Life in Florida is pretty interesting, to say the least. Popular for its beaches, oranges, and sunshine, it’s also known for its odd citizens, who make the daily far from dull. A man or woman seen taking a parrot for a motorcycle ride, kissing an alligator, or walking barefoot in a supermarket are just a few tame examples of how normal living looks like in the Sunshine State.Our team at Bored Panda has carefully collected even wilder instances of Floridians being Floridians in the list below. While you’re perusing through, don’t forget to upvote the ones that don’t seem real, and be sure to share your own experiences in the comments.

I've only met one, decades before Karens were a thing. But she did borrow money from me and my boss that she never repaid, emptied out my treats drawer at work (it was stuffed with drinks and snacks, everyone welcome, but no one else scoffed 80+ items in a fortnight) and then picked fights with us once she had the money and eaten all the snacks.

    If you would take a second to Google ‘Florida man’ or ‘Florida woman’ (an Internet fad that appeared around 2013), you’d get a handful of crazy headlines and stories from the state popping up. At the moment of writing, the results of this include:

    1. “Florida man faces charges for eluding police”
    2. “Florida man allegedly injures endangered great white heron at state park”
    3. “Florida man among 3 arrested in 'multi-state stolen vehicle conspiracy’”
    4. “Florida woman accused of animal cruelty in Chicago”

    From this, we can see that Florida has quite a colorful reputation and characters, aka the Florida men and women. This isn’t necessarily singling out one person for making headlines due to their odd behavior but rather generalizing the trope of all the Sunshine State.

    Netizens even started a ‘Florida man’ challenge, in which they Googled ‘Florida man’ and their birthday to see what crazy news happened in Florida on the day they were born. For example, on my birthday, a random Floridian was doing yard work naked, proving that there’s a wild story about the state for every day of the year.

    The biggest question you might be asking yourself right now is, what is in the water of Florida that generates so many bizarre stories? Well, one theory that could explain it is the very big and even more diverse population of the Sunshine State.

    It’s the third most populated state in the US, inhabiting more than 22.61 million people in 65,758 square miles (170,310 km²). And that’s without the 140.6 million individuals who paid it a visit in 2023.

    Stumpy. Best guess is he's about 100, maybe 110 years old. He's nicknamed 'stumpy' because one of his legs lacks any claws or a 'hand' on it. No one is quite sure HOW he lost it, or exactly when, but the best guess is that when he was a wee gator, another larger gator bit it off. Yes, Gators can be cannibalistic. Whatever the case, he just wanders across the golf course every so often, and tends to just lounge out sunning himself. No one really bothers him, other than tourists who hound him with cameras. Which tend to prompt him standing up and limping off to his favorite pond to hide in.

    You don't just see this in Florida. It's called a 'coffin trailer', and they're actually rather popular among a niche group. Specifically you see these turn up at car and bike shows. I had one I pulled behind my pickup, and making them isn't overly hard. You simply purchase a coffin shell (the metal ones are cheaper), that lacks any of the springs or satin inside the coffin. Then, you partition it off to have one part for storage, and the other half for a cooler. They look really neat when pulled behind trucks, and will often earn you extra points at the car shows. Considering that at some of the larger shows, you could potentially earn several thousand dollars if you place first, second, or third... well any niche thing you do to get the judge's attention helps.

    From Autoblog, August 3, 2020: "Here’s something you don’t see every day: A man clinging to the hood of a semi truck, bashing the windshield with his fists and head as it drives 9 miles along the Florida Turnpike, captured in a viral video from a passing motorist. Reports say the man was taken to a local hospital for a 72-hour evaluation. It happened Saturday afternoon on the toll road in Palm Beach County. According to local reports, an unidentified man was driving on the freeway with a male passenger in a ToyotaSUV when the man began acting strangely and stopped the vehicle on the exit ramp to Boynton Beach. He then exited the vehicle, walked along the highway and then hopped the concrete divider in the median onto the northbound side of the turnpike."

    (cont.) "When traffic slowed, he then jumped onto the hood of a semi rig and began striking the windshield with his hands and his forehead. Oddly, the driver of the tractor trailer just kept driving instead of stopping. The video shows the truck driver yanking the wheel back and forth and abruptly braking in an apparent attempt to get the man off his hood. At one point, the man turns to the passing car filming him, repeatedly screaming, “Call the police!” The person who recorded the video said the man also used a metal object to break the windshield. There are no reports of injuries, and no indication of why the man hopped on the semi’s hood. A Highway Patrol trooper eventually caught up with the semi and took the man into custody, his hands and head bloodied from bashing the glass."

    Not sure about this. In my younger years, in those hot Germany summers, lot of people would walk barefoot. To the pool, even to school (though you had to wear shoes in class). I mean, that's what our feet evolved for. You return home, you wash them, it's fine. Do you think the shoes you stepped into dog s**t with are more hygienic?

    I see this all day every day. I live in one of the reddest counties in Florida. Our sheriff has a visible NRA tattoo. It gets really old sharing existence with these people. Conservatism is a mental disorder. Not a policy position.

    Heh. This kind of thing does tend to pop up from time to time, but it's not hard to understand if you have even a single working brain cell. The turn signal is for the turning lane the person is in. The sign is to warn that there is no left turn allowed in the private parking lot road that the little concrete island is in, because the exit (cropped out in the image here) from a restaurant, is right there and is a one way only exit.

    Why would that be unique to Florida? We have produce truck accidents all the time. There was a truck load of potatoes turned over in front of the factory I worked at in the 70s. The little old ladies bailed off their machines and ran out to fill their aprons with the rolling bounty in the road.

    The owner/wife of a plant I worked in would have done that. She used to hide vodka in the toilet tank in the ladies room until one of the women on the line found it and got hammered at work.

    That's not a winter coat. And, if you need a coat at 60f you should probably cut back on your liquor consumption.

    For those wondering, prior to a hurricane, it's not uncommon to see people wrapping their cars in plastic and trying to seal them. This is because the state is pretty much flat, and so when a hurricane hits, it floods. By doing this, you can often prevent flood damage to a vehicle.
