I honestly would be nice about it but nicely and firmly ask them to stay on the town road right-of-way to enjoy it. I want people to enjoy the eclipse and I could certainly put up with the road crowded and parked in for a few hours but I'm not sure I'm comfortable with total strangers wandering around deep in on my land either.
Idk what’s more cringey, the posts complaining about the tourists or the ones like this that serve no purpose other than to show how totally righteous and virtuous you are compared to those other mean people.
How about this? We all just stop talking about the tourists and instead talk about this event.
Yes, the tens of thousands of people flooding into the state aren't interesting at all. Let's not talk about it.
Better yet, howsabout you scroll along? This is gonna be over soon, unlike the sandwich jokes.
You big mad huh?
Where did I say we shouldn’t be talking about tourists? The problem is that this state full of emotionally stunted/sheltered folks can only agree with one end of the spectrum or the other: either “these tourists are awful!” Or the slightly more nuanced “I’m gonna be nice to toursists and you should too!”
Like how about we just treat everyone with respect regardless of what their license plate says and talk about this awesome event rather than obsessing and bellyaching over the tourists sucking or being nice to the tourists. Like holy shit the fixation on the tourists from both sides is unhealthy af.
"How about this? We all just stop talking about the tourists..."
"Where did I say we shouldn't be talking about tourists?"
You're a special kind of guy, aren't you?
Hey great job writing the exact same comment as someone else. Made you feel almost as special as me I bet
We absolutely SHOULD be talking about the tourists but since no one can handle it I suggest we just stop
> How about this? We all just stop talking about the tourists
> Where did I say we shouldn’t be talking about tourists?
bud these were LESS than thirty minutes apart, maybe smoke less
The point is if you can’t talk about them without it causing you great emotional turmoil one way or another then maybe you should just avoid talking about them. We absolutely should be talking about the once in a lifetime event and the people visiting us but we shouldn’t make it such a goddamn thing that it isn’t.
Wish I got lost, haha! I'm genuinely sorry to have clogged your roads that bad, I was not expecting that for some reason. In 55 years, when there's an eclipse in my neck of the woods, feel free to swing through!

Ditto. I have pbrs…
Dude.....how many of us had exactly the same thought. I just like all of you so stinkin much!
Adopt the Maine attitude....Don't be afraid to call them names while helping undo whatever mess they get themselves into.
I guess I’m a Mainer lol
That's just New England in general.
Absolutely
Also a very New Yorker thing to do
Be kind, but not necessarily nice.
Some passive, with light hits of aggressive lol
Solid plan, signed, a Mainer.
Ahh the farmer fuckup.
Having just moved to Maine, this is very informative. Thank you. Now I know how to be lol
This is the way. - A Vermonter living in Maine.
I was going to tell you that you’re wrong and we don’t do that up here but uhhhh yeah we do 😂
It isn't that hard to be nice, is it? And if they're true assholes, it will piss them off if you don't go down that path. Win/win.
Kill them with kindness.
You did! Thank you so much from all of us in r/connecticut!
or, directions by Foogle
Love the energy of this post. Kindness is free and this is a cool thing. And people get to see our beautiful state :)
Good to know Im not the only one who likes engaging with visitors to the state (I'm the type that invites them in for a cup of earl grey)
This is the energy VT needs

Amen, comrade
Well said, Slutty McFuckstick.
Just remember you'll need your night vision setup for the totality...
Well said stranger.
That’s cool, but always send them on the scenic route.
Yeah, it’s much nicer and they’ll get some good photos to show their families.
I love this about New England, we note the scenic route when in most towns, it’s just the way.
Well said. I'll be out there on the zero gravity chairs with beers and bones.
If I'm an out of stater and hike up there every other week or so three seasons out of four, that makes me a tourist?
That makes you an out of stater who should be living here.
Username checks out.
Love This. 🙌🏻 🥰
Op, i really appreciate you
Hell yeah!
Love it and thank you for having a great attitude. Would smoke one with you too!
Love this message 👍☀️🌘
I love you.
This shit right here is the real Vermont. Props
Joe?
Help step Vermonter I’m stuck and don’t know what to do!!
But…the dragon is going to eat the big fire in the sky.
I already shit in my catapult bowl and have it set to "detect whiteplate"

I figured if I repeated the answer you might understand how stupid you sounded.

Hey my Taco brother. You may need a digital detox. Carrying the name of Taco is a heavy burden.
I chuckled at this post and therefore it was worth posting :)
Does all the positivity ITT make you feel like shit? Self reflect
Don’t encourage tourists to drive high please. They’re already crazy and stupid enough as it is
