Why I hate Florida

Tweet

My family and I just moved from Florida to North Carolina last year and let me tell you I do not miss Florida one single bit. Both my wife and and Step-Daughter are from Florida and I am from California but I feel so at home here. My wife loves North Carolina as well. Of course my Teen-aged daughter is having a little bit of a hard time with the move. So to get to my point, we went on a trip back to Florida last week since it was my Step-Son's Birthday who passed away in 2009. We had a celebration in his memory. Now let me tell you what happened on this trip: A day after getting there we met up with my "In-Laws" at our timeshare. I used my Father In-Law's car to go to the store and did not even get a block away from where we were staying and I got pulled over! The guy pulled me over and told me that I have been driving without my lights on. He then told me that everyone passing by was signaling me to turn my lights on but I was the only person on the street at the time. After talking for a few mins he then tells me that I am still driving without my lights on. First of all is he running next to the van as he is writing the ticket as I am "Still Driving"? Second of all he was rude about it as if I was giving him a hard time and I was not. All I told him that I was there visiting and it was my Father In-Law's van and thought that the lights came on automatically like every other new car or van these days. I also told him that since the lights came on inside I assumed that they were on outside. So I manually turned on the lights and as I did he asked me if I knew how to work the van now. What a JERK!! That was all for that situation but there was another. I went to the registration office to get the title for my van that I moved from Florida to North Carolina. I gave her my Credit Card to pay for the title that I thought would only be a few dollars. When she told me that is was over $100 I said wow that is a lot of money and started discusing it with my wife. As I started talking to my wife about it she THREW the card back at me!! What the ..........??? There were more situations like that but I am at work and cannot get into more detail at this time. Does anyone else hate Florida like I do? What are some of the experiences that you have had to make you hate Florida other that stupid drivers that do not obey the traffic laws?
