Well I don't care about them but I do always keep window rolled up in case one fo them pulls a knife.

What I don't like is the way people drive in Orlando. Loud Honda Civics. And cars that aren't street legal. People get in accidents here because of a little rain.

And I'm not sure what happened but someone tailgated my girlfriend on the Turnpike and tried to run her off the road. After that I told her not to take toll roads anymore.

Confused about what makes you think being on a toll road would make one more prone to maniacs who'd like to run you off the road in comparison to being on a non-toll road? What am I missing here??

I wonder if the car tailgating Joey's gf on the Turnpike had blinking lights, given her admitted propensity for blowing thru toll booths?

If they're standing in the street with signs and begging for money from strangers, they're clearly desperate people one way or another. I'm not sure why you have so much hate for one brand of desperation over another. In any case, I really wish people would stop giving money to them in these scenarios. It really ruins the atmosphere and encourages them to keep doing it. There are ways to help the less fortunate that don't involve creating a traffic hazard.

in a perfect world those with money to throw away would help stabilize them - do you know how many homeless teens going to HIGH School there are in our area?

Soaring number of homeless students concentrated in Central Florida

Soaring number of homeless children reported in Greater Orlando - Orlando Sentinel

the tri-county area identified more than 13,700 homeless students last year ----2014

Orange reported more than 6,700 — the highest homeless population in the state.
