florida pet hates

Come on there must be things that drive you nuts. Here's my two.

Enormous kids and by enormous I mean age wise, being crammed into those Disney strollers. We saw loads that were easily 8/9 if they were a day. They must have needed a shoe horn to get them out! A lot of them couldn't even fit their legs in.

The second one an adult reserving a place in a queue then the rest of the group arriving later. Have no problems with leaving a line to take kids to the toilet have done it myself loads of times.[msnembarrased]but I always make sure everyone knows I am doing it.

Workmen who never turn up on time or indeed just never turn up. Getting any work done on your villa is a nightmare as nothing ever happens quickly in Florida.

This is even more frustrating when as an owner, you have guests in the villa who call with a problem and it takes a while to get someone out to attend to the problem. The guests naturally think it's you that is delaying things, but it could not be further from the truth!

Apart from that we LOVE Florida and everything Floridian [msnsmile2]

Have to agree with that JOhn, the laid back approach to life in Florida is great for a holiday but a nightmare if you wnat something urgent doing "yesterday".[msnsmile2]

arriving at the airport! such a long drawn out process always feel drained when thats over! then when findnig car rental get the car and all the airport stuff gets put back away till the day we come home! and thats another thing i hate about florida! having to come home!

I agree, it's a bit like the Spanish "manyana" it never comes!!

Have to agree with LiesaAnna on this one, I completely understand the need for security, but this is the time where we are almost certain to have a 'marital'!!!!:(

will have to add that one to my list as well. By the time we get to the pick up the car queue i have lost the will to live. I always find there is a point on the plane journey when I hit a wall and things start to get a bit fraught.

Having 20% added to our check automatically when there are only 2 of us. Also kids misbehaving in a resturant.

Rain when I want to sunbathe.

Contractors telling us they will come on a certain day, waiting in all day and they don't turn up. The service in general is poor from lots of companies many who promote this "the customer is great attittude". Had too many dealings to know this is not always the case.

However there are a trillion reasons why we love it so can put up with a few not so hot things:D

I love Florida and our home 99.9% (I can even manage the plane journey)! :)

The 0.01%? Tt just infuriates me when people aren't punctual and don't turn up when they're supposed to do so! If I can manage to be there on time, why can't they? [msnsad]

I am married to a bulder I have no problems getting the work done
Although he does moan sometimes
my pet hates first is the big greedy people who go to the eat all you can buffet
Eat and eat just for the sake of it I know its temping and we all will have indulged at times
but some are just down right greedy
Second is the drivers that weave in and out side to side of traffic without signaling :D:D
