Seriously Florida is full up…we don’t want anymore. Ship them to Canada or Zimbabwe or something.
Yes there are stories behind this today because I’ve witnessed some of the absolute god awful behavior out of people today.

The sheer number of batshit I see in Florida is the reason why I now refuse to move there...and that is where my wife has always wanted to move to. Specifically, she wants to move to Orlando and get season passes for WDW. She loves her some Disney that much and her brother and sister-in-law work there (and he just got some big promotion recently).

Idiot brother and sister-in-law have wanted to permanently move to Florida for years now, as sister-in-law's aunt lives there. They even bought a house there pre-COVID. Meanwhile, I see articles like this and nope on out while joking that idiot brother, who has done some Florida Man-worthy things, would fit in just fine.

Ok so guess I’ll catch you all up…aaaaaaaannnnndddddd….off we go.
There was a carjacking literally right in front of the terminals at Orlando International.
Someone was rear ended in front of Texas Roadhouse right near my house recently. The dude that rear ended the other dude tried stealing the other dudes backpack and shot him when he tried stopping him.
We had a dude messed up on drugs wipe out in front of my restaurant earlier this week. Apparently the entire mob didn’t have cell phones so asked me to call a paramedic. Dude got in the closed restaurant and barricaded himself in the restroom for an hour.
Drunk driver fell asleep behind the wheel in front of our restaurant last night in traffic and got arrested…luckily no one injured.
Stopped by Publix before work today and had some dude ask me if we were still doing the six foot thing because I wasn’t up the ass of the woman in front of me in line and then proceeded to ramble about Covid conspiracies.
Got to work and this batshit insane woman was at the bar with her son. Kid was the nicest little dude. Mom was one of the most misogynistic people I’ve met in my life. Treated my other bartender like shit…completely ignored her and told her son this is how you treat servers. Then proceeded to lecture the boy about how she prefers boys over girls and girls are mouthy little whores and how if she has a girl she’d slap the shit out of her the second she got mouthy because apparently boys don’t have attitudes. She can’t stand girl power and women don’t deserve same treatment as men if they can’t do the job. I’m pretty sure my boss eventually booted her ass.

We're safe, all our old folks go there for the winter and no one comes up here in the summer. One case where I guess we're glad there isn't reciprocation.

Specifically, she wants to move to Orlando and get season passes for WDW. She loves her some Disney that much and her brother and sister-in-law work there (and he just got some big promotion recently). In slight fairness to Florida, one of the reasons Florida Man exists is that Florida is the largest state that actually makes its police blotters public information, I believe; if more states did that, there'd be plenty more material to go around on stuff like that. But at the same time...yeah, there are reasons to be quite wary about moving to Florida nowadays. My brother was talking about doing that for awhile, but my uncle does a lot of work there now and lives there part-time, and the stories are, uh, yeah, kind of like this thread, and that's just one issue of late. For me, every time I hear that The Villages is the fasted growing "metro" area in America I just imagine that if I died and woke up in a sunny cul-de-sac with no idea how to find my way off the various winding suburban streets, away from the gaudy McMansions, and to the nearest convenience store for so much as a soda, it would mean I'd done some terrible things in my life.

Texas is honestly about as weird. Texas is odd. Lived out there,Port Arthur/Nederland/Beaumont area,for a decade. Saw a woman driving at least 55 on a 30 MPH street at 11pm no lights on. Watched cops pass by her in the other lane and do nothing. Saw 2 guys,both in bright orange NOMEX suits,ride a lawn mower down the road to go buy beer and cigs. Watched a bum,who the cops were after for breaking into a home,walk around the gas station I worked in at the time,with his pants and drawers at his ankles. And he kept swinging and shaking his member at the cops while yelling at them in still not sure if it was a real or made up language. Hell one night while on break,was outside having a cig,watched a big ass lincoln drive into the side of a Howard E Butts Grocery. Cops pull up. Dude gets out of his car and tries to run off. Cops tell him to stop,he does until they get close to him and he takes off running again. Dude got tasered. Oddly even though I have been to Florida many times never saw anything odd. But then I haven't been to FL since late 96.

I'd suggest the Mediterranean but the Greeks don't want no freaks.

Florida attracts a lot of people. Like, every state has its homegrown freaks. Florida not only has their own, but imports them from the rest of the country too.

I got insane and decided to work near one of the tourist hot spots in town. That’s part of the problem. We also had a neo Nazi March around our business complex months ago before election time. Yup.

I just came to the realization that Scott Steiner lives near me. Maybe I can convince him to take care of the Freaks because he’s an expert on the matter.

Every time my mother gets tired of cold weather she asks me if I want to go on vacation to Florida or Texas, and I'm like, "Can't you ever suggest a warm state that isn't ridiculous?"

As much as I roll my eyes at the "Florida Man" meme (due to their colorful news stories), there's gotta be people in Florida that aren't as insane. Same for Texas. It's easy to forget that large states have a diverse range of political views, etc.
