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!

GTFO "my" elliptical machine
Sunday morning I went to work out on the elliptical machine at the local gym. The gym is a pretty friendly place, but on Sunday mornings it can get a little crowded.
All the ellipticals are often in use. But people come and go. You can't stay on one of those things forever.
I had 5 minutes remaining on my workout when the young woman from the front desk interrupts me to report there is another member who would like to use the specific elliptical I am on. The attendant tells me the other member has said that I have been on the machine for over 50 minutes which is beyond the limit.
It was also just plain made up fiction.
Pointing to the digital time display I show her I have only 5 minutes remaining, then it will be free.
Hearing this, the other member flies into a public display about how valuable her time is and she shouldn't have to wait. By now, after the outburst, the clock is ticking and I explain I will be off in 2 minutes. When I get off the machine, she announces to everyone how rude and inconsiderate I am.
The attendant apologized profusely and explained this member was adamant that she be given that machine. I explained to her when people behave this way it is in fact possible to turn to them and ask them to be patient for 5 minutes rather than indulging their bad behavior simply cause they are making the biggest scene.
It is not uncommon for your machine of choice to be occupied at the gym. It happens in the city all the time and usually people wait patiently. Somehow out here this person chose to let us know how valuable her time was.
Funny enough, as I finally finished those last 2 minutes, two other machines became available simultaneously. An unpleasant way to start a beautiful Sunday which could have been easily avoided.

Great new short-cut in Springs
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.

Where the wild things are in East Hampton
My husband, daughter and I had just finished seeing a movie in East Hampton over July 4th weekend. We crossed the street and were trying to head back to the parking lot through the pass-through by Starbucks.
Two couples with a gaggle of children all named Aidan, Brayden, and Jayden were standing around chit-chatting while the kids ran around like maniacs pushing and hitting each other. There were about a dozen other people trying to get through the pass through (as the movie just let out) and they just kept on talking, not moving, letting their kids run wild.
As I'm trying to dodge the flying child fists (and avoid them hitting my 3 year old), I finally said, "EXCUSE ME, PLEASE!" and they just looked shocked, and still didn't move.
All of us had to snake our way dodging and weaving through this rude brood.
So annoying!
