[...] I’d venture to say that the only mustache rarer and more disconcerting than the devil is what’s also known as the H1tler. In fact, I’d wager a bet that few people have rocked the H1tler since Adolph himself performed mass genocide on 14 million individuals. Distressingly, this person not only donned the H1tler; he bore an uncanny resemblance to him, which made me that much more uncomfortable. As a Jew in the South, no less, this guy actually sent a shiver down my spine. Not unlike seeing a swast1ka on your neighbor’s replica WWII German war plane (see article for that doozy). [...]

Floridians, in my opinion, have little tolerance, compassion and respect for others. But then again, the lifestyle in Florida does not require us to interact with others as much as maybe some people who live in cities like NY or smaller towns. I use to live in NYC. I love New Yorkers. My experience has been that new yorkers really look out for one another, are very helpful and respect their neighbors for the most part. Maybe it has to do with the frequency of daily interaction with people because you live in such close quarters as well as transportation methods (subways and buses). I am sure this is one of many reasons.

I live in Seattle and my neighbors are fabulous- within the few blocks around my house there are at least 8 gay families, 6 Obama yard signs, and everyone walks their dogs everyday. Do you think this is a “people of the north, people of the south” phenomenon or is Florida a vortex for a certain, uh, type of person?

I was looking for an escape from my reality tonight so i decided to read about yours. This was such a funny post I LOL’d the whole way through it. My neighborhood is finally getting a face lift with new walkways, roofs, elevators, etc. so today the concrete people redo the walkway in front of the elevators and clearly post yellow tape and orange cones with signs that say wet cement. They even shut down the elevators to prevent people who can’t read and see these obstacles from stepping in the wet cement. Yet my one neighbor seem to feel like he owns all 164 units and takes it upon himself to walk through the drying concrete while telling our property manager “you cant tell me not to walk here” as she hopelessly and frantically flails her arms yelling “stop, no!”
People are unreal. Thanks for the great laugh and keep posting.
