Run into Country Gardens Farmstand to buy some last minute things for dinner.
A lady is pondering over strawberries while her four year old son eats almost a whole carton of raspberries. She doesn’t say anything to her son to make him stop eating them.
She buys only the strawberries, leaving the carton of raspberries behind, on the shelf, half eaten.

They would have had to pay extra money to get extra walnuts and extra strawberries on their $12 salad.
They didn’t want to pay the extra money-they just wanted what they wanted even though the guy insisted “it’s not about the money, it’s about the principle.”
SO, because they couldn’t get what they wanted for free (extra walnuts and extra strawberries for no extra money), they decided to “toilet paper” the bathroom walls (college style–you know–wet the stuff well and them slap it on the walls).
We’re talking 2.00pm on the first sunny Saturday in June on Newtown Lane!
So I take it this is the behavioral example of a person of morals, values and strong principles?

While we normally just track rudeness in the Hamptons, a friend in our quest has been Guest Of A Guest. How nice it was to see Rachelle Hruska and her GOG team make the NY Times Sunday edition.
Congratulations!

Just this past weekend, I happened to be with three friends walking in town, remarking how even bad weather draws out the tourists these days to our dislike. We separated momentarily, I wanted to see if a local store had a gift for one of my friends I was with, and I alone was witness to a remarkable conversation between two young tourists.
Tourist #1: I just adore coming out to the Hamptons.
Tourist #2: I know, I’m enjoying it so much, that I think I might be able to last here for an entire month!
Tourist #1: No! Really?
…
Try lasting here for your entire life. One month…really…?

My friends and I were driving down Dune road in my Jeep Wrangler playing Billy Joel
Some snotty city girls walking down the street gave us dirty looks and said, “what is that music?”
Please don’t come to Long Island if you dont know who Billy Joel
In addition to that the Southampton police gave us a ticket for noise, Billy Joel
ughh hate these city people!

Usually I do not like to stereotype tourists out here. I grew up out here and know that some tourists are nice and some locals are jerks. Just like all populations, there are always a few bad apples.
I’m getting really annoyed though. Yesterday I was on the wharf in Sag Harbor when I watched as 4 twentysomethings parked their car in an area that not only was not a parking spot but also was an obstacle to cars trying to leave the
wharf.
Now, most people would have realized from the honking and astonished stares that SOMETHING just wasn’t right here. Nope, they get out and start to walk away. I decide to say (nicely too, giving them the benefit of th doubt that they didn’t realize their error) “Hey, that isn’t a parking spot” which they laugh at and keep walking.
WTF? I hope their car got a ticket and a boot. Just because this is the ’country’ doesn’t mean you can break the law. Some people here have jobs and places to be, have some respect!
