Crazy Florida doing Florida

Sheriff Judd don't play. I live in Orlando, wish he was our Sheriff. However, when i was a young'un, I was known to partake in such activities and parties. My generation did tend to be a bit more respectful and discrete though. Lifes just a big party.

lol my Dad was Gen X born in 70 and had an early baby (I’m 88), but his stories are far from respectful or discrete 😂
 
Fortunately and surprisingly, it’s pretty tame here in Ft. Lauderdale. We did away with Spring Break a while back and that was the last of the random crazy shit occurring at night, now it’s just your average big city crime crap, but even that doesn’t seem to be over the top in any sense.

I’ve been down here 20 years after growing up in New England, I can relate to a lot of @Mikael Dez in regard to the whole nice/honesty thing between the regions. Though down here, because it’s so transient, people tend to be a bit more disassociated with you than anything. Like, “I’m never going to see that face again so who cares if I jump in front of them in this line”, or the assholes in their cars who drive like there’s no one else on the road. The new thing is to just stop in the middle of the street, whether it’s a 45mph zone or not. I actually got a dash cam recently just because of this exact thing, most certainly people checking GPS, but holy shit man.

I send my assistant at work videos of Grady Judd when she’s having a rough day because he cracks her up. She sent me the clip of that one news conference where he said something about “We only stopped shooting because we ran out of bullets” that had her dyin’ so I sent her a bunch more where he’s coming up with all these Judd analogies and phrases he loves so much.

Here in the ATL area, all the supposed niceness goes out the window when you hit the roadways. :LOL:
But every big city has that no matter where you live.

Some dumbass caught my full ire this morning on the way to the dog park when they started swerving into my lane and couldn't hear me beeping. I don't know if they just weren't paying attention or started to actually turn into my lane, but I had to slam on the brakes and Echo fell down onto the floor and I just went red. This was about 3 minutes after I got a coffee at the Dunkin drive-thru and the dipshit in front of me just stopped their car in the drive thru lane, blocking me in. I beeped and dipshit puts his hands in the air as if to signal it was illogical for me to not want to wait on whatever the fuck he was doing so I just kept my hand on the horn until said dipshit pulled forward enough for me to get out.

I dunno WTF is up in the last couple years down here, but it seems the majority of drivers are incapable of reaching the posted speed limit. The amount of times I have to pull around someone going 25mph in a 45mph is infuriating. It's not just old people, it's not just snowbirds. I know it's easy to toss out the 'We're living in Idiocracy' thing, but seriously, WTFFFFF?

I would go red if my dog had to eat shit because of some asshat - it’s times like that the other person is lucky there are modern laws in place 😡

They're more than likely texting or looking at social media. It's a sickness.

That's always my first thought, but at this point I've passed enough of them while looking over with a "WTF DUMBASS!" face and see there's no phone anywhere in sight.

Stoplights, though, there's a 99.9% probability that if they're not stepping on the gas when the light turns green it's because a damn phone.
