buffalojedwardo Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Just curious to hear from my fellow brotherhood if you guys hate the bottom right corner of America. Recently visited Maine and was treated like ***** after presenting my ID at every bar. I know the world is in turmoil right now but wanted your thoughts.

Are you trying to say that you were treated poorly in Maine because they knew you were from Florida? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 In New England there’s this funny love-hate sentiment toward tourists. Here in Vermont we very much rely on tourism for our economy, yet it seems that everyone always complains about the tourists. They’re rude, they drive too slow, they drive too fast, etc... It’s bizarre and I don’t really understand it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know it was the ID that was triggering your treatment? How do we know you aren't an extremely unlikable prick? Just kidding. LOL. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I trust @BringBackFergy is mustering up the Washington County Militia in Whitehall. When he gets time, you guys are toast. Enough of that Frenchy influence! 😏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, there is a price to pay. 🤷♀️ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
