14 Of The Most Frustrating Moments Every Mainer Has Experienced At Least Once
Living in Maine means ocean breezes and sky high mountains. It also means some of the coldest temperatures in New England and rainy summers. But, we take the bad with the good because despite everything living in Vacationland is pretty darn great. Whether it’s temperature, language or tourists we’re all human and things get under our skin. Here are the (mostly funny!) frustrating experiences that come with living in Maine!
Pots. These are pots. Lobster pots are used to catch lobster.
We have summer, too. Just like a lot of other places. And those summers are pretty glorious.
We don't talk funny, maybe other people just hear funny.
No matter how much snow falls, you're probably going to work. Mainers are hearty and that means being able to drive through just about any weather.
These sounds lovely, but the reality is that all your secrets are spilled at these things. Showed up late for school? Mom knows now. Got in trouble with your friends? Not a secret any more.
Winter means ice, ice means broken roads and broken roads mean months of repair. Until winter comes again and the process starts all over again.
Mud season means we feel like this all the time. Or, at least our cars do.
You've planned the hike, you've found the recipes for wild blueberries, showed up in the morning only to find that everyone had already been on the trail. No more blueberries.
Nope. Seeing a moose in the road might be one of the scariest driving moments we've had.
Only a Mainer will understand this one. You saw that 50 foot hose and knew it would come in handy, but didn't buy it. It'll come back to you when you need exactly 50 feet of hose. We promise.
Anyone else expect to wake up to an inch only to find that it's a full fledged blizzard out there? Yep, us too.
Okay, okay. This has probably never actually happened. But, it would be hilarious if it did!
Even Mainers can't handle the snow sometimes. And it's usually these moments
Maine is a beautiful gem and we're lucky to be here.
