How NOT to ask for directions

Walking down main street in East Hampton (don’t ask me why I was dumb enough to even be near the village after Memorial Day.)

I hear honking and then “Hey, HEY!”. I turn around and see a BMW, with it’s occupants waving at me like they’re on fire. I go over to see the emergency and get “What are you, deaf? How do we get to the Maidstone Club?”

After a second of shock I recovered and sent them to Maidstone Park, as far into Springs as possible. They whipped an illegal U Turn and off to Springs they went.

If you ask a local for directions and actually want to get there, ask them nicely.

    I think I ran into them on Albert’s Landing Rd. I gave them my best shortcut: “Hang a right after Green River Cemetery”

    I never give city people the right directions. I usually tell them to get on 27 and just keep heading west they will find their destination!
