I went to the grocery store this morning and out of the 32 cars in the parking lot 27 had Quebec plates LOL! It is crazy how tourists treat our area, seemingly forgetting that some of us have to live here year round and if they destroy the place it doesn't "magically grow back" for them every winter, nope we have to fix it LOL! I will say that the Quebec families don't litter like the New Jersey tourists, they are just rude LOL. They will come to the beach and set up their chairs about 4 feet in front of another group so as to block their view when there is a whole beach available for them, aaaaargh!!!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847808.post-65248714189858175892012-07-28T08:50:25.210-05:002012-07-28T08:50:25.210-05:00Living in a tourist area all my life, I can so rel...Living in a tourist area all my life, I can so relate!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847808.post-90558506540113083232012-07-28T00:02:21.035-05:002012-07-28T00:02:21.035-05:00can i come be a tourist ?can i come be a tourist ?Qwaynthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01808587303956228158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847808.post-7914732305138326352012-07-27T09:05:22.237-05:002012-07-27T09:05:22.237-05:00GREAT rant and rave.

That would be wayyyy worse. A was talking to a gal yesterday who owns a local campground with her husband, and they experience the same thing there - and with random cars (teens, I'm thinking) driving through the campground at any hour of the night, just for sh*ts. Keeps her husband up.

I mean, it wasn't pleasant (mostly due to the heat again), but it wasn't one of those days when I thought I'd lose it. (Hmm, maybe I take that back: I *did* seriously think about having a cocktail over my lunch hour! Probably a good thing that I was occupied on the phone with the credit union during same hour!)<br /><br />But, yeah, after you've worked in a restaurant (check) and after you've worked retail (check), you'll NEVER be ANYTHING but as good, understanding and patient as you possibly can when you eat out or shop!Chicken Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11704834273210183660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847808.post-86189140473114499992012-07-26T10:11:53.126-05:002012-07-26T10:11:53.126-05:00HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!Jenyfer Matthewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10769550148821002722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847808.post-2528766707050273142012-07-26T09:51:18.393-05:002012-07-26T09:51:18.393-05:00It does make you wonder if these 'folks' a...It does make you wonder if these 'folks' are like this 24/7/365, or if they believe that being on vacation in someone else's town gives them license to revert to their chimpanzee ancestors.

I worked at a fabric store for years, my last day, hour, minute was when a mom brought her 3 sons about 14-10into the fabric store and they were playing catch in the store...across the store, running plays. After I helped a 80+ lady off the floor that they'd knocked down I grabbed the ball & held it till the Mom came over chewing me out for taking her precious babies ball. Because the old lady was in the way & I was a stupid B#$@h, she was never coming back.. I said thank you and held the door open. Took us nearly 3 hours to clean up, My last day of retail after 10 years in that store.Katididshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15568618127371786808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847808.post-51228470447737816892012-07-26T07:00:03.708-05:002012-07-26T07:00:03.708-05:00Funniest thing I've read lately - thanks!Funniest thing I've read lately - thanks!LindaCOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10316183776592482615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847808.post-34360233452372573162012-07-26T06:35:15.630-05:002012-07-26T06:35:15.630-05:00This is why I fear for the future of the human spe...This is why I fear for the future of the human species.Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436557172029575513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847808.post-43903139498186833712012-07-26T05:24:38.393-05:002012-07-26T05:24:38.393-05:00Ugh!
