Bell is going through culture shock just as I did when first moving to FLA. I came from a place were people were (mostly) polite, considerate, friendly/neighborly, etc. Very few hassles. I imagine where he just moved from (MidWest/OH), was similar.
Now, he's dropped right smack in the middle of "A-Hole Central" (FL). With rude neighbors, rude drivers, inconsiderate/ignorant folks being the norm, he better get some brass knuckles and a 50-rd. clip for his assault rifle, cause he's gonna be busy.
I'm getting the hell out. Never did adjust after 8 years.
Have fun!
