Potential Extreme Dune Rudeness to be examined
December 25th, 2008Looks like the Town of East Hampton is going after the alleged dune clearing at Ron Baron’s estate.
Happy Holidays!
Don’t let the door hit you on your way out with your fiber smoothie, citidot!
December 7th, 2008I will say I have been living out in the Hamptons for about 25 years now. Is it just me or every year do the citiots get stupider?
They do not know how to drive, which many people have already stated so I guess another stupid driver story is as necessary as another Louie Bag Toting Starlet wannabe infesting the area. But I will say the best to date is the follows:
I work in Amagansett and I was going to Mary’s Marvelous to grab my coffee and oatmeal as I do every morning - granted in the summer you want to chew on a bullet than wait on line behind someone trying to pick out their smoothie selections but they really do have such a great staff and great food so you smile and grit your teeth - I was walking with a co-worker behind a couple who was discussing how the locals are so rude etc. and how we think that we are better than they are… blah blah blah WHILE they are having this intriguing discussion I guess they did not realize that they cut off a woman with her stroller trying to get up the stairs.
The man made it look like he was going to open the door for her (which is why we didn’t ) His mate then walked in BEFORE the woman and the STROLLER and instead of holding the door for her - HE WALKED IN AND LET THE DOOR SLAM!!!!
We were in disbelief - grabbed the door helped her with the stroller and get in the door. When we got in the couple was still complaining of the locals. Ahh how much longer until Columbus day??????
Thanks for letting me vent!

Do You Have A Problem?
September 1st, 2008I’m driving out of Citarella, via the exit as one should. As I’m pulling out and making sure I don’t run anyone over on the sidewalk in rolls a giant SUV.
Waving my hands, Captain America rolls down his window and says, “What’s your problem?”
“You’re coming in the exit,” I respond comely.
Captain America responds, “Do you expect me to drive around the corner?”
Next time I’m going to put the car in park and call the cops. Enough is enough!

How to Recession Proof Your Coffee Shop Business
August 31st, 2008Saturday Aug 30. Labor Day Weekend.
I go into Java Nation like I’ve been doing pretty much every day. I know everyone that works there & has worked there. I have a thermos which grants me a small discount on a cup of coffee there.
Every day it’s $1.00, regardless of who’s working.
But today one of the owners (pretty obvious which one since the other one is cool as shit) told me $1.75. I actually had only brought four quarters with me, so I had to bring up the discrepancy.
The owner got mad with me about disputing the price & took my coffee out of my hand & tossed it into the sink, handed me back my empty thermos, & yelled GET OUT & pointed to the door.
I really wasn’t going to force the issue and was about to ask her if I can bring her the 75 cents next time, since I’m in there everyday but by that time she was already wasting my coffee down the sink.
My suggestion is f*ckin hire somebody so she don’t have to be behind the counter cuz that sh!t isn’t working.

Bitch, Party of Seven
August 29th, 2008My wife and I head to a local restaurant tonight to enjoy a nice end of the summer dinner. In we go and we’re behind a lady and five of her small children. We’re probably talking under eleven years old.
Momma asks the hostess if their table is ready.
No table under her name, the hostess reads off all the parties of seven waiting. No luck.
“Well my husband put his name in and you said to come back in 10-15 minutes.”
“Oh yes now I remember, that was at 6:25, it’s 7:10, sorry we had to give your table away. I can put your name back in but it’s a 45 minute wait for a party of that size.”
“Bitch” says momma as she walks out with her family.

Even the Rude Hamptons Editor Can Be Rude
August 28th, 2008A while back I got an email saying RheRudeHamptons editor loved my story about the idiot in Hess (the bottle opener she wanted to “borrow”) and offered me a bumper sticker. Although I have seen these bumper stickers around, like la superica,etc.,
I never got mine.
Is that rude, or what?

Yes it slipped through the cracks, but rest assured three bumper stickers are in the mail tomorrow. - The Editor
Yes really means no in the Hamptons
August 27th, 2008TO ALL of my Hamptons fair-weather friends……
I just want you to know that I think it was so incredibly rude that most of those who were invited did not show up at my boyfriends birthday bash this past weekend. I am wondering why people think it’s socially acceptable to say “I’ll try/will do my best to make it” when invited to a party! This is what so many people said even though I called them 3 weeks in advance. OK, I know, it’s the Hamptons and on August weekends there are zillions of things to do. We all know you guys are keeping your options open so that if something better comes along, you will certainly attend that instead of our party, but optimistically we still planned for just about everyone to come. (Unless there is some formula or rule of thumb for Hamptons parties that we just don’t know about?????)
How about this next time: upon being invited to a party, unless you give a firm and resolute YES, why not instead say “I just can’t make it”. Period. And if nothing better comes along, you can then show up at our party - hey, surprise us - and be gracious and bring a bottle. This way we don’t get stuck with food for 60 when only 20 show up, and get stuck with the enormous cost of the food, booze and two helpers like we just were. Better to be short on food but have enough booze for these non-committal types, huh!
PS: For my next party - it’s a bag of chips and a jar of salsa. Expect nothing else but I will never skimp on the booze. Hey, we have enough liquor now for 3 more parties, I am trying to look at the bright side of things!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
