Nothing in the OP indicates that the examples given are exclusive to snowbirds. You my friend witnessed assholes, not snowbirds.
Nope, I’ve been to that store in 100 degree weather. Those assholes are up north, probably bitching about having to pay taxes to educate kids.

Please, I’ve been in Florida in July and those assholes are still there. It’s not limited to age either, there are plenty of young assholes in FL as well, year round. 
You’ve just maligned the parents of a lot of people with your “old douchebags” remark. Kindly go fuck yourself.
But remember, the old people we refer to as snowbirds are the ones who come here and think we should kiss their ass because they’re spending their* New York * money in our lousy state. We already know that things can’t be as nice here as they are up north.
Only if those parents were ACTUALLY douchebags, and even then, he’s not maligning, he’s describing.
It’s frustrating to not only deal with the crotchety population of one’s OWN town, but to have to assume other communities’ problems on an annual basis is a perfectly valid reason for bitching, much like Sturgis or any annual Renaissance fairground.
Get over yourself. And tell Nana to get over herself too.
Being a parent is somehow an excuse for being an asshole? Huh, I had no idea!
Once again, spending money is no excuse for being an asshole-especially if you’re causing potentially dangerous traffic violations. I think people will survive without their business.
This has absolutely nothing to do with the subject, but when I read the wedding anniversary announcements (“The Joe Blowes Celebrate Their 50th”) in the Sunday paper, I would say 9 out of 10 of these couples spend their winters in warm climates.
OH, you guys are talking about American snowbirds! Never mind, then. When I think snowbirds, I automatically think Canadians.
For the record, I depend for my living on snowbirds.
HOWEVER, aren’t they a PITA?
Oh noes, I’ve offended the parents? Well, golly, I didn’t mean to cause any harm, and ya’ see…I’s just playin’ anyway, I’ll just skip back to momma’s house, she probably has some cleanin’ for me to do…
Gah. Seriously? First of all, if you’re a douchebaggy snowbird, you’re probably blissfully unaware of it. Second, if you’re a douchebag of any feather, you’re probably blissfully unaware of it. Third, I still don’t think you got why I don’t think justifying their douchebaggy behavior relative to their monetary contribution to my economy is meaningful in the slightest.
Not all old people are douchebags. Not all snowbirds are douchebags. Do we really have to do this every single time, or is there a club somewhere that gets membership points everytime somebody points stuff like this out?
They should spread their tiny wings and fly away.

A French-Canadian once told me that Florida’s economy would collapse without the yearly infusion of French-Canadian cash. There is a wide spread belief among that particular breed of snowbird that every Floridian is employed in some sort of snowbird service industry that would immediately go bankrupt if French Canadians boycotted us.
We love snowbirds. They pay our taxes.

Why the hell would someone get a handicap placard for being bipolar?
Last summer along the top of Superior (up, round, down, round, up, down, round) I had to work my way through a touring group of really old cars (most were 1914 vintage – some were steamers), but even they were doing better than most convoys of motor homes and airstream trailers that I have had to work past every summer.
Message to Americans touring in northern Ontario: welcome, enjoy your visit, but please pull over when you get a chance.
The difference is, a touring group of really old cars actually sounds cool and something I wouldn’t mind seeing as long as I could pass with ease, while RVs are boring to see and inconvenient to drive around.
Here in California, you can get a placard for missing both hands.
