I find most nice people in the western part of the state, places like Coventry, West Greenwich, Exeter, Foster, Hopkinton and Gloster. Also, Tiverton and Little Compton in the east has very nice people. This is my honest answer as I find most city folk a little harsh at times.

Was thinking the same. I'm always at the speed limit or 5-10 over and there's always somebody on my ass. People just wanna do 30mph and somehow that's the right thing 🙄. I generally stay out of the left lane anyways because I don't have to drive fast, I leave with time to get where I need to go. Protip: Leave yourself enough time and you don't need to speed. 🤷‍♀️

i find furniture options in RI pretty limited. there's a sameness to it all. when i moved to my current home i happened to have a trip to nyc and went furniture shopping there. while pricey, these are things i'll more or less have for the rest of my life.

I don’t camp in the left lane, and I will freely admit that it can be frustrating to get stuck behind a slower moving vehicle; however, if you’re encountering vehicles so frequently in the left lane that you feel the need to plead with them online to move over, perhaps it’s time to slow down a bit.

Speeding is arguably a worse offense than camping in the left lane. (Citations for speeding start higher than those for not driving in the rightmost lane, and they stack with every MPH over.) Just because all of us speed, doesn’t mean that we should be doing it.
