Puppy Poop and Profanities In Your Own Backyard

Tuesday, September 28th, 2010

I have a story for you.

Last weekend (Labor Day Weekend) my husband was outside in our yard walking our 10 week old puppy. Of course, like puppies do, he peed and pooped.

A car came screaming down our short dead end road, turned around in MY driveway, then had the nerve to stop and ask my husband if he was going to ”clean” up after his dog.

Ummmm, 1st off, it’s our yard, of course we are. 2nd, it’s none of your business.

The passenger in the car proceeded to YELL at my husband because he said, “It’s my yard, it’s ok.”

She screamed profanities at my husband and then had the nerve to ask, “is this what you teach your son?” (oh, yeah, my 8 year old son was outside to).

They then sped off down the road. We then decided to take a walk only to run into this obnoxious couple forcing other people to hurry up and get up from a table in front of the Golden Pear in Bridgehampton. My husband just smiled at them and said “have a good day.”

Some people are so rude.

Hamptons Driving Guide

Sunday, September 26th, 2010

I work for a reputable company and I travel alot between the “Hamptons” from Remsemburg to Wainscott.

I’ve seen the worst of the worst.

Remsemburg, people with their “25 mph slow down Remsemburg” bumper stickers driving 45 on Main street and then yelling and cursing at me because I’m doing…yes you guessed it…25mph…

Next up is Westhampton/Westhampton Beach…yes it is a Hampton and I actually live in WHB…there’s numerous things I can write here…from the bikers on Dune road to the people not knowing how to park on Main street…yes the Waldbaums has the worst parking lot ever…

Yo the “dog morning walkers” taking up all of Main street…

Next is Quogue…please pull over to the side of the road when you’re on your little bike rides…I’m trying to work - driving everywhere and you’re riding your bike in the middle of the street doesn’t help me…

Seriously do I need to talk about Southampton or East Hampton hahaha…

Anyways you get my point…these citiots need to learn how to drive when they come from the city to visit their summer weekend homes…if it wasn’t for these people I wouldn’t have a job..but please work with us people..were just trying to work out there…

Privateers take to the roads in Sag Harbor

Wednesday, September 15th, 2010

The hurry that people have while driving still makes me crazy with Hamptons drivers.

This weekend I had the pleasure of being passed while doing 30 in a 25 in the middle of town on Sagg road/Madison street.

To the middle age idiot driving the vet, your car sucks so much, please we are not impressed.

Now for the Audi A7 who blew the stop sing at Main and Madison then honked and flipped me off, his wife did too.

First off, very classy, second perhaps a course in drivers ed would do you some good.

When you have a stop sign here is a hint, stop.

When the on coming lane has the right away, let them go.

Flooring your car, driving at them and flipping them off while you honk shows you have no idea how to drive or read road signs.

As for the rude girl next to you, f-off, your fat.

Horses’ Asses Among The Guests At The Hampton Classic

Tuesday, September 14th, 2010

So my husband and I decided to take a trip out to the Hampton Classic on Saturday so that our son can take part in the Kid’s Day activities.

We knew going in that there would be snooty people, elitists, and citiots, but we wanted to check it out and at least put the experience of going under our belt.

I think next year there should be a etiquette seminar for those in the aforementioned categories.

Of course, the most efficient means to get from point A to point B is a straight line, however, if such a route is blocked by a perpendicular line (points C and D) of people waiting at a food kiosk, the common sense approach would be to say “excuse me” when you opt to take advantage of the 2 foot break between person 5 and person 6 who are standing on the point C and point D line.

After about the 5th non-gracious offender anytime a person attempted to bust their way through, I put my foot in the way.

Amex Black Card Holders Poor Patrons and Tippers

Monday, September 13th, 2010

Try working in a restaurant all summer and dealing w/ these people and they are still here!

They send everything back because they don’t want to pay for it and then hand you an American Express Black card and tip next to nothing!

Victoria’s Secret Isn’t So Secret in Bridgehampton

Sunday, September 12th, 2010

Why do some people think it’s ok to go out in public in their pajamas?

So, I was in line at Rite Aid in Bridgehampton last night, repulsed by a lady in her well-worn pajamas and bedroom slippers.

It’s obvious she has not changed out of them in days and just threw on a funky hoodie.

It is rude to mingle in public places in your intimate clothing, period.

WTF is up with that?

Saturday, September 11th, 2010

I have witnessed some pretty rude treatment of our animal friends in the Hamptons:

You wouldn’t put your toddler or best friend in the back of an open pickup truck….why put your dog in that kind of danger?

How about the guy who ran into my vet’s office with his injured dog who said he put his dog in the back of the truck and the dog saw a squirrel and jumped out. (duh) Instinct will take over.

Imagine when you stop suddenly and your dog flies out of the truck, or worse, you run over your own dog.

I’ve heard of that happening. It’s called centrifical force.

How about when people leave their dogs to bake in an oven called their car?

Anyone noticed the carnage on the road? There is a lot of animal traffic on our roads.  Where’s the fire? Slow down folks, these are country roads.

Is it just me or is there a tailgating epidemic these days.

I work in a retail store and we have our very own reality show out the window.

One of the many rude things we witness regularly are the folks who pull up and park in the handicapped space and then get out and walk away looking perfectly healthy.

Not cool.

One day recently two customers came in and said that someone had purposely hit their car to keep them from getting into a parking space.

Then there’s the guy who owns his very own traffic cone and uses it to save himself a parking spot.

We also had a customer who said that if we didn’t immediately produce a missing part to the chair he bought he would throw it through our glass storefront.

My friendly farm stand guy says that people pull up right in front of the door, blocking everyone else from entering and shout out to him from the window without getting out, “Gimme this and gimme that.” They expect him to go to and from the car to deliver the fruits and vegetables and collect money and then return with change.

Ever notice people literally standing dangerously close to the road (with their kids) to feed the swans in the East Hampton pond?

Is it just me or does common sense go out the window?
