Animal Cruelty at the Route 27 Mobil Station in Southampton

Friday, July 9th, 2010

On a recent Sunday afternoon I was pulling into the Mobil Station on 27 from the north side of North Sea Road.

The only available pump required me to drive around the store island. As I drove around the island, a blond women in a black, CA registered, beat up, 4 Runner pulled onto the gas station, facing the same problem as I did from the other direction, she had to turn around in order to face the pump. She passed the pump preparing to do a turn around, when I pulled up at the pump just behind her after I drove around the store island.

After she saw me, she rolled down the window and gave me a fine sample of her repertoire of “f” and “a” words. I explained the situation to her, that I arrived at the gas station prior to her and moved on to fill my car. She pulled up behind the car at the pump next to me to start a conversation with the driver of the car in front of her, who quickly recommended to release the German Shepherd which was seated in the backside of her car, all of this while eying me.

Believe it or not, the women opened the door to let her German Shepherd out without a leash.

Fortunately I was done filling up my car at this point and left the gas station thinking how that poor dog must listen to that woman’s foul mouth all the time.

Mexican Standoff Ends In Handicapped Lady Blinking First vs Preppy Boat A-Hole

Friday, June 18th, 2010

I was going to a local pizzeria during a break from work. As I was walking through the parking lot there were two cars stopped bumper to bumper and headlight to headlight.

One of the cars was a jeep liberty occupied by a very elderly handicapped lady.

The other was a Mercedes Benz driven by a forty year old man. He had the classic city boy in the Hamptons uniform on; popped collar polo shirt, shorts, boat shoes, aviator sunglasses, and too much gel in his hair.

They were both staring at each other, I looked at both and walked in between the cars. Obviously one of them was going the wrong way and that made them end up in this stupid situation. Instead of putting his car in reverse and backing out, the forty year old man waited for me to be about a hundred feet away.

He gets out of his car and proceeds to yell at the woman telling her she doesn’t know how to drive.

The old lady put her car in reverse and backed up.

It took all my power not do a one eighty run, the hundred feet, grab this guy by his head, and smash his face on the roof of his car. Lucky for him I have to pass strict background checks for the agencies I am applying to and assault is a disqualifying offense.

Horny Older Woman In Her Lexus - WATCH OUT

Sunday, September 6th, 2009

This was absolutely the CRAZIEST thing I have ever seen a city driver do (I say city because the car was from Lexus of Manhattan).

I was entering Waldbaums when I heard sustained honking growing nearer. I looked around and the perpetrator came into view. An older woman was driving towards the stop sign (really fast actually) and laying on her horn.

I thought “Perhaps a maniac enemy cut her break lines”…

No.

Not at all… because she did slam on her breaks as she neared the stopped car. This was a Friday afternoon and the car was making a left on Newtown… NOT an easy or quick maneuver.

As she is stopped behing him, she CONTINUES to lay on her horn… which is now causing EVERYONE to stop in their tracks and stare. No one could believe it.

The best part was that the person in front of her got really intimidated so they started trying to inch out… so she (barely) passed them on the right, almost ran over a few pedestrians and turned (STILL HONKING).

Now, where were all of those wonderful EH police officers then?

I get pulled over for doing 35 in a 30!

Idiot moonlighting as crossing guard at Bridgehampton Commons

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

Driving through the Bridgehampton Commons parking lot, you (obviously) always have to be on the lookout for pedestrians…especially ones who don’t use the crosswalks.

I was driving past Rite Aid and a woman started crossing. Naturally, I stopped for her to cross. Then, she put her hands up like a crossing guard to stop me and started saying something. Confused, I rolled down my window and asked her if she was talking to me…

She says: “You know, pedestrians have the right of way, especially in this parking lot.” In the absolute rudest tone I’ve ever heard! (and I’ve seen a lot of tourists act particularly rude to people out here)

My daughter, who was sitting in the back seat, and I couldn’t stop laughing while she quickly and angrily walked away.

Come on lady! It’s not like I hit you or even got close to hitting you for that matter. The “especially” in this parking lot? is really the part that I found totally ridiculous. Haha, What?!

Directions to Sagg Main Beach

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

Bonackers ‘givin it back!!!! On Sunday, I witnessed the following exchange on Bridge Lane in Sagaponack:

3 Douchebags in a flashy convertible stop near an old Bonacker and his wife who were crabbing on Sagg Bridge - one of them shouts, “hey, tell us the way to Sagg Main Beach” (by the way, without a “please” or a “Sir, can you help us out”).

Old Bonacker gives them a long drawn-out look and then a snort, and says “OK, first you TURN AROUND AND THEN YOU GO THE HELL BACK WHERE YOU CAME FROM - that’s the way to Sagg Main Beach.”

The look on their faces: Priceless.

Made the end of my Summer!

Bonac duo to the rescue at the Getty Station

Sunday, August 16th, 2009

The Hampton Jitney story had me thinking, and reminded me of an event that occurred the weekend after Memorial Day.  An event that was so unpleasant I didn’t even want to bother typing it out.

My husband and I went to the Georgica Getty Station to get fuel, and since our truck is a diesel we situated ourselves on the outside pump closer to the road.  A citiot was parked on the inside with a black car that had Manhattan plate frames, and since it was a busy day he obviously got boxed in.  Blocking his way was a small girl with her little car, and she backed in in front of him and an attendant started pumping her gas.

When she backed in, the Citiot was getting ready to leave.. so when he realized he was boxed in he came walking right up to her car and started yelling.

“HOW STUPID ARE YOU? I WANT TO GO AND I WANT TO GO NOW! LET ME OUT NOW, YOU STUPID etc etc” The douche yelled into her window and cursing ensued while the poor girl sat inside her car with her hands over her face. My husband was inside paying for our fuel at the time, but since I saw it I was obligated to climb halfway out of my window and let the fellow know “That girl is a LADY!  And if you continue to speak to her that way I will shove that gas nozzle so far up your (ass) you will be tasting gasoline your entire way home to Manhattan!”

Of course I got the usual “You redneck white trash!  This is none of your business!”  so I replied “It’s ALWAYS EVERYONES business when you are verbally attacking a lady who is only half your age if that.  Act an adult, get in your car, and never show your face here again!”

At that point my husband came out and joined me, and heard my words, looked at the girl, looked at the man, and started walking towards him.  He RAN for his car and locked it up, and the guy behind him actually backed up out of his way
so he could back up and get out of there.

Moral of the story: If you see someone doing someone else wrong, and you know it in your gut.. do NOT hesitate to step in, ever.  Yeah, they’ll curse you out and/or tell you to mind your own business… but too many locals are too passive to stand up for themselves when a tourist/second homeowner/anyone else chooses to bully them. It should never be that way.  It feels scary at first, but the satisfaction that comes afterwards is well worth it, especially when you see the gratitude on the victims face.

Stand up, never let these summer people bully you or anyone else. We locals are not submissive servants, we are all humans. Bonackers built this town and we got nothing in return but pain and aggravation. One person deserves just as much respect and backup as the next, no matter how rich or poor.

Stupid Pedestrian Trick in East Hampton

Thursday, August 6th, 2009

Today I was driving Southeast on Newtown.

Traffic was moving, there was a green light and no one in the crosswalk.  As I got to the entrance to the parking lot behind Village Hardware, a woman walks straight out in front of me, and then proceeds to scream at me to slow down because she’s crossing the street!!!

I yelled right back that there’s a “novel invention called the crosswalk” and she should be in it.

She’s glaring at me and tells me that I have to stop for pedestrians - to which I answered “not if you’re not in the crosswalk”.

Seriously???

What IS wrong with these people????
