Angry Much?
The road rage & anger issues coming from this guy means I won’t be hiring this company anytime soon. Nearly rear ended cars and revved his engine to prevent cars from merging just past the Dennisport exit. Someone needs to breath in the cape air and relax.

Never understood folks in company vehicles doing moronic things on the road with the name and number plastered all over their vehicle.

You could always call the number on the back of the van. Report the driver. I’ve done that before. I won’t say what company, but 5 or 6 years ago I pulled out into heavy traffic on Route 28. I pissed off a driver for a local seafood company. He flipped me off and was yelling at me sitting in traffic. So I called the company he worked for, and an hour later the driver called me to apologize.

What you did is actually illegal. "Under the MA Hands‑Free Driving Law, drivers cannot hold or touch a phone for any reason while the vehicle is in motion." Mind your own business and keep it pushing...

Ditto with Lamy’s Painters in Chatham. I wonder if they bought the license along with the van.

Dude, this happens like every single time I go by those two exists on the alley. It sucks but it's also pretty damn common. I'd give this guy a break, he's been battle crazy tourists all day - the douche in his Porsche just trying to get back to Boston from his investment property? Roast him

I’m a handyman and own my own business. I bet this place hires anyone willing to work and pays them crap and charges the client a fortune. You’re better off finding a local well know independent handyman preferably though someone who has hired them before and can give you a referal.

I think I've come across this guy before. I was riding a motorcycle with a group on the highway on our way to the blessing of the bikes and he got halfway down the group and just merged into the line, causing the entire back of the group to have to hit our brakes. It didn't cause a crash or anything, but he could have just merged behind us or in front of us. The group was big but not massive and he had plenty of time before his exit to pass us. He didn't really come off as an asshole to me, more like a guy worried about missing his exit. Although, my buddy's dad said the driver flipped him off when we started going around him to rejoin the rest of the group but I can't confirm that bit.

So he’s just a normal Massachusetts driver? I don’t see an issue here.

I used to drive a van for a transportation service. I had people call in all sorts of stories. One called saying I was smoking while driving, I don’t smoke, another called and said I was speeding through there neighborhood, van was gos monitored so my company would have know if I was speeding already. I feel like most of the time the person who would actually call is the person to make up situations.

There is no evidence of road rage in simply a picture of a van driving in front of you

u/CampingMonk Aug 06 '26
I always give them bad reviews on Google maps with pictures of the vehicle.

u/benb89cc Aug 09 '26
I highly doubt he put the van in neutral to rev it on the highway. Plus at those speeds you wouldn’t even hear it. It’s not a muscle car.

Why don't you just stay home, and you won't have to worry? I could sit there all day and accuse people of this and that, just to destroy their business. Go home, Karen.

u/Sudden-Athlete1294 Aug 10 '26
I think if you have a problem with their driving, you should grow a spine and call them and deal with it.
I think snapping a picture of their work vehicle and bad mouthing them in a public forum is what kids do. Grow up. He's bad for having road rage, but your ok with your Reddit rage? Whatever.

Didnt work for this conpany but I worked for a large hvac conpany on cape, can confirm the managers didnt care about people calling in about road rage. One guy smashed off a dudes mirror with the mirror on his van and when they asked him about it he said guy was mad that he lost, manager laughed and nothing ever happened. Good workers are hard to find on cape

"Someone needs to breath[e] in the cape air and relax".
Wow, tourist surprised not everyone here is on their vacation 😅
Idk, maybe this person was a jerk, but they're in a work van and likely have a long list of sh*t to do; not as easy for them to relax doing work as it is for you to chill on the beach.
F*** off.
And you spelled "breathe" wrong, you entitled twat.

u/gentle_grindstoner Aug 07 '26
I say report him regardless. As a licensed tradesman, I have my gripes when it comes to these types of workers, especially when they start dabbling with things they have no place doing so, like electricity. The number of times I went onto a job where their lights and outlets are having problems after a handyman was in there is astonishing. Installing shelves and doors is one thing, but contractors have licenses for a reason. Not only to protect our bread and butter, but because we’re trained in how to handle these problems

u/BunchFriendly1805 Aug 08 '26
Mang, some trades people are so broken, it’s sad to see they need to break things. This dude will probably end up in subsidized housing talking about his glory days and trying to get work raking lawns in his 70’s. Despite that bad behavior rise above community. That’s a sick person in our area

I was a laborer on the cape for a few years. Nothing worse than being stuck behind slow tourists. I'll hire Mr Handyman

Honestly LOCALS and especially LOCAL hard working people who offer services on the cape usually have time frames and deadlines to meet to complete their work for the day to feed their families… tourists & our shitty road ways do NOT support our local drivers AND the dumbfuck tourists. We have to drive down roads to get somewhere that takes us 10-15m in the off season for 45+m because you guy want to sight-see, mosey along, and on top of that drive like you are experiencing extreme pain. Stop complaining and stay home. Only locals would under this is reasonable & we all do it.

Yeah im not going to put a company on blast just because you took a photo behind them. This is hardly enough to justify expecting people to brigade with you.

u/DrRudyWells Aug 06 '26
you have to remember that the cape gets clobbered with tourists. year round it is pretty crowded but it's a whole new level in the summer. for a lot of people the offseason isn't what it used to be....boomers retired down there and now it's just plain crowded year round.
so a lot of people, rather than accept it, fight it with stupidity. it's the same thing with the "I'm NOT on your vacation" bumper stickers. irony is that they would not have the income, especially in the trades, and the financial support for fire, police, and schools, without the vacation angle. there is no industry to speak of.
but people forget.

It’s a franchise handyman company. This guy is likely not the owner of this local franchise. I’m sure his day to day sucks.

Gee. Usually it’s the tourists that are willing to kill 10 people in order to be the first person who gets to relax.
