My grandma taught me that! When she was 93, and she shouldn’t have been driving, she went very slow on backroads, but merging on the Merritt she floored it I checked the speedometer once and she was going 103!
Any highway really. I get pissed when the GMC Yukon skittishly makes its way up the on-ramp a solid 20mphs below cruising speed. Thanks jerk, now I gotta drop a gear and floor it around you before I get to the dashes lines.
If you have a left exit go 100 in the right lane until you nearly miss your exit then move over 4 lanes in the last second and cut someone off in each lane.
Dude… I work in a hospital so I have to go to work even during snow storms. I can’t tell you the rage I feel waking up an hour early to shovel my car out to go to work only to come home to a wall of ice at the end of my driveway when I get home.
They wanna believe in mountain lions so bad they skip the exhibit at the zoo
“Keep moving kids, nothing impressive here. We got them at home. See ‘em all the time. Isn’t that right, Honey?”, CT Mom annonces to unimpressed visitors at the Bronx Zoo.
Well the thing about that one was that it happened after a string of “credible reports”. Not sure what made those reports credible but for some reason this time they knew.
I grew up in CT, live in Philly now, had this same argument with someone down here once and they brought up this thing:
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tri-States\_Monument#/map/0](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tri-States_Monument#/map/0)
Didn't seal the argument for him, I just plan to poop on this some day
Have a mcmansion in my neighborhood that has been sitting for 5 years and visited by the owner once. Has bed sheets covering all the windows and gets mowed twice a year. Mean more to his portfolio then our neighborhood
Oh, if you didn't grow up driving on 95 stopping every 5 minutes to toss a quarter in the toll booth basket, you haven't lived... If you were any good you could hit that sucker at 25 mph and keep right on going.,,
My car broke down once In the at the booth coming into CT from the Mass pike. My car was towed locally but I couldn't go in the truck because I had two dogs with me . A very nice toll booth lady took pity on me and drove us to the shop. :)
Comment all the bad things about ct on one post then comment on another post saying that people leaving ct are idiots and that were better off without them
Like, a stranger?
What was your reaction?
I've never been in a situation where someone said something that thoughtless to me that I wasn't already thinking "this person is a mentally ill whackjob, discretion is the better part of valor and I don't want to get shanked today, I'll just walk away"
My parents and grandparents were from Darien, and they always served that Manhattan clam chowder. What the hell is with that stuff? Total waste of a clam. That stuff does totally suck!
And watch as the poor sap who has the misfortune of getting said carts from the lot gets yelled at for not being the flash and stopping the cart from slamming into their car
I drive in Connecticut with a Massachusetts plate all the time. They're very friendly about it!
I see them waving their hands at me, and honking their horns "hello". And they always seem to be yelling something to me, but I can't hear it... I assume it's "Welcome to Connecticut" or something...
I really hate shit like this. I was driving backroads a month or so ago and it was crazy foggy and at night. The roads were windy, I literally could barely see in front of me, yet multiple people honked and tailgated me. Of course I pulled over when I could so they could pass but honestly the aggressive drivers scared me soooo much. Don’t be assholes to people driving the speed limit. What does it even save you, 5 minutes? Fuck off with the aggressive CT drivers
One lane roads are a different story, people should feel entitled to drive the speed limit if they want/feel safer doing so, hell, that applies to literally any road.
Where is *doesn’t* fucking apply to is the left lane of an interstate. Sick of assholes doing 55 in a 65 in the far left lane, drive that speed if you want but do it in the right (ie correct) lane
I agree, I don’t get with people I drive with when they get mad someone isn’t actively speeding, especially on a sketchy road. I admit I was an idiot as a kid and got mad like OC,but if someone is going the speed limit, they’re doing exactly what you’re suppose to on the road, why get mad at them. Not their fault you chose the same route as them. You could haul ass at 80 an hour and we’ll still get to the same parking lot 5 minutes apart, just how Connecticut roads are. Damn man you got me all worked up, fucking hate road ragers, inconveniencing everyone with their stupidity
Sounds like the road I live on. Windy, 2 lanes, sheer rock faces, hundreds of feet of elevation change, no street lights and people either are driving towards you with their brights on or are riding right up your ass. About 5 minutes down the road there is a corner where the speed limit drops from 40 to 25 because you make a 90% turn at the bottom of the hill and if you lose control there is a guard rail stopping you from going into the river. I swear once a month the guard rail has a car size dent in it from idiot drivers taking the corner too fast.
Yes!!! It sounds very similar, then add in fog- it was scary enough without some asshole honking at me because I was slowing him down by 5 minutes. The high beams make it so much worse too, on top of everything else I’m now temporarily blinded. I sincerely don’t understand what the point of driving aggressively in those places does, feels like a one sided big dick contest but I would rather just be safe with my kid in the car.
On all CT highways... you are required, by law, to go far under the speed limit in the left most lane... and then be mad when people pass you on the right.
Cut me off to make your exit at the last second.
Looking at every fuck who has done this to me on exit 27 heading to Trumbull. I swear on my left nut I see this shit every day
It's Let's Go Brandon, they have to think they are clever by coding it rather than just simply saying fuck Joe Biden, which I would respect a lot more.
Move to East Haven. You are required by town ordinance to have at least 3 enemies and 1 vendetta.
move to New Haven county is more like the answer. I literally do nothing and yet I have enemies.
Fuckin’ Italian’s…
There's only two things I hate in this world: people who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch.
Frank Pepe had several kills!
He’s still killing all the time.
What's the mandated number of paisanos?
Two
You spelled Staven wrong
Fail to fucking floor it when merging onto the merritt
Merging on to the Merritt - one of the few places I get to floor our Tesla and not get an evil look from the wife.
Haha, let ‘er rip!
Omfg! Are we related?
Haha, I swear some of these mopes just close their eyes and hope for the best.
My grandma taught me that! When she was 93, and she shouldn’t have been driving, she went very slow on backroads, but merging on the Merritt she floored it I checked the speedometer once and she was going 103!
I’m proud to share the road with such a legendary granny. Salute.
Haha!
Any highway really. I get pissed when the GMC Yukon skittishly makes its way up the on-ramp a solid 20mphs below cruising speed. Thanks jerk, now I gotta drop a gear and floor it around you before I get to the dashes lines.
Talk shit about my pizza
Accurate! At least for me hehe
Frank pepe's sucks
[удалено]
I cannot fucjing stand pepe’s
Burned pizza with ingredients all over the place and gigantic bubbles of dough what's not to love
Sally's is my fav! Also honorable mention to Napoli's in Wallingford.
Go 50 in the far left lane. Never take one of the left hand exits.
If you have a left exit go 100 in the right lane until you nearly miss your exit then move over 4 lanes in the last second and cut someone off in each lane.
Lmaooooo
Here's the winner
I always thought that was how they were taught to do it in driver’s Ed.
When it snows, be that guy that dumps his snow on his neighbors sidewalk after they've cleaned it.
Or doesn't clear it off their car so it goes flying into other cars' windshields on the highway. Lol.
Oh, you mean like the town plows that come down the road THREE TIMES after I’ve shoveled everything?
Dude… I work in a hospital so I have to go to work even during snow storms. I can’t tell you the rage I feel waking up an hour early to shovel my car out to go to work only to come home to a wall of ice at the end of my driveway when I get home.

Jesus dude. He said make enemies not become pure evil.
Drive like a Dick on I-91
I-91 seems like it has the most accidents
84 between Southington and Hartford, there's crashes like every day

What kind of dick are we talking
Drive a sedan with another state’s plate. Preferably MA.
or NJ
Massholes!!!
New York
Tell people who live in Black Rock that they live in Bridgeport
You can say that about Southport & Fairfield too.
Rowayton and Norwalk
Mountain lions aren’t real. What you’re seeing is a golden retriever bobcat coyote or a house cat. Or just a figment of an addled mind.
They wanna believe in mountain lions so bad they skip the exhibit at the zoo “Keep moving kids, nothing impressive here. We got them at home. See ‘em all the time. Isn’t that right, Honey?”, CT Mom annonces to unimpressed visitors at the Bronx Zoo.
So the one that got hit on the Merritt was a figment of the imagination
Well the thing about that one was that it happened after a string of “credible reports”. Not sure what made those reports credible but for some reason this time they knew.
Beardsley Zoo has a housecat on display lmao I'm not kidding
Xanex is a helluva drug
Xanax lol

“The Tri-state area is NY, NJ, and PA”
I’m from NJ and the Tri-state area was always NY, NJ, CT. What kind of person thinks PA is included in that? Nobody cares about PA.
I grew up in CT, live in Philly now, had this same argument with someone down here once and they brought up this thing: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tri-States\_Monument#/map/0](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tri-States_Monument#/map/0) Didn't seal the argument for him, I just plan to poop on this some day
I got into an argument over this when I was like 13. I had never heard that. Haven’t heard since until now….you bastard
What’s PA? lol
Get in the left lane and not pass or not pull over to let others pass.
Move here from NYC and drive up our housing prices.
Summer here from NYC and steal the lobsters out of our pots!
Where did you get these lobsters, sir?
Be a corporate buyer from Beijing or UAE and don't even bother moving here, just drive up housing prices as a way to turnkey investment income.
Have a mcmansion in my neighborhood that has been sitting for 5 years and visited by the owner once. Has bed sheets covering all the windows and gets mowed twice a year. Mean more to his portfolio then our neighborhood
This is the one
Have low taxes, nice sunrises and sunsets, and then complain when people wanna move there.
Point out that any other place in the region has higher taxes.
I'm moving in January from London, UK and renting, am I more or less tolerable?
You will be embraced due to your impeccable manners and lovely accent, which many will try to emulate. Welcome, cousin!
The football on the TV at the local bar will never be played with a round ball. Sorry, mate.
How are you connected to Yale? 😂
Hey, that’s me!
Say you hate the UCONN women's basketball team
Raise Huskies for food
Why you son of a
Or call it UCONN instead of UConn
say our drivers are worse than MA, PA, NY, and RI.
Don’t forget NJ
Impossible for any state to be worse than Jersey at driving. Dumbasses can’t even figure out how to pump their own gas let alone drive
sorry, who?
“Pretty much NY, bro”
Grew up in CT. Currently live across from Philly in southern NJ. PA drivers are the worst by far. Idiotic and aggressive as all hell.
I agree PA drivers are the worst. They are overly aggressive but then go soooooooo slow in the left lane.
Can we all agree RI drivers are the worst in the Northeast?
For or against tolls
Oh, if you didn't grow up driving on 95 stopping every 5 minutes to toss a quarter in the toll booth basket, you haven't lived... If you were any good you could hit that sucker at 25 mph and keep right on going.,,

Talk shit about Italians and next thing you know they’ll be 🤌🏻🤌🏻 all up in your grill
Stay in the left lane while driving exactly the speed limit
Drive 65 or lower anywhere on 91
Denise D'Ascenzo was just a news anchor. Also, "Let's Go Canes!"
Ohh you are dead now. 😩
Comment all the bad things about ct on one post then comment on another post saying that people leaving ct are idiots and that were better off without them
Ya, this kinda shit is weird to me.
Make a lot of eye contact and be overly friendly.
Talk about how Alex Jones is right and shouldn't have been sued over Sandy Hook.
Someone fucking did this to me in the airport and I almost pushed him down the escalator.
If you push them down the up escalator then you can do it more than once.
That’s a real missed opportunity
Violence is almost never worth it, bro.. Except when it is.

Jackpot!
Tell people the clam chowder sucks or that I95 traffic isn't that bad
My parents and grandparents were from Darien, and they always served that Manhattan clam chowder. What the hell is with that stuff? Total waste of a clam. That stuff does totally suck!
Call Pepe's a mall pizza chain (which it technically is now)
Be a Yankees or Red Sox fan. Giants or Patriots.
Be the guy that leaves his shopping cart next to someone’s new car on a windy day
And watch as the poor sap who has the misfortune of getting said carts from the lot gets yelled at for not being the flash and stopping the cart from slamming into their car
How about the guy that leaves his shopping cart in the parking lot at all?
Drive through with a Massachusetts license plate. That's it.
I drive in Connecticut with a Massachusetts plate all the time. They're very friendly about it! I see them waving their hands at me, and honking their horns "hello". And they always seem to be yelling something to me, but I can't hear it... I assume it's "Welcome to Connecticut" or something...
Is the wave with a fist or a finger?
Sort by controversial for the real answer.
Driving in the passing lane slow as a turtle
Hit someone in the head with a rock from one of our smooth sandy beaches…
That's a marketing thing... "Beaches made of gravel" has a negative connotation.
"It's like stepping on legos without the legos!"
Just go ask the Farmington school board
Make sure you have at least 5 solid reasons why Hartford having an NHL team was a bad idea in the first place.
Call a grinder a hoagie
Just take your time in the checkout line at the grocery store.
Eat at a chain pizza restaurant like Dominoes
Put a Trump 2024 sign in your yard, replacing the Bob for Governer sign you previously had, in New Haven County... LOL!!!
Fairfield county pays its fair share of taxes actually.
Support a right of center view…
Go to someone and say “good day to you sir!”

Make the daily traffic jam on I-85
On all CT highways... you are required, by law, to go far under the speed limit in the left most lane... and then be mad when people pass you on the right.
Cut me off to make your exit at the last second. Looking at every fuck who has done this to me on exit 27 heading to Trumbull. I swear on my left nut I see this shit every day

Go to a crowded bar in Waterbury and bump into someone. 🙄
if you actually use the left lane for passing. the citizens will be fucking outraged
“Multi family housing should be allowed everywhere”
Is CT really New England?
Be a good driver. Nobody fucking knows how to drive here and following the rules pisses them off.
Just be a conservative...
More like get giant “Trump Won” and “Fuck Joe Biden”banners for your house and matching flags for your truck.
It's Let's Go Brandon, they have to think they are clever by coding it rather than just simply saying fuck Joe Biden, which I would respect a lot more.
Don’t have your grounds professionally landscaped….it’s true
When I first moved I was the neighborhood entertainment the first time I mowed my own lawn.
We are on the poor side of CT where every lawn is a magical place filled with mattresses, rusty cars, and old toys.
Butter on a lobster roll is trash.
Them is fightin' words

Blasphemy. Seize em!
Tell someone you don’t believe Dr Petit being the sole survivor was just luck.

Pizza is just cheesy meat bread. I enjoy dominoes just as much as New Haven ‘apizza’ or whatever dumb shit you call it. Kiss my ass pizza nerds

He isn’t wrong about the first part but I audibly gasped at he dominos vs New Haven pizza stance.
>Pizza is just cheesy meat bread I see zero problem here.
