Stupid Pedestrian Trick in East Hampton

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????

New Asshat SUV driving technique spotted in Wainscott

A new and very dangerous driving technique employed by a massive SUV at the stoplight in Wainscott :

SUV is fourth in line at light.

Light turns green.

SUV pulls out of line into left turn lane and floors it and goes straight and becomes first in line of traffic.

Best part of this -  SUV ends up behind huge slow moving truck.

Priceless !

Tomatoes, chicken salad, flowers, and cookies might be priceless

What is really rude in the Hamptons is the audacity of the prices charged at Round Swamp Farm in East Hampton.

For $ 66.08, I bought 3 tomatoes, 3 small containers of chicken salad, a bouquet of local flowers, and 5 cookies.

Never again !!!!!

It's widely accepted that Round Swamp isn't the cheapest place to shop, but much of the product is local - The Editor

Good Thing She Doesn't Want Half A Puppy

Someone shared this story with me in the village today:

I'm in the pizza parlor and I watch an older lady with kid walk upto the counter and orders half a slice of pizza. She only has $1.97 on her and wants only half a slice.

The pizza guy tells her, "sorry we don't sell half slices, you can buy a whole one."

She replied, "I only have $1.97."

Pizza guy, "well you can buy a whole slice on your credit card."

She replied, "I don't want to charge it."

This goes on four times as she keeps coming up and asking. The Pizza Guy finally breaks down.
