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...

Bag of Weed and a Shiv - An Expecting Couple's Weekend Essentials
I've been waiting for my chance to submit something to you...I see things all the time, but there are so many - and, really, so many so trifling - that I've developed a "Teflon" attitude towards ill-bred behavior. But the scenario I'm about to describe took the cake!
I was visiting my relatives in Remsenberg and had to drive into Westhampton Beach to go to Waldbaum's. (Does that qualify as the Hamptons? It did by name only when I was growning up...While Remsenberg, on the other hand, was much more like old-time Southampton.)
As I was waiting outside over Memorial Day weekend, an Escalade SUV came into Waldbaum's and carefully parked diagonally in 2 spots, the drivers describing his, what he considered valid, reason for doing - so as not to get a scratch on his car.
Shortly thereafter a 90+ yr. old man drove into the lot and because there was no other place to park and because he could squeeze his car in beside the SUV, parked there. While the elderly gentleman was in the Waldbaum's, the Escalade owners (renters? of SUV and "summer share?") came out and "what the F***! Can you believe someone F*ing parked right here?? Slash his F*ing tires!!"
The driver actually slashed the older man's tire, and left. Luckily, there was an off duty cop there, watching everything, and called a dispatcher. The police helped the man change his tire and the police caught the tire slashers.
As it turned out, the "people" in the Escalade had a bag of pot in their possession and one of them kicked it under the police car when they were caught. A witness saw the person do it, and so they were arrested for possession and for tire slashing.
But wait, as if all that's not bad enough, there's more likely to be on the way.
The woman in the Escalade was pregnant!!
God help us all. Summer is definitely here!
