Citizens on patrol in Southampton

Thursday, July 7th, 2011

About 6 yrs ago, my husband who is a volunteer fireman, while camping at Coopers Beach attending the Southampton muster.

This little old lady with her VW bug was turning around in the parking lot. She hit a truck, hit the same truck again in her attempt to turn around and was about to leave the parking lot. So a bunch of us decided to stand in front of her car so she couldn’t leave.
She told us that “she was late for her tennis lesson” and wanted to leave.

We just waited for the police to arrive and the owner of the truck to arrive as we stood in front of her car so she couldn’t leave!

So that was my “Rude in the Hamptons” Story

Is that poop on your white pants?

Thursday, October 28th, 2010

When my daughter was younger (14 now) we were walking down Main St in SH. She had her weekly treat of an ice cream cone from the Fudge Factory (her fave store).

As we were walking there was a line of “tourists” coming at us and you think someone would move aside as not to bump into her but ran right into her and you gu…essed it, wound up wearing the ice cream cone (chocolate on white). They got really upset but I just said “next time watch where you are going and you won’t have a big brown spot on your pants.

Then said have a nice day and walked away. (you think they would have offered to buy a replacement for a crying 6yr old) The nerve of some people.

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…

Friday, September 10th, 2010

I was at the Driver’s Seat in Southampton and some guy had his little dog and was told to take the dog away, he said it was an ‘aid dog’, yea right.

An his wife complained how ‘hard’ the tomatoes were. I thought they were great.

Soup Nazi’s Brother Caught Buying Soup in Southampton

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

I am glad I am not the only one who is offended by this prevalent & increasing rudeness.

Here’ my most recent story.

I was in Southampton in the Health Food Store. A man infront of me had bought soup. He paid in cash, got his change and asked for a spoon.

The cashier handed him a spoon and he said, “Are your hands clean?”

She looked puzzled and he continued, “Have you washed your hands?”

She answered, ”Yes…”

I’m thinking he’s just handled US currency and he’s worried about his spoon…

Entitled Navigator Gets A Twofer

Friday, August 27th, 2010

I had to go to Waldbaums in Southampton to pick up a few items on Friday. I like to park in the spots near the wall where there are two handicapped spots and about 5 regular spots.

I go to pull into a spot and see there is ginormous Lincoln Navigator (in black of course) deliberately parked over the line to take up two spots. I checked to see if there was a handicapped sticker on the car,  because I can understand someone with a wheelchair needing to take the two spots.

Of course, I didn’t find one. Luckily, I was able to find a blank piece of paper in my car and left a nice note for the driver of the Navigator that read, “Learn how to park.”

When I returned to my car I saw the Navigator had gone, and seemingly took my note along with it, just in case it forgot how to park in the future.
