Tonight (Saturday the 28th).
In East Hampton.
At the intersection of Newtown Lane and Main Street.
A big boo-hoo to the idiot chick in the huge SUV who honked, rolled down her window, and yelled at walkers crossing WITH THE BLINKING WHITE WALK SIGN that we were in HER WAY to make a right turn on red!?
Yay for the well-dressed glamorous ladies who beat me to the punch (so-to-speak) and yelled back to READ THE LIGHTED SIGNS!
Another one for the Rude Hamptons website. Grrrrrrrr.

You Ask And We Won't Tell You Policy at Loaves and Fishes
On my way to Sagg Main Beach, I wandered into Loaves and Fishes and asked the old(ish) lady behind the counter how much a particular goat cheese was.
"Why would you want to know?" was the response.
Sufficeth it to say I'm never shopping there again, but I may very well have an accident with a carton or two of eggs there one of these days.

Funeral Pyres On The Beach and Squatters
My beef is the folks who feel it is OK to sit on top of you and your things at the beach.
I recently found a nice "hole" where I would not be too close to the other beachgoers. Not 5 minutes later a family arrived and set up their chairs right in front of me.
They were so close that one of their children actually commented, "Mom, aren't we too close to these people?" Of course the mom said, "No!" and sat down.
But even worse was the evening I was at the beach enjoying sandwiches and salads with my husband when a large family - possibly a reunion - arrived. They did set up their chairs, etc, a decent distance away, but then sent one of the boys to dig a hole for a beach fire. The child started digging about 3 feet behind my chair.
When his mom came over to check out his work - he hadn't done much yet - and tell him dinner was ready, I asked them to please dig a little further away.
Of course I got another "No!"
Not too long after, they actually lit that fire just a few feet from my chair.
What is wrong with people?

Volunteer, Get Lost, Get A Ticket
My son and I were volunteering at a benefit in East Hampton on Sat 8/14 and as we were leaving, I was trying to find my way to main st, via a side street and was pulled over by a rude police office, who claimed I was speeding.
I explained I am not from the area and was trying to find my way out and was not speeding down a side street, he was so rude and gave me a ticket.

Entitled Navigator Gets A Twofer
I had to go to Waldbaums in Southampton to pick up a few items on Friday. I like to park in the spots near the wall where there are two handicapped spots and about 5 regular spots.
I go to pull into a spot and see there is ginormous Lincoln Navigator (in black of course) deliberately parked over the line to take up two spots. I checked to see if there was a handicapped sticker on the car, because I can understand someone with a wheelchair needing to take the two spots.
Of course, I didn't find one. Luckily, I was able to find a blank piece of paper in my car and left a nice note for the driver of the Navigator that read, "Learn how to park."
When I returned to my car I saw the Navigator had gone, and seemingly took my note along with it, just in case it forgot how to park in the future.
