Ticked off! @window contractors [Orlando Sentinel]

Orlando Sentinel (FL)

I’m ticked off that each time legislators address homeowners insurance greed problems, or most any problem, it ends up costing me more money.

I’m ticked off to find that no window contractors are willing to tell you the price range over the phone. They insist on having to come measure and look plus an hour conference in which you know they will try to talk you into the purchase even if you feel you cannot afford them. I abhor greedy, uncaring merchants like this and refuse to deal with them. Shame on them!

I totally agree with the ultra bright headlights causing serious night driving problems. I solved that problem by buying yellow glasses for night driving that eliminate the problem, and it’s like having a new pair of eyes. Most stores that carry sunglasses also have the yellow ones. They’re also fantastic for driving in a heavy downpour day or night. Try them, you’ll love them!

If you are one of the few Florida drivers who uses your turn signals, you’re awesome. Thank you. But please be aware that using them too early can be dangerous. If there are side streets and/or driveways between you and your turn, using your signal too early may give drivers waiting on those streets/driveways the wrong idea.

It ticks me off when people behave like a narcissist! They think that they are special and that rules and laws do not apply to them! For example, the leash laws! They believe that their dog can run free, poop on others lawns and even the sidewalks and the leash law is for the rest of us minions!

I’ve tried for months to speak to a human at Florida Power and Light. FLP website is an endless loop of scenarios that do not apply. Customer service anyone? Not for FLP.

The flip side

I would like to say thank you to the Orange County first responders who helped when I had a medical problem. You did an excellent job and this old lady is feeling okay now.
