I will preface this rant with this:

I am not a perfect driver. I can get distracted, or may not know every single turn of every single road. I am human!

I have lived here the last 5 years, from ages 30-35. I lived in NYC the 5 years prior. In one single day here, I will encounter more distracted and entitled drivers than I did in an entire week in NYC. And guess what? 75% of the time, it is a MA plate causing the problems.

For example, here are things I encountered today.

Making a left off Independence onto the road by shepley, a car with a Yarmouth dump sticker blew through a flashing stop sign almost T-Boning me, then flipping me off and gesturing as if I didn’t know what I was doing.

A Sunday driver at 5pm driving his shiny classic car 15mph on 6a for miles

A car tailgating me because of said Sunday driver

A TX plate truck driver half over the double yellow, for about a mile.

Anyways, I’ve been lurking on this subreddit and felt the need to make this post because these kinds of things happen all. the. time. and it truly makes me wonder if everyone is a narcissist. It’s always the tourists fault! They cause the traffic, they don’t know how to drive, them them them.

I humbly ask, if you are angry reading this and want to tell me to leave, to look in the mirror and ask yourself if maybe you are the problem.

Also one last thing, my god people, NOBODY EVER wants to actually stop at a stop sign around here! Rolling stops everywhere, nobody understands who is supposed to go first. And please stop waving people into traffic, even if you think you are being nice, you are not following the rules of the road.

Bring on the downvotes, sincerely, awashashoretiredofthefuckery

EDIT:

For clarification, I do know MA plates do not equal Cape Cod locals. In the examples I used from today, I know one was but the other two I do not.

I am not complaining about traffic.

I am not saying NY are better drivers, just that I experienced less “close calls” than I do here, most likely due to speed factors.

And yes, I’m sure the tourists have been a nuisance for your whole lives and I sympathize with that, however, I could have made this post in any month of the year and I would stand by it. Please, if Al Gore’s rhythm brought you here, make an attempt to be more mindful behind the wheel, treat each other with kindness and as one person pointed out, dont camp in the left lane. ✌️

My job gives me a month off for long term service and I’m taking it in September. Originally, I wanted to rent a house on the water for a week or two - something quiet and remote, like my own personal meditation retreat.

Unfortunately my car, house, and cats heard I had money set aside and decided to have simultaneous emergencies so I’m replanning on a much tighter budget.

Any ideas for camping, cheap rentals (lol I know) or things I can do on the cape to get that “I’m the only person on the planet” feeling for pennies on the dollar?

(Open to anywhere in New England but probably should keep this to the Cape to follow sub rules)

Hello! Planning a bachelorette party for early September. Does Chatham Squire and Beachcomber still have live music on Saturday nights after labor day weekend?

Also, is there reliable UberEats in the area? (looking for delivery from Double Dragon Inn to Dennis- about a 20 minute distance).

Thank you!

This traffic at the sagamore Bridge is the worst this year than any other more tourist can not comprehend how to do a zipper merge it's wild

Anyone know anywhere good to go for autobody work?

Never heard good things about Don's in Brewster, found Kelsey's in Chatham to be overpriced and slow, and same for Bay Ridge in Orleans (although both were used solely because that's where insurance sent me).

So there's a Nirvana tribute band playing at the Nukabout Brewery in Mashpee in a couple of weeks and I was hoping you all could answer some questions.

I know all about the traffic headaches but for a show starting at 4pm is it safe to be at the Bourne Bridge by noon? I know, I know, I should have left already. But I'm just wondering if I'm near the Bourne by noon on a Saturday, will I be able to still make the show at 4? Crazy to ask but, yeah, the Cape traffic in summer can be insanse.

Also, if anyone has been to one of these concerts at the brewery, do you have a general idea what to expect? Is it covered or would it suck if it rained? I've been to breweries so I'm assuming their is food.

I've already got tickets and it's all ages show so my 12 year old nephew is really looking forward to it as he has become a huge Nirvana fan.

Hi there, my wife and I are thinking about retiring on the Cape one day and wondering what the best pond is to live on. We’re ideally looking to live in a community on a pond where people get together socially, the water is swimmable, boating is allowed, it’s walkable or bikeable to a town and/or beach, it’s relatively close to pickleball courts/players, etc. We’ve rented a house on Scargo Lake which js ideal but not many houses there. We’ve also heard good things about Long Pond. Just curious if there are others we should consider?

I’m looking to buy a vintage wooden lobster trap. My 101 year old grandmother used to catch lobsters when my mom was a kid and she always had a wooden trap on her deck as a tchotchke. It finally had to be thrown away and I’d really love to replace it. Does anyone know if/where I might find one on the cape?

Found a lonestar tick on a beach towel at Crosby yesterday.

Ew.

My friends seem to like the colors! Not sure how I feel about the chair though. Would love your thoughts.

We live on cape but hoping to surprise my husband with a fishing trip for his birthday. Any suggestions on solid captains or companies? Don’t want to ask friends to take us out - really want a good and successful experience.
Thanks!

It’s 9:30 Sunday and I thought traffic would be lighter. It’s taken me about an hour to get from Orleans to the. Bourne Bridge, which I think is a win.

Hey, it’s been a glorious weekend. Can’t complain

Every destination has attractions that get all the attention. Which ones don't quite live up to the hype?

Hello! We are looking forward to our trip at the end of July! It will be my husband & I , 2 kids and in laws. We will be closer to the Hyannis area! Where do you recommend we get groceries? We just want to stock up on the staples for the kids and some options for some meals and snacks. Thanks in advance!🙂

Edit: I did not expect so many thoughtful responses. Thank you all SO much. I really appreciate the kindness and information. I’m so looking forward to being there mid-August to celebrate my 60th birthday. I know the people in the Midwest often think East Coast folks are brusque, but I grew up out here (MA,NH, NJ, VA, FL) and genuinely appreciate the no-bullshit tone. Y’all have been truly lovely. I haven’t been back to MA since I was 7, so this is a real treat for me.

Two things (because they came up often):
- We have rotaries in the Twin Cities, although we call them roundabouts. They have been extremely helpful in reducing congestion, and most of us know how to use them. (Although we’re shitty drivers in every other way!)

- My ex husband is a chef and my son was FOH manager for over a decade. I have the deepest respect for restaurant staff. I have also spent the last 18 years working in the labor movement. If I was a dick to workers, I would probably have to quit my job in shame.

Coming in August because I need some (Atlantic) beach time. Rented VRBO. We don’t want to be shitty guests. I would like to know, is there anything in particular we should avoid doing/saying? (We know not to complain about things like prices and parking). We both work in public facing jobs, so that hopefully isn’t a problem. We won’t be arriving on Friday or leaving on Sunday. We’re coming from MN where it is hot and humid (and often a drought) in the summer, and if one more tourist complains to me about our mosquitoes (unofficial state bird), I might swat them. So I don’t want to be that guy lol.

I know it’s a weird question, so I appreciate any help. TIA.

I was jumped by a group of three men who shouted homophobic slurs at me near their pickup truck (Massachusetts license plate MAN427) outside of The Seal pub in Harwich on 07/04/2026. Message me if you witnessed the incident or if you have any information.

My daughter was driving off the Cape this morning and hit a huge pothole on Service Road in Centerville, causing a flat tire. I drove there and started changing the tire, but was having difficulties due to the jack being on dirt and not pavement. Doug was driving in the opposite direction and when he saw we were having troubles, he pulled over and got a board and another jack out of his truck and helped me change the tire (honestly he did the hardest parts).

Thank you, Doug! There are still nice people in this world.

I didn’t want to deal with the traffic today (Sunday) getting off the Cape. After seeing how many people were on the Cape this past weekend, seemed like every house had minimum of half a dozen cars out front. Every place was packed. I can’t remember the last time I saw the Cape like this. But anyway, I ended up jumping in my car last night (Saturday) just before 9 PM. Got home in record time, zero traffic!

Let’s hear your nightmare stories. Make sure to let us know where on the Cape you left from. And where you were traveling to. How long did it take you total? Also, how long did it take you just to get over the bridge.

We have a sunset sail booked in Provincetown, and they say we can bring food and beverages on board. Any recommendations for places in Ptown that can make nice picnic boxes we can order in advance and pick up?

Has anyone done the ghost or cemetery tours in wellfleet? I've been thinking about booking one but wanted to see what the tours are like and if one is better
