Snow Birds
So it is winter time in Boca. That means the snow birds start rolling in deep, and the average age goes from 30-35 to 70-80.
This 75 year old dropped a 25 pound weight on me at the gym, then yelled at me for not being a proper staff member (I don't work at the gym, nor was I helping her ???), then on my way back home I almost got hit twice by snow bird mobiles.
That sparked me to start a thread with pics of the funniest snow bird moments I catch. See anything funny/scary snow bird moments? Take a pic and share the wealth.
Some nice parking jobs.
The last pic was the result of no joke 4 mins of parking procedure. She took the last two spots available, and held up the line (aka me behind her) because she got them to call the manager to return her purchase since there was too much peanut butter in her Reeses Pieces chocolate ( ??????)

Update: Yesterday, one started honking like crazy because it took me a few seconds to go as the light turned green, not realizing that the reason I wasn't going was because the intercoastal bridge 15 feet in front of us was up. Sorry I don't feel like trying to drive thru a 40 foot high wall of steel into the intercoastal.
Note: I've never had problems with Snow Birds in the previous years (aside from one hitting my car in the parking lot like 4 years ago). I believe they are getting angrier due to 2012/global warming.
Boca Ivan: Planet Fitness, changed the name a few weeks ago to YouFit. Very crappy gym but I only pay 12 bucks/month so it's worth it.

Lol good eye, but that's because most of the snow birds that have houses in Boca have a car that sits in their garage until they come down. Hence the reason I call them Snow Mobiles....It's like a Crown Victoria Daily Driver from Hell.

I go to la fitness in the mornings (5am). All the snow birds are there for the spin class. I curse one out almost every morning.
Snow birds run rampant in Ft. Myers/Naples also. It sucked when I was going to school there last year. Being stuck behind a line of snow birds going 15 under gets pretty old, and annoying lol.
