People are entitled and inconsiderate. Sad and getting worse.

It was your fault. You should have parked in a pull-thru spot.

We never - and I mean NEVER - park in a spot that requires us to back up in order to leave.

So you never - and I mean NEVER - shop at Grand Traverse or Pinellas plazas?

Yes, we shop at both of these places and always park in pull-thru spots or we back into a parking spot.

IMO it doesn’t matter how other people are acting. It’s up to you to take care of you.

Entitlement
 
It's not until they are involved in a wreck and then face law suits that can change their lifestyle and put a lien on there house, do they care. But I for one do not want to be the replicant of one of their entitlement and I don't care to fallow the rules wrecks, that cripple's me up.

I think we need to complain to the Sheriff departments and Villages security for more enforcement.

I agree that the person's actions were selfish and careless, but......In Florida, lawsuits generally cannot take away your primary residence, your retirement savings or college savings, unless there is malicious intent. Furthermore, this was a private property parking lot, so complain all you want to the sheriff, but I doubt they have the ability to "enforce" an arrow painted on the pavement there.

Take a hike. You come across a couple of jerks in a parking lot and you automatically apply the behavior to all villagers?

So he gives me THE FINGER. Vulgar, inconsiderate, as well as unsafe.

Is this ultimate entitlement by Villagers ? You are unsafe. Follow the rules that the rest of us (most of us) follow. When you don't, you are endangering all others.
Do you think that this only happens in the Villages? I saw a lot of bad drivers before moving to the Villages.
And they were usually on highways - not driving 5 mph in a parking lot.

Magnolia Plaza vehicle traffic is out of control. It’s not large enough to accommodate the explosive housing growth south of that plaza.

Unfortunately there are immature people where ever you live
What goes around comes around
Be patient and kind

Same here. I always pull through when ever there are pull through spots available in a lot. I will walk further just to get a pull through spot.The smaller lots don't have those pull through spots.
