So many rude people in Florida.By Kitty, Section Diaries
Sometimes I wonder what causes it. The heat? The crowding? The need to make tons of money because everything is overpriced? No matter what the reason, one thing is for certain, and that is that rude people Rule Florida.
Before I start, let me say that since my job is inside, I go outside when I need to buy food, get away etc. Hardly ever, though. In that short space of time in between home and car, and sometimes IN car, here are some of my stories.
Encounters: Pet store: Aquatic Life on Luckhardt street. These people are just plain rude. The cashiers throw your purchases at you, literally, and when you ask to buy fish (2.50 for a goldfish), the salespeople tell you no. "You don't want to throw in a sacrificial lamb" one told me. Nutso. My neighbor lives with her daughter's daughter.. and the little girl comes over all the time. I can hear her screaming, and I look out and she is sitting by my car with trash all around her. I told her to leave but she didn't, just gave me a look and threw a paper plate down on my lawn. I walked outside to get the mail one day and saw her breaking my cactus, laughing. Everything that we keep outside she has broken. My neighbors-LOUDEST Cubans EVER. They actually SCREAM. During the day, night, whatever. In the morning they bang and smash stuff, it sounds like kids banging pots together constantly. They throw their garbage all over the place. My neighbor that lives 4 houses down says SHE can hear them inside. I told her she wouldn't want to live next to them, then. COUNTLESS lousy drivers.. driving too slow, driving too fast, swerving around, going super slow then not using a turn signal, trying to turn when they can't, speeding towards me, halfway in my lane, and honking, almost hitting my car. Countless encounters of that. It seems no one in Florida can drive. The Employers. Wal-mart has said countless harassing things to me, one being "You don't work hard enough. Look at Tony, he is a great worker". They won't give you any respect if you're a female. Publix in Stuart is just as bad. The head manager walks around saying things like, "If you two put your heads together, you can do it, since you both have half a brain". Said to me on my 2nd day, to me and the Cake Decorator.
Mexicans walking down streets. They yell all day like they're on Jerry Springer. When I look out they yell things like, "I'll kill your mom". etc etc. Cars honk for no reason, people are indescribably rude.. Anyone want to switch houses? ^__^
