WTF is up with that?

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?

Who’s Really In The Driver’s Seat?

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.

Biker Gets Citidiot Escort Down Bluff Road

September 10th, 2010

Two days ago me and my dad had come back from a long day of surfing, some lady was on Bluff road in Amagansett in the middle of the road on her bike.

My dad gave the car in front of us a little honk. Then we noticed that the car was with the biker, we where stuck behind them all the way to the skate park.

City people suck, can’t wait for school and cityidots to leave.

Wannabe Escalade Pickup Passes On the Left Hand Side

September 9th, 2010

So, I’m driving to work this morning on Route 27 as I do every day from the monument in Bridgehampton going East.

Usually everyone is very careful to abide by the 20mph speed limit as they pass the Bridgehampton School.

Not today… a guy in his Escalade pickup honks and point at the upcoming 30 mph sign and then passes me on the left, crossing over the double yellow line. He speeds ahead (while on his cellphone) and I get a thrill when I catch up to him seconds later, at a dead stop at the red light.

Seriously, what’s the point?

Who asked who for directions

September 7th, 2010

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.

Lifeguards help pigs in addition to saving people in East Hampton

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
