Just got back from seeing Colin Quinn in Long Story Short at Guild Hall.
What a great performance especially for the Hamptons. Colin provides some hilarious insight into the human psych and it's highly applicable to the rude behavior out here.
If you have time, check him out.

Watch out for land mines at Main Beach
It's come to our attention that some really rude behavior is happening down at Main Beach.
Yes, the Main Beach that's the number four best beach in America.
Apparently there are people walking their dogs in the early morning and late evening and not cleaning up after them. That leaves everyone else to fend for themselves.
We're wondering if any solid citizens could go and take some photos or video of this happening and we'll post them here. Let's leverage public shame as a tool against the illegal dumpers.

Yo Adrian...check out this outdoor ring
Hearing from a reliable source that down in Springs there are backyard boxing matches being held on a regular basis. In a clearing behind a house the spectators line up and two dudes punch each other to a bloody finish.

Calling the 2011 Summer
It’s officially spring and what I’m wondering is what will the 2011 Hamptons summer season bring from a rudeness rating?
Right about now the renters are taking their tours with realtors to find their dream rental home and the owners are getting their estates all gussied up.
Realtors please share your stories.
Will the reports of rudeness will beat last year?
We’ve got more bumper stickers waiting for you to share your story with us.

Paranoid Profiling Employees in the Emporium
On a snowy December morning I rushed to The Emporium in Sag Harbor to get a part for a failed toilet. The store had not opened on time and I had to wait outside with other customers.
I was looking in the plumbing department for the needed part and noticed that the help was carefully avoiding offering to help me. I continued my search and heard from behind me one of the young gentlemen employed there saying loudly, "I'm going for coffee" then refering to me in the other aisle he said, "watch him," like I was some kind of potential thief.
After he left I found the part I was looking for and went to pay. A teenage boy was at the counter with an embarrassed look on his face and I said to him, "I was offended by the comment 'watch him' when he should have said 'can I help you?'"
This group of youthful employees are rude and have an "attitude" when it comes to being helped. This is not the first time I have observed this in this store. In all fairness, I must say that another employee did go out of his way to help me at another time but the general feeling I get in this store is disdain for the customers.
I am an East End retailer and would never treat my customers this way. I grew up in Sag Harbor and I think the young employees of this store need an attitude adjustment. They are not even a shadow of the old Emporium or Barry's Hardware.
