Blind spots on Three Mile Harbor road

Wednesday, July 13th, 2011

A number of years ago, this was the rudest thing that happened to me and my husband.

We were at the intersection of Springs Fireplace Road and Three Mile Harbor road when a large suv swung in on our right and purposely blocked our view so we couldn’t see if any traffic was coming down Three Mile Harbor road. He sat there for at least 4 or 5 minutes so we just took our chance and pulled out onto the road.

We didn’t dare challenge him as there are so many crazies out there.

Wear your pee pants to see Colin Quinn at Guild Hall

Saturday, June 11th, 2011

Just got back from seeing Colin Quinn in Long Story Short at Guild Hall.

What a great performance especially for the Hamptons. Colin provides some hilarious insight into the human psych and it’s highly applicable to the rude behavior out here.

If you have time, check him out.

Watch out for land mines at Main Beach

Sunday, June 5th, 2011

It’s come to our attention that some really rude behavior is happening down at Main Beach.

Yes, the Main Beach that’s the number four best beach in America.

Apparently there are people walking their dogs in the early morning and late evening and not cleaning up after them. That leaves everyone else to fend for themselves.

We’re wondering if any solid citizens could go and take some photos or video of this happening and we’ll post them here. Let’s leverage public shame as a tool against the illegal dumpers.

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…

Lifeguards help pigs in addition to saving people in East Hampton

Friday, September 3rd, 2010
This just happened this morning at my favorite beach in East Hampton.
I was down at the beach for an early morning walk, then went over to the outdoor shower to rinse myself off.
In front of me was a man, who was locked in the shower stall with his small and very hairy dog, and he proceeded to spend 15 minutes in there - washing and de-fleaing his dog!!! He pulled clump after clump of thick, smelly dog fur and just threw it on the floor of the shower, including covering the drain with the thick balls of fur mottled with fleas.
After they finally emerged, I went into the shower, picked up a clump of the wet dog fur and shouted over to the man “hey dude, you forgot something in here!”
I walked over and tried to hand him the clump of dog fur, and he looked horrified and refused to take it and asked me what MY problem was!
I said the problem was actually his, because he was using a shower made for people to rinse off from the beach, not dogs, and that he left the shower in disgraceful condition.
All he did was shrug and say that “someone will come & clean it up, they do every day” - and when I asked who he thought “they” were, he said “the Lifeguards, right?”
I thought the lifeguards were there to save lives and provide emergency assistance, but according to this douchebag Lifeguards are really there to clean the showers after pigs like him use it

Challenged Chick Challenges Pedestrian Right Of Way

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

Tonight (Saturday the 28th).

In East Hampton.

At the intersection of Newtown Lane and Main Street.

A big boo-hoo to the idiot chick in the huge SUV who honked, rolled down her window, and yelled at walkers crossing WITH THE BLINKING WHITE WALK SIGN that we were in HER WAY to make a right turn on red!?

Yay for the well-dressed glamorous ladies who beat me to the punch (so-to-speak) and yelled back to READ THE LIGHTED SIGNS!

Another one for the Rude Hamptons website. Grrrrrrrr.

Funeral Pyres On The Beach and Squatters

Monday, August 30th, 2010

My beef is the folks who feel it is OK to sit on top of you and your things at the beach.

I recently found a nice “hole” where I would not be too close to the other beachgoers. Not 5 minutes later a family arrived and set up their chairs right in front of me.

They were so close that one of their children actually commented, “Mom, aren’t we too close to these people?” Of course the mom said, “No!” and sat down.

But even worse was the evening I was at the beach enjoying sandwiches and salads with my husband when a large family - possibly a reunion - arrived. They did set up their chairs, etc, a decent distance away, but then sent one of the boys to dig a hole for a beach fire. The child started digging about 3 feet behind my chair.

When his mom came over to check out his work - he hadn’t done much yet - and tell him dinner was ready, I asked them to please dig a little further away.

Of course I got another “No!”

Not too long after, they actually lit that fire just a few feet from my chair.

What is wrong with people?
