I'm a TCO (traffic control officer) in the village of East Hampton and I live here year round. I probably have tons of stories i could post on here but one comes to mind right now. One day at work I was marking Newtown Ln. (otherwise known as Newton Lane by the tourists) and I marked the tire of a Mercedes. The owner proceeded to come up to me and the conversations went like this....
Owner: "Did you have to do that? I just paid $20 for a car wash."
Me: "Yes I did have to mark your tire"
Owner: "That's ridiculous who told you to mark it?"
Me: "My supervisor"
Owner: "Well that's BS"
At this point I just walked away because I couldn't believe he yelled at me for marking his tire with removable chalk. Aren't your tires made to get dirty?

A Snubbing at Starbucks
Alright, so I'm at the Bridgehampton Starbucks and I'm waiting in line to get my drink, and this woman in a flimsy-looking white sundress that was way too short, complete with large hat and sunglasses proceeds to the counter, completely cutting me off. I proceed to glare at the back of her head, but I don't say anything.
While we're waiting for the baristas to finish up what they were doing she turns around and asks me "Did you order?"
So I say, "No, I'm waiting." She looks at me for a second then just turns around and stays there.
Then, after I get my beverage I sit down to study and her idiot kid proceeds to run around the store screaming.
Nice.

Recent Rude Hamptons Feedback
One site can take care of all the rude people...and then some.

I live in the Hamptons year round, and every summer we're invaded with tourists! Not all of them are bad, but most are arrogent, rude and impatient. It is impossible driving through town because the summer people are impatient and annoying. It would be so much nicer in the summer without the rude summer
people.

Above The Law In East Hampton
So I'm driving out of the Reutershan parking lot at the Main Street exit. The exit is clearly marked right turn only as this street gets completely packed during the summer.
There's a TCO (traffic control officer) right there directing traffic making sure pedestrians aren't run down.
A BMW two cars in front of me proceeds to ignore the sign and drives straight across Main Street.
4 lanes of packed traffic!
The TCO starts yelling at the driver. "You can't do that."
The driver just waves and ignores him.
Too bad TCOs can't writing moving violation tickets or shoot to kill.

Pestilent Man-Child and His Toy Horn
Last night for some unknown, but more than likely important to him, reason a man driving his dark BMW found it necessary to sit on his horn as he drove down Newtown Lane.
Where's a TCO armed with a Tazer when you need them?
