I'm from Florida, but have lived in NC for most my life. The last time I went to Florida I saw a rather muscular man aggressively pumping weights by himself in a home depot parking lot listening to horrible techno music on blast AND NO ONE BATTED A SINGLE EYE. That's what I love about Florida, you can be as weird as you want and people just accept it as facts of life.

It's worth noting that Florida's Sunshine Laws are what make this possible. All government records are available to the public and media immediately after they are recorded. This includes all local, county, and state hearings and arrest reports. This is unique to Florida and provides all these stories. There is a story of a reporter from Ohio who moved to Florida for a new job. During his first week, he made a records request regarding an arrest that had recently happened. After that first single request, he would receive a daily email from the local police with every arrest report from the previous day...this went on for the remainder of his career in Florida.

When I lived in FL there was a well known homeless guy everyone called the dancing bum. He was this hippy looking old guy with long white hair and a cane who would hang out in Tampa at a specific stoplight. When the cars stopped he would dance his heart out with the cane back and forth in front of the cars. All the locals knew him. I don’t remember him asking for money or holding signs, he would just dance his heart out with no music. One of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.

As a former denizen of Florida myself, I saw quite a lot of interesting things during my short tenure in the state. I fondly remember going to Kmart off of the 441 in Hollywood and seeing a man arguing with someone because they didn't have a tee shirt he wanted in his size. I remember him flipping over an entire clothing rack in sheer anger, to my sheer amazement. I remember some lady at the nearby Burger King threatening to stab a cashier because her coupons were expired. There was also the story of the Shenandoah Rapist being persecuted and I think they were looking for him for weeks, I don't remember. This was back in 2006, all I remember was one of my teachers telling me to make sure my doors were locked at night. Oh and there was this one time where this guy was running away from the cops and he ran right past my house. He was arrested four blocks from where I used to live. The guys next door to use tried stealing our Cockatiels and stole the whole neighborhood's Trash cans after Hurricane Wilma, I got into a fist fight with this one kid in middle school because he said he hated my spongebob shirt so he attacked me for no reason and some girls were arrested for indecent exposure down in Miami Beach because they thought playing volleyball with their titties out in the open was a good idea. That was the first time I saw a titty, the best memory of Florida I could have left with. Thaknfully I escaped that post apocalyptic wasteland but my aunts and uncles and cousins live there. One in Tampa, the other in Orlando and the third in Tallahassee, so I'm sure they have more stories than I do. Oh speaking of Orlando, when I was leaving the state I stopped at the Orlando Airport and they have this shuttle service straight to Disney that comes every like two hours or so... and I remember this family of five waiting around and the father was verbally abusing several staff members because their shuttle hadn't arrived yet and he wanted like a refund or something? As if the airport handles that. If it's a Disney shuttle they needed to take that up with the park, but it made my layover that much more interesting. Some kid tried stealing my GBA SP but I had the wrist strap on so he fucked off to the bathroom. Oh and there was a man shitting his brains out in the airport bathroom and screaming bloody murder in there, it was so bad that everyone else left, but I had to stay because my uncle is handicapped and needed help. I tried not dying of laughter with every fart. I feel bad for that man and still feel for him to this day. Those are but a handful of my experiences in Florida. I won't even get into the story of the one guy who tried robbing one of those blood bank donation busses for some reason.

[@MStrohmayne]

What Charlie and the rest of America may not understand about Florida is that the only reason you hear so many stories about Florida is simply because of the extreme transparency of Florida’s public records laws. Therefore, anything bad that happens in Florida, you can find right away and even sign up for updates for. With all the extreme details included in perfect clarity, all for the benefit of every Floridian’s right to know what’s going on in their community. Something the rest of America should look at as something to aspire to honestly.

[@absolutezerochill2700]

Exactly. California is almost certainly worse. What people only notice abt Florida men is that they're wacky. They don't realize that in reality... The crimes they commit are incredibly minor. You would never hear about those things in Cali.

That milk one is actually smart because I work in a place that makes and distributes milk and the amount of milk that spills and doesn’t get put on record because we know stuff happens is insane. So if they had a place that’s lax on the dump counting and missing milk that’s pretty easy to get bobtail drivers to take in a little extra milk and switch later lol. Then have places like Dollar Generals and other small stores like them buy off of you instead. I guess since I work in that area it makes sense more to me but they put their thinking caps on for that one.

[@codyjones2620]

I work commercial construction and have replaced most the loading docks for the semi trucks at a highland dairy and Belfonte . Can confirm the amount of waste is insane.

I saw a really cool breakdown by Legal Eagle about the formation of the Florida man mythos and its origin in the very loose public records laws in Florida. So basically any police reports etc, even fresh ones, are available en masse to the media, leading to greater proliferation of particularly weird stuff that the media in other states wouldn't have unfettered access to. I still think there's something in the air in Florida, and I mean besides 99% water content.
