out that she was in my parking space. Yikes! So I go in to pick up my food, when I realize that the people in the car that was in my space were waiting in their car and...they worked at this restaurant. So I called my hubby & said I'm afraid to leave in my car. So he comes right over & we switched cars in the parking lot & he squeezes into my car through the passenger side & drives home. P.S. - the girl & her boyfriend were still sitting there in the car. Also they were young. Quite frankly I was apprehensive, this being S. Florida, you just never know.

I've seen Ron's parking. She's not kidding.

Why don't we knock off the "Florida's Most Friendly Hometown" stuff. Every place has it's ups and downs. Stop trying cause trouble. Silly......

Maybe he was making a K-Turn and ran out of gas.

Yea, stop causing trouble. Besides, from what I can see, mostly we have overbellys.
