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”
