Yeah I don’t have a live trap I usually just pop them off with my 22 if they get to bothering and I’m only allowed to shoot them because they are a nuisance to my property but that what ya get I guess when you live at bottom of mountain with brook that runs straight out the bottom of the mountain where all the animals graze for water. You name it I’ve seen it by that watering hole. Oddest sight to see bear on one side while deer on other drinking water together.

If I'm driving the speed limit in the center or right lane during a snowstorm and that's not fast enough, that's a you problem. I fully admit to going 75 when it's nice out and the roads are clear- but during a storm it's not happening.

I took rte 9 for the sole purpose of the slower speed limits. I stayed in the right lane the whole way, drove the speed and kept a distance between myself and others. Started slowing down before stop lights to not slide into others- how am I in the wrong? Just pass me in other lane, I'm not gonna be moving out of the way cuz you're in a rush. I'm at work now. I don't start for another 45 minutes- why? Cuz I like to leave early and avoid traffic and not get into a road rage because I didn't plan my day right.

When you do shit like that- you're an asshole. Aggressive driving serves no purpose but fueling road rage and accidents. Both of which contribute to the exorbitant insurance rates we pay in this state.

After what happened to me over the course of the past 5 years, I am very suspicious of people. I don’t know what to make of you asking me these questions. I feel like you are setting me up for something so I am going to politely bow out of this conversation.

Growing up on the Cape we called pretty much anyone from out of state New Yorkers.

It’s a world class market!

If people are almost hitting you because of how slow you are going, why not pull over and let them pass?

I just call em flatlanders too, but that’s for a lot of things, not just driving in inclement weather

Whenever I've asked people why they drive so close the answer is invariably "I want to get there sooner/faster."

[shrug]

Isn’t it satisfying? Eventually with the asshole behind me started to really piss me off (again he could pass at anytime in left lane) so I ended up slowing down to the speed limit which at that point was 55. Too bad he never got a ticket.

Do you get bullied a lot?

Knuckleheads if I’m feeling generous

A lot of the snow in Colorado arrives in the morning and is gone by the afternoon (especially in Denver and Co Springs - high plains desert). I found Coloradans just as bad and aggressive as Massholes on the roads - snow or not - and moreso when I still had Mass plates.

Who’s the athol man?

Are you new to Reddit?

Can confirm - I lived in SoCal for a year when I was 19 (a zillion years ago) and was shocked at how people drove out there when it rained.

No distinction needed because people from here can't drive in the snow either.

They think their car has magical powers to overcome their lack of driving skills 😂

Watched a SUV go flying past me on the Merritt Parkway years ago when it was snowing hard and fast covering the roadway big time. Snow had already accumulated and trucks yet to clear.

There i was, in the right lane crawling in a company car (Ford Focus Wagon- all season tires) just taking it easy with this horrible car and conditions when a SUV in left lane flew by me.

As I was crawling, I watched the SUV all of a sudden cross over to right lane and continue into the woods. No heavy damage to it, the fool got out fine but seemed pissed off (gee, wonder why🤔).

Now, driving a Subaru Outback, no problem in snow and can travel at parkway/thru way speed levels without issue.

I just wish anyone in a poor vehicle not good in snow just learn to keep right and take their time as opposed to attempting faster travel that results in them spinning off sideways in front of us who know how to drive in snow.

Its the local roads where I find those who know or not know how to drive in snow and see them crash into poles, signs or off the road.

Well, for one, I'm starting to call them snowpokes

>work from home people.

Yo, leave us out of this, we have no impact on the housing market.

>How many people own more than one house just in Massachusetts alone?

Nowhere near as many as you think.

Yes, we call them Rhode Islanders.

I thought so too but I think it true

Yes

Wash-ashore's is what the Cape folks call anyone who isn't 7th generation lobstahmen
