BOCA RUDETON! Our Regular Look At The Gross People Who Keep Ruining South Florida Life.
BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2026 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — Just as predictable as a war to distract from the Epstein files, those rude, selfish, and self-absorbed people are back — forcing their dogs on people who don’t want them, and parking illegally all over Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, and beyond. Welcome to our latest edition of Boca Rudeton.
We start at Joseph’s Market in Boca Raton, where our tipster calls BS on the people with the dog wearing a pink “service” vest. Service dogs are highly trained animals who provide a service. They’re not traditionally animals that look like pets sniffing a display shelf.
At Palm Beach International Airport, this woman can’t be bothered to see that her dog is on a seat meant for humans. She’s very busy on her phone. The woman also apparently missed all of the signs — and there are many — mandating that animals be kept in a carrier while inside the terminal. We note the “service” leash, ’cause legitimate service dogs sit on furniture.
We move next to the Starbucks at Clint Moore and U.S. 441 in West Boca Raton. As Starbucks continues to fail nationwide, we note that the only people in this once-busy location are people with a “service dog” roaming the store. Again, service animals don’t trend to roam on a long leash. They stay near an owner who it is trained to protect. This dog is clearly on patrol for a seizure-inducing latte.
At “Famous Deli” on Atlantic Avenue in Delray Beach, perhaps this woman seeks her own fame. We’re happy to oblige as we remind our readers that it’s illegal to bring a pet into a market, restaurant, or other location that serves food. Maybe this dog really is highly trained at finding chocolate syrup at a discount.
We head to “The Boys” Farmers Market in Delray Beach where this woman apparently set out to be disgusting. Nothing is better than a dog — illegally in a market — sitting in a cart used by shoppers buying fresh food and produce. Even the dog seems annoyed.
Everyone who reads BocaNewsNow.com knows that Joseph’s Italian Market in Delray Beach is one of the worst offenders when it comes to not enforcing animal laws, so that makes it one of the worst locations to shop if you want to ensure that your food hasn’t been sniffed or licked by a dog. Look no further than the image, above. Not one dog but two! We don’t know if this man is in need of attention or just can’t be seen without his pooches, but our tipsters say it’s sick and gross. We don’t disagree.
Whole Foods in Boca Raton is the next stop on our tour. Here we see a man who apparently believes that Whole Foods is a place to walk a dog. It’s not. It’s a place where people buy food that is marketed as being fresh and healthy. Nothing says ‘fresh and healthy’ like a dog in a market.
Luft’s Fish Market in Boca Raton is where the woman, above, was seen with her dog. Our tipster asks what she was thinking when she brought her dog to a restaurant. We wonder, too.
No, it’s not kosher to bring your dog to Glick’s Kosher market.
No one is ever going to say South Florida bagel shops are fine dining, but many will say that it’s not okay to bring a dog into a location that sells food. Our tipster at Second Street Bagels in Delray Beach said just that, as they wondered why this woman thought it was okay to bring whatever that hairy thing is into the restaurant.
Now to our parking section, where we look at people who seem to be incompetent, or at the very least incapable of operating a car in a parking lot. Our first stop is the Gleneagles Golf Course in Delray Beach, where we see this white Range Rover with Florida plate P87CD parked in two spots.
Back to Joseph’s Italian Market in Delray Beach where the market doesn’t just have a dog problem, it has a parking problem. BMW with Florida plate RIB-N31, maybe learn how to park? You get one spot. Not two.
At the Garden Shops in Boca Raton, this Hyundai with Florida tag RXL-X67 clearly is operated by a driver with issues. Apparently he or she has an issue parking in just one spot.
At Yamato and 441, the driver of this Kia with Florida plate HHR-B58 did something seemingly impossible: park at an extreme diagonal that manages to not only take more than a space, but nearly block-in the Mercedes next to it.
And we can’t comprehend what the driver of this “Admiral Security” vehicle was thinking when he or she parked in both a carpool spot and a handicapped spot at the McDonalds at Congress and Yamato in Boca Raton. Maybe the “security officer” was responding to reports of a guy named “Big Mac” getting into it with the Hamburgler.
The votes are in, now it’s time for a winner. Our judges have tabulated the numbers, counted and recounted (both manually and machine), and came to this conclusion: the woman with the “service dog” leash attached to a dog sitting on a chair at Palm Beach International Airport is this edition’s winner! Congrats! Service dogs are trained to behave and to not sit on furniture. They’re not trained to sniff airport carpet and sit on airport seats. We are pleased to give to her our soon-to-be-published book: “Is that service dog really a service dog?”
