One of our full time residents has taken serious offence to the newly enforced rules that smokers not congregate at the doorway to the clubhouse. She was so incensed with the rules which are, to be honest, mainly insisted on by the larger population of winter residents that she wrote a 2 page letter and posted it on our bulletin board. So far 2 other people signed it in agreement.
This is what she wants:
1. Smokers should be able to smoke in the parking lot leading into the clubhouse. (It still stinks when we walk through it).
2. Horseshoe players should be allowed to pee in the bushes instead of having to walk over to the clubhouse to use the washroom. (Does anyone really want to see this?)
3. Bingo players should not be allowed to take beer and wine to the games. (I'd like to know who has the booze and I'll join them).
4. People should be allowed to bring their dogs to the clubhouse and tie them up outside the door. (Some people are frightened of dogs and, also, what if everyone did it...dogfights?)
I thought of writing a retaliatory letter and posting it on the bulletin board but that would only start a gang war so I get it out of my system by posting it on my blog.
This lady is actually quite nice but she is a hard core smoker with a cough that makes her sound one foot from the grave. I know it's only the addiction talking so I'll forgive her and like her anyway. But, please, no peeing in the bushes!

Smoking is one thing, but someone that thinks they need to have it 'allowed' to pee in the bushes has some other very serious issues.
You wouldn't believe the uproar everywhere you go in the park. People are gathering and raving about this letter. It's funny to see but not so funny for this poor woman who has made life in the park very difficult for herself. See where a raging nicotine fit can get you??
