Thank you, Travelassie. The illegals get a free pass, just because they are illegals. They need to be deported, all of them.

Seems to me that patient persistence with a pleasant attitude, and consideration for the folks involved makes them respond better, even to the point where they might even jump hoops for you in solving whatever problem it it was, just because you have been so nice. At least that has been my experience.
No not the rude part, I can't take that, old, young, from NY/NJ or Florida, no matter. I was referring to dr

The original subject of the thread was not about rude or obnoxious snowbirds. It was about the effect they have collectively on our day to day activities during the season and how it'll feel good to be on the other side of the season. I love almost all the snowbirds individually but like pelicans, get more than a couple together and it becomes an issue.

I'm still looking for the million illegals playing golf and tipping with Canadian coins. Must be a west coast thang.

You're lots more likely to see illegals crowding our emergency medical services and social services, enrolling their kids in our schools, and taking our jobs.

You may find some working as caddies on those golf courses.

Hmmmm, if you're talking about their driving, if it's hazardous, you can't give them, or anyone a pass on that either. All you can do is to give them a wide berth to protect yourself, if possible. Some of those folks who shouldn't be driving anymore have caused serious accidents resulting in severe injuries or even worse.

Snowbirds come down to Florida and each spending many thousands of dollars during their stay even supporting much of Floridas economic infrastructure in many areas and the attitude they get is spend your money then hurry up and leave.

Well, to be fair, we hate each other more than we hate you.
