Memorial Day Weekend is the unofficial start of tourist season. I bagged my first one Monday afternoon at work. Behold the following true life conversation …
Guy from Massachusetts: Your gas prices are high.
Me: I know, but they’re the lowest in the area. [It’s true … $2.379 for regular unleaded.]
Guy from Massachusetts: I’ll bet your coffee is cold.
Me: You’d lose. I just made it 10 minutes ago.
Guy from Massachusetts: It’s really windy up here today. And cold.
Me: You’re blaming me for the weather?
Masshole: No. Look … the cashier at the last store we stopped at was a real bitch and I’m taking it out on you.
Me: The last guy who was in here tried to look down my shirt. You want me to slap you for it?
Masshole: No.
Me: Then shut up.

Classic.
This was too funny!
Oh, man. Soooo funny! I have a pet peeve with people who visit places and then complain about them. If they don’t like other places, why not stay home and watch TV? Friggin’ doofs.
Thank you for that priceless gem Kel. I may owe you a royalty fee after I get the chance to use it on one of my “rich old n cranky” customers complaining about the plant selection in the Garden Center…
Let me know if you come across this bumper sticker, or smock pin for sale – “Mainer Living in Exile” – I’d almost settle for “Yankee in Exile” but I would not want anyone to think I turn-coat on my Sox – I’d sooner die of Black Fly wounds. Also – the term “Mainer” is to have the properly applied accent – MainAH – or possibly have the word “Maine-iack” as a possible substitute.
Do you have a row of photos over your register titled “Latest Kill”?
BG & Kristen, thanks!! 🙂
Robin, my thoughts exactly! When we visited DC / Northern Virginia last summer, you would not have encountered a group of tourists who were more polite and gracious than us. (Hard to believe, I know, but it’s true.)
Jana, I know the bumper sticker of which you speak. I’ll keep an eye out for one and send it along when I find one.
Crystal, we should start one of those! lol
Ahhhh…the invasion has begun.
Good luck!

I’ll be very nice when I come to Maine this summer! I swear. I won’t trouble no one! And I usually tell people I come from Romania, not from Massachusetts, when they ask. Will that do?
Fringegirl, invasion describes it!! lol
Lori, yep it will. LOL!
Seriously, if everyone from Massachusetts was even half as kind and big-hearted as you, Mainers would have NO trouble with people from your fair state.
