I worked for a utility company before I retired. My work area was from the canal to Montauk.
I was reading a message by the side of the road in Bridgehampton when a Mercedes pulled up and the woman behind the wheel rolled down her window and asked where Mecox rd was.
I told her to go to the end of Halsey lane and Mecox Rd would there. She said no it’s not and I shouldn’t be working for a utility if I didn’t know how to direct her to Mecox Rd. With that she drove off toward Southampton.

I was driving to Sag Harbor for the weekend with a couple of friends.
All of a sudden, a LAMBORGHINI was on my a**…he continually was honking his horn & flashing his headlights.
He drove around me, while continuing to flash his lights/honking his horn… Gave me a BIRD, how sweet!
Where did he think he was??
In Germany, on the AUTOBAHN???

I was driving down main street in Sag Harbor and stopped to let parents who were carrying a baby go across the legal crosswalk.
Suddenly a man (if you want to call him that) in a BMW convertible goes around me and gives me the finger when I honk at him.
By the way, he nearly hit the poor family.
I took his plate # and called the S.H. police to let them know about it.
Sag Harbor needs summer TCO’s to help with their traffic situation on main street and the 6 way stops by the wharf and bridge area. East Hampton has TCO’s everywhere.
Oh, and by the way, if everyone would just stop tailgating there would be no gridlock either.

My son and I were volunteering at a benefit in East Hampton on Sat 8/14 and as we were leaving, I was trying to find my way to main st, via a side street and was pulled over by a rude police office, who claimed I was speeding.
I explained I am not from the area and was trying to find my way out and was not speeding down a side street, he was so rude and gave me a ticket.

It’s the people who leave trash all over the place, or talk really loudly on their cellphones while bumping into you walking on sidewalks or in stores … or the jerk who sat in her huge SUV in the firezone at Waldbaums, blocking the narrow roadway and people from getting their cars OUT of their parking spaces, who shrugged and kept yapping away on her phone when I banged on her windshield.

Ok. This one tops it for me.
While driving west towards town pond in East Hampton, we were passed by a luxurious Mercedes driven by a young chickie. She passed my son after the merge, and cut him off.
Moments later, she plowed into the back of another Mercedes.
Of course I told my son to pull over, so we pulled in behind both vehicles. The elderly man in the first car (also a fancy smancy Mercedes) got out of his car and sat on the grass. I walked over to him, when he gestured at me to go away, and rudely told me that he was okay and didn’t need help.
Thinking he was in shock, I asked if he was sure. He was sure alright.
My son had approached us by this time, and didn’t even have the chance to ask if everyone were okay, when the man told my 17 yr old son to f@*k off.
We retreated back to the car, and the drivers proceeded to get back in their car. The young chippie pulled an illegal u-turn, dented up front end and all, and headed back east. The man took an alternate route.
I guess it doesn’t take too much to surmise that the rude man got plowed into by his own daughter, hence dismissing us and any help. I guess he would rather pay (what appeared to be probably around $30,000 between both cars) for it himself, than to go through his insurance.
Hmmmm, maybe this wasn’t the first time that his wreckless, ding dong daughter (or other close relative) did something this stupid. So much for being the good samaritan, or for teaching our youth what caring about each other is all about. Hmmpf!

This kind of thing has happened a few times.
Today, driving down Neck Path in Springs, I come to a stop at the corner of Neck and Old Stone (market on the corner) to make a left onto Old Stone.
The East End Taxi behind me bombs through the market parking lot to get ahead of me. Not only rude but incredibly dangerous in an active parking area.
